Anxiety takes many forms for each person. Maybe, when patient wake in the morning and open their eyes, a vague, unidentifiable feeling of fear or anxiety envelops them. They are aware of their heart beating quickly, or even banging in their chest.

Or perhaps some patients of anxiety feel just a fluttering sensation. Breathing in and out deeply can be a big help. They scan the room, looking for the source, but know it isn’t there. Fear grows inside them. As they start the day the feeling of anx

iety is there. Perhaps it takes the form of a churning in their stomach; or a tingling in every limb; or a suffocating fear wrapped around their throat.

They somehow keep the feeling at bay, and they go on with their daily lives. But inside patients of anxiety still lurks the dreadful feeling that the fear will come back again, suddenly, out of the blue, catching them unawares.

Or perhaps it comes right along with them, that unidentifiable sense of impending disaster. Their limbs are restless

; their mouth is dry; their mind is racing with thoughts that they can’t even catch – they slip in and out of mind so fast. It becomes very difficult to do daily tasks. And, worst of all, patients of anxiety have no idea why this is happening.

Or maybe their anxiety is less intrusive than that. They look perfectly normal, behave perfectly normally, get on with their life apparently normally. However, they still feel that something is missing and they don’t feel fulfilled. They are often panic

ky or nervous. They cannot relax most of the time. {”What if?” and “shouldn’t I?” questions run through their mind most of the time (although they might not be aware of this yet), along with concerns about what others think of them, whether what they do is good enough, and is it worth bothering anyway, considering the state of the world?|There are often bothered by “what if?” or “shouldn’t I?” thoughts.

Or perhaps sometimes their mind just goes a complete blank. They feel they have to do things perfectly at all times that is often the cause of failure in accomplishing these things or sometimes do not even start doing it. The feeling of anxiety burdens them. Sometimes, the feeling goes away at night as they go to sleep but there are also times that they are awakend by this intense and dark feeling. Sometimes, it becomes too much to handle at once and they start to panic.

How do I know this? It’s because I was a patient of anxiety. But I have good news for you…

That tyranny is now about to end, because this I will help put you back in charge. I will help you take control. Instead of anxiety working against you, I can help you to control your anxiety so that you can use it to work for you.

You will need to keep this in mind. The internal mechanism that drives your anxiety was serving you well when it first went on full alert, whatever the original cause (and it really doesn’t matter if you have forgotten what that was). It was doing its job – trying to keep you safe.

This mechanism is on overdrive, and like all things, anything that is over the normal is bad for you.

You will learn why this is happening to you and learn how to take it under control.

We can never eliminate fluctuating anxiety levels and wouldn’t want to, as they have a job to do. What we need to do is to learn how to manage them so we can use it to our benefit. And that’s what you’re about to learn.
