In the morning and away from home, holding my heavy books and heading to the exam. Then a question crossed my head: Did I have the pencils and eraser? and then begins the 15 minutes panic mission to find the above University tools. It is when all the bad ideas start crossing your head: what if I did not find the pencils, what if this journey of finding the pencils delayed me from reaching the university on time, what if i miss the bus while I am searching, and more what ifs that blinded me from the pencils that were already in my bag. What is anxiety? It is a fear from the future or the upcoming situation, in which we predict the scariest ideas which may and may not have some truth in it. Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety: When we are anxious we lose concentration, we suffer from insomnia, our heart beats will increase dramatically. In short we exhaust our self by being anxious. Anxiety with all of these symptoms, drains our energy and make us weak physically and emotionally. High heart beats, can not sleep, loss of appetite, low concentration, shivering. How to overcome anxiety: When something happens and you feel that you may lose control and become anxious, leave that place, go to a quit place, call a friend. Some do write assuring notes to be read when they are anxious, example: It's fine, I am just exaggerating, I have been there and nothing happen, It is ok to be anxious, I am going to focus on doing this or that, I can control this situation. Remember it is a state of mind and you can control it with time if you have the well to do it.
