Web Site - Overcoming Anxiety

texstyle

I came across this web site recently and I thought I'd share since many here on YLF have mentioned having trouble with anxiety. I think it's more common than most people care to admit and this site had some really interesting techniques for dealing with anxiety. I don't have any affiliation or even know who created this site so of course you must do your own research there.

That looks good Texstyle! Another favorite of mine is Anxieties.com I used that one and Takingflight.us to overcome my 25 year phobia of flying! I now fly quite comfortably, thank you very much! So much so that I'm flying from Canada to the UK in the fall!

Anxieties CAN be overcome, but it's hard work. The side benefit is that strategies used to overcome one specific anxiety can be translated into other anxieties (fear of the dentist for me) as you gain the courage to take them on.

I'd encourage anyone to learn a few of these techniques.

Thank you for sharing that. I wish I had that kind of resource when my mother was still alive. Coping with her anxiety issues was tough for our entire family. I had a hard time understanding what the problem was until the first time I had a panic attack (I've only had two, both in times of extreme stress). I think it's very important for not only the people with depression and anxiety issues to seek out these resources and help, but also loved ones. It can be hard to understand and be compassionate unless you have good information.
