Know What Social Anxiety is…

Before I present to you, some social anxiety help, let’s first take a look at what social anxiety is.

social anxietySocial Anxiety is basically Anxiety applied to social situations and interaction with other people. What makes Social Anxiety different from the normal circumstances of everyday Social life, is that Social Anxiety is triggered by feelings of fear and of disempowering situations such as those situations which you are unfamiliar with and where you are being, or going to be watched or evaluated by others.
This is one of the most common Anxiety Disorders and also the third most common mental disorder in the USA, generally showing up more in women between 15 and 37 years of age, however affecting a large percent of men too. Social Anxiety is also known to go unnoticed for many, until confronted with certain situations, which are new, and require social interaction.

Social Anxiety help may be easier for some than for others depending on the situation they are in, as there are some that are easier to cope with than others, and depending if the problem is associated to anxiety disorders and other emotional factors. In most cases though, social anxiety help is based on the same principals and psychological principles and can be easily aided and resolved with self-help and the technique I demonstrate below.
Sometimes when simple advice doesn’t work, it may be because the social anxiety has developed into a social phobia or social anxiety disorder. You will know if it applies to you because Social Phobia is a chronic and disabling problem that can reduce your quality of living. In some cases social phobia has even lead to people quitting their jobs just because of a high level of social interaction. If this is not your case, then let’s stick to the social anxiety help.

Social Anxiety Help Tips

Social anxiety help that really worked for me was the one, which taught me to how to guide my thoughts through a more rational direction when faced with anxiety, and to take a completely different approach and reaction towards the situation.
You see, most help would just make up a bunch of lies and hogwash such as imagining stupid things and stupid situations that are completely ridiculous and can worsten the situation.

First of all, good help will teach you to stop avoiding situations that cause anxiety in the first place causing desensitization or “controlled exposure” to the situation. What happens here is that the desensitization actually puts you in a control position over the situation.

stage fright as social anxietyLet’s take a look at my example. I preferred death over public speaking, and this also applies to meetings and gatherings with more than 2 people.
All the junk on the internet tells you to imagine the people in your public as donkeys or jellyfish, and to breathe deeply, and think happy thoughts. All of it is wrong, as it only increases anxiety levels, and I used to suffer from anxiety disorder.
The real help came when I applied the techniques in the “Panic Away” Program, which consist on allowing the situation to happen, and actually participate in it and lead the entire situation before it takes you down.
The program teaches you how to stay in command of your mind and of the entire situation, and how you can prepare yourself for the social events in your life, how to deal with anxiety for good, and how to immediately stop any panic attacks caused by social anxiety, without the use of medications. All you will ever need to overcome your Anxiety is in the program.

The best social anxiety help can only be found in this self-help program, which actually explains in detail what you should be doing and thinking, before, during and after attempting any social interaction when you are a victim of social anxiety.

I hope this little bit of social anxiety help was useful to you, if you would like to know more about the techniques that you can use, or the “Panic Away” Program, you can contact me: info (at) mypaniccure.com or just leave your comment below. I’d love to hear from you!

Serotonin and Anxiety

Posted on January 12, 2011 by rogermac

What is Serotonin?

Serotonin is a biochemical neurotransmitter, a type of chemical that helps relay signals from one area of the brain to another. Although serotonin manufactured in the brain, where it performs it’s primary functions, most of the supply can be found in our central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract and platelets.

Serotonin is believed to influence a wide variety of psychological functions and other body functions seeing that most of our brain cells are influenced by serotonin. Some of the outcomes include general mood, sleep, learning capabilities and memory, sexual desire and function, and social behavior.

It is mostly known as “the hormone of happiness” (despite not being a hormone), for being a high contributor to the feelings of well-being.

Serotonin and Anxiety

serotonin and anxietyResearchers have discovered that serotonin and anxiety are a major cause of depression. The imbalance in serotonin levels (serotonin deficiency) may influence mood in such a way, which causes depression. Other possible problems may include low production of serotonin, serotonin deficiency, inability for receptor sites to receive serotonin or a shortage of tryptophan; chemical from which serotonin is produced.

Researchers have also discovered that there is a direct relation between serotonin and anxiety, and that serotonin deficiency can also lead to panic attacks, anger rages and anxiety disorders.

 

Serotonin and Anxiety Diet

An anxiety diet cannot directly supply serotonin to the body. It can however increase the levels of tryptophan, the amino acid from which serotonin is produced.

Tryptophan can be found in natural sources such as protein-rich foods. This includes beef, liver, meat and chicken, fish, soya protein, brown rice, peanuts and nuts, pumpkin, sesame seeds, lentils, dairy products such as cheese and milk. That is why a glass of warm milk before bed is the ideal solution for a good night sleep.

It is also important to balance the intake with the Vitamin B6 sources (meat, whole grain products, vegetables and nuts) as it is the Vitamin B6 that influences the rate at which tryptophan is converted to serotonin.

JoggingExercise, Serotonin and Anxiety

It has not yet been proved that exercise can raise the levels of serotonin in your body, but however, it has been proved that it is a great contribution to change your mood. Regular exercise is as effective as, and is the equivalent to treatment for depression, antidepressant medication or psychotherapy.

 

Best Tip to End Anxiety

My best tip to help you end your Anxiety for good, and which helped for me, is to combine a serotonin and anxiety diet with exercise and self-help.
