Anxiety is a feeling we get when we are faced with a threat (real or perceived). Anxiety as a response has been around since the dawn of time and is often referred to as “fight or flight”. Imagine the scene. A caveman steps out of his cave, breathes in the fresh morning air, stretches his hairy limbs, and sets about foraging for breakfast.

Suddenly, a large predator appears, and our caveman begins to experience what we now refer to as anxiety. His muscles tense, and his heart rate increases dramatically, forcing more blood into the muscles and brain. His breathing is faster, and he begins to sweat. At this point, he can fight or flee; he chooses to return to his cave.

Anxiety Today

In our modern world, we may not face the same ravenous beasts as our caveman ancestors, but we have many stressful and unpleasant situations to face. Financial worries, family problems, the pressure at work, divorce, or bereavement, all of these things can cause us to want to run and hide in our cave or lash out in self-defence. This can be quite a problem today, as we often cannot do either of these things and still gain a satisfactory resolution.

What Causes Anxiety?

All of us feel anxious from time to time; however, when a person remains in an anxious state for too long, anxiety can become their only response to any situation that arises.

Symptoms Of Anxiety

Are you nervous, worried, frightened, on edge, tense, restless, light-headed, or dizzy?
Do you constantly worry, have difficulty concentrating, have thoughts racing, imagine the worst, have a poor self-image, avoid people, think you’re losing control, feel faint, or believe you are having a heart attack?
Do you experience a pounding heart, tightness in the chest, tingling fingers and toes, aching body, change in breathing pattern, sweating, an urge to go to the toilet, blushing, hot flushes, shaking, trembling, or panic attacks?

If a number of these symptoms describe how you feel, then it is pretty likely that you are suffering from anxiety.

Why Does Anxiety Become A Mindset?

Anxiety becomes prolonged for several reasons:

Anxious personality, a natural worrier. The habit has been learned generally from a family member.
Continuous stressful events cause habits and outlooks to develop.
Constant exposure to the physical symptoms of anxiety can cause people to spontaneously react to all situations anxiously.
Predicting anxiety. The fear of fear itself. The fear that anxiety will return.
Avoidance or flight. Avoiding situations that have previously caused stress can often compound this feeling when faced with the same situation again.
