Anxiety about the virus is As Serious As the virus Itself

Here are the symptoms of an anxiety attack:-

• Sudden overwhelming fear

• Palpitations

• Sweating

• Trembling

• Shortness of breath

• Sense of choking

• Chest pain

It is very easy to confuse the symptoms of an anxiety attack with the symptoms of the virus and the new pandemic.

So why are you getting an anxiety attack to start with?

It is your body's physiological response to prolonged anxiety and stress.

So the best thing to do is reduce your levels of anxiety and stress.

Here are 3 ways to reduce your anxiety levels.

What to do to reduce Anxiety?

1) Limit or Avoid over consuming Virus News On Social media and TV. You may think staying in the know is helpful. In fact, all the information you actually need you already have. Most new information you acquire is only feeding your anxiety

2) Stop worrying about things you have no control over. Like when will we get back to work at the office or when will airports reopen. Only focus on things you can control like staying home and washing your hands!

3) Understand this! Your best defense against any disease is your own immune system. Being in a stressed mood compromises your immunity and makes you more susceptible to fall ill. So pretty please, with sugar on top, CHILL!!!!

What an anxiety disorder looks like -

The anxiety that people are experiencing, that we're seeing in our clinics about the pandemic that is going on, is equally as serious as the pandemic itself.

There are two symptoms that are causing people to panic if they experience them right now.

One of these is having a fever or feeling of high temperature and the big one is a feeling of shortness of breath.

So to be perfectly clear, if somebody is experiencing an anxiety attack, they would feel a tightness in their chest, they would feel a feeling of choking, they would feel like it's more difficult to breathe.

That most likely means that you're experiencing an anxiety attack.

So why is it that people experience anxiety attacks? Anxiety attacks are basically a physiological response from your body, to sustain stress.

And so, the best thing you can do for yourself right now is to reduce the amount of stress you're putting yourself and your body under. So here are a few quick ways where you can do this.

FIRST

And I implore you to do this, get the hell off of social media and stop watching the news 24/7. Everybody seems to be trying to keep track of this pandemic thing 24/7 by staying glued to their Facebook or wherever the hell you get information online or watching TV all the time.

This is not helping you. I want to be crystal clear about this. All the information you need about this pandemic, you already have.

SECOND

I cannot recommend highly enough is pretty please, stop trying to control things that you have no control over. You cannot control when airports are going to re-open.

THIRD

Final thing that I want to stress. I want you to please understand this. The only real defense against you have against this pandemic that is going on is something that you already have.

It is called your immune system.

So the best chance you have of surviving this entire ordeal is to actually take care of yourself.

Please understand this.
