Avatar n tn The Anxiety & Phobia workbook by Edmund Bourne has helped me tremedously. Very informative. I enjoyed how the workbook helped me find the cause of my anxiety, and how to work through them on a daily basis, at the end of each chapter, a person keeps a journal of improvements, answering questions, etc..... I was surprised to find out how much anxiety relates back to my childhood, upbringing etc.... The workbook taught me to identify my own personality.
Avatar m tn Hi. I would like to know if you can help me manage my anxiety and OCD. I generally have light OCD compulsions, like having all my pencils in a specific order or stuff like that, but when anxiety kicks in regarding some event like for example being mugged or being afraid o f a disease the my OCD gets really weird and I start checking symptoms every hour or I start bing afraid of people in the street and stuff like that.
Avatar f tn I was going through workbook pages for my stress management class, and one of them had been all about personality types. We had to go through the page, checking off things that were relevant to us. After looking at all that I marked, it showed me as a codependent personality type. I had never really thought about it or realized it until now. Thinking about it now, I did everything for my bf and always put him before myself. I came second to him always.

Avatar f tn on Sept 3rd for colonoscopy/endoscopy) however, my GP thinks its all being caused by depression/anxiety- I too purchased the Panic Attacks Workbook by David Carbonell, Ph.D. and I have learned a lot from it- but for me, I also was prescribed an antidepressant. I got an anxiety attack the day before I was going to start on them because just the thought of having to go on meds was nerve wracking.

301640 tn?1302652334 Depression especially, can be a life long issue, it can be a chemical imbalance, it's absolutely nothing you did wrong. The most important thing is that you get stable. Usually, but not always, the anxiety drops when the depression is lifted. I do recommend you get counselling and get hooked up with a psychiatrist if you haven't already done so. Finding the right course of meds takes a bit, but you can feel better.
Avatar m tn Once you agree to participate, we will send you an electronic copy of the workbook.

Avatar m tn When I say issues I mean I just still have certain things that cause anxiety, or I still have some ocd things like someone tapping makes me explode, I can't read a magazine without re reading the last few words on each page about five times by turning the page, turning it back and reading the last words and do that five times or so. I still have to check and re check locks and stuff. And I have recently read that the dosage should be higher for ocd.
1539037 tn?1294318628 I agree. Try and find different books that you think will help you. There is an Anxiety and Panic workbook and there are amazing books by Jon Kabat-Zinn on Mindfulness. Its a powerful tool that can really help you learn to focus your find. Right now I am reading the Mindfulness Code and its a great book as well. Hope you find something that works soon.
Avatar f tn Neck soreness is a very common anxiety symptom, but not the throat problem. When you say always, for how long are you talking about? If you have had a sore throat for a while, you should see your doctor. As for natural remedies, it depends on for what. You need a diagnosis to treat with natural medicine just as you do with allopathic medicine.
Avatar m tn also that you are elimitating stress factors i your life. There is a good book called...The anxiety/phobia workbook. You can purchase this online. Exsercise, no alcohol, fiber, fruit, meditation, and start to pick your priorities. Time to be good to you. IBS ad anxiety go hand in hand.
1348086 tn?1370783185 A great resource for me was The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook. So many things (like driving, flying) would have me worried way in advance. It helps to make a list a list of your specific worries...like becoming anxious when driving. If you become anxious, what will happen. If you are like me, I think of the worst, but realistically, its just symptoms you will feel. You can always pull over and do some deep breathing and correct your thoughts (realistic thinking).
Avatar f tn So I'm 22, experienced anxiety at the age of 17 or 18 when I got my ex fired from a job. So lately every time I watch a scary movie my anxiety goes off the wall of me going to get possessed which leads my anxiety to going crazy.
Avatar m tn As for the anxiety, try the book by Edmund Bourne, PhD called The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook. It sounds like you might tend towards anxiety and may even be prone to panic. The workbook greatly helps. If the anxiety is interfering with sleep or if concentration is suffering so that you are less productive, seek help with an MD. Definitely try the workbook over having an MD label you with a psych diagnosis though because such diagnoses interfere with your self esteem and opportunities.
Avatar f tn I'm so sorry others are going through this. In many ways, it is a living hell. I use a variety of tools to deal with my health anxiety: Medication, therapy, yoga, meditation, and I also use a workbook called "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook". I doing exercises and read from it everyday. Right now, it is a day to day battle. Some days I almost feel like my old self, but other days are really bad.
Avatar n tn t exist where you are there are a lot of books out there that teach it. One long-time book is called the Anxiety and Phobia Workbook or something like that -- it has the name Workbook in it and has been out for many years and revised several times. But there are many. There are also programs offered on the internet by supposed CBT specialists, but it's always hard to vouch for anything found solely on the internet. But if that's all you have, it might be worth a try.
Avatar f tn And there are a bunch of books on CBT -- there's one called something like the Anxiety Workbook or something like that. Also one called, ironically enough, Don't Panic. A bunch of them.
Avatar f tn One of the most useful techniques for dealing with anxiety is the ability to think about your anxiety and understand if your worries are rational or irrational. One thing that jumps out is the language you used in writing your message; you most certainly did not almost have a heart attack from the anxiety- you had an anxiety attack, which is not a life-threatening event, although it sure does feel that way! Panic attacks are the brain's way of getting your undivided attention.
