Do you ever get nervous before a test? How about when the boss gets on to you at work? Do you get easily stressed before making important decisions? This is how anxiety feels and guess what…it is a totally normal behavior, even though they feel crippling at the time. Did you know everyone feels anxious every once in a while? However, there are a group of mental illnesses that can cause a person to shut down and can keep a normal life at bay. These types of mental illnesses are called Anxiety Disorders. For people who have one of the Anxiety Disorders, fear and worry are a constant barrage upon the human psyche that can be both overwhelming and disabling. The good news is, with treatment, many people can kick fear and worry to the curb as they manage those feelings and get back to a normal life. All Anxiety Disorders have some of the same prevailing symptoms such as: • Panic, fear, and uneasiness • Sleep problems • Not being able to stay calm and still • Cold, sweaty, numb or tingling hands or feet • Shortness of breath • Heart palpitations • Dry mouth • Nausea • Tense muscles • Dizziness Did you know that at Renewed Freedom Center you can find help to defeat these enemies?They are known to provide short-term treatments with long-term benefits.

Check out what 10-Year-Old Nick had to say, “Before, when I didn’t go to Dr. Yip, my life was hard and there were hard times. I didn’t get to school early, because I would be nervous that I would throw up, or something bad would happen to my parents like getting in a car crash. I yelled every night, because I would be mad at my sister or my parents for messing up my rituals. I had to do repetitive actions of something, or I would think something bad would happen if I didn’t do them. When my friends would call and ask me to go over, I would say “Sorry, I have something to do,” because I would be scared something bad might happen like getting in a car crash in their car unless they lived on my block. Now that I see Dr. Yip, everything is so much better. I can enjoy my life. I go to school on time, every morning. I don’t yell every night. And my family loves having my old self back.” There is hope! You are not in this fight alone! Visit getting the help you deserve. I can relate to Nick. I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, coupled with ADHD and Bipolar II Disorder. I’ve lived with it my entire life and only sought out help in my adult years. Tasks, such as going to the grocery store, cleaning a dirty home, talking to someone you do not know well, even being somewhat productive, can all be tasks that create this overwhelming feeling, and you simply want to give up. I would micro-manage every little detail, and if I didn’t have a ritual, or established habit of doing things, my days were spent idly doing nothing in an effort to get things done. I would feel fear, panic, and even anger. Children running and yelling, loud noises, being bothered while focused on other tasks, all of these things triggered my anxiety. I would feel irritable, hopeless, foggy headed, and unnerved. Life doesn’t have to be lived in this way, though. There is help. There is hope. Please, find help for these problems. You deserve so much better than to feel this way. Our Social Pages: |
