Common Questions and Answers about Anxiety management cbt
anxiety
Symptoms of anxiety and panicky feelings are very disturbing, and unfortunately anxiety is prone to worsen/become more ingrained with time if not treated/sorted out.
Hypno Therapy can be helpful to some people, as well as NLP(Neuro Linguistic Programming),but not to all. CBT(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) can be very effective, and there are therapists(psychologists or psychiatrists) whom are trained in this particular method/branch of psychological approaches.
i have been put on seroquel for long term management of terrible anxiety, it works very well for me and doesnt have the tolerance and withdrawal issues of benzos. having said that what works for one person may not work for the next. also do you have acsess to anyone that can teach you CBT, its a really helpful non drug tool.
I think what needhelp4me434 meant was that there is an underlying issue as to why you are having these anxiety attacks that need to be addressed, and that the medication you are on only helps take away the symptoms, and that you have to play a part in recovering from and eliminating them. This is where things like therapy, CBT, exercise, proper diet and stress management come in...
It can help, but whether it can help alone really depends on what your social anxiety is like. So, what is it like?
It also depends on the CBT that you are learning. My first CBT instructor,who also is a therapist with an MFT credential, really helped me out with her type of CBT, which was very practical and deceivingly more in-depth than her steps suggested.
I need help, I suffer from anxiety and I take 20mg citalopram. I had a good job my life was ok but now I can't go out I worry about little things like someone is following me, I can't shake anyone's hand or be next to them incase I might catch something, I hear voices in my head to kill myself but I would never do that. I just want to be normal.

For me, anxiety can have a dramatic effect on ectopic heartbeats. I experience SVT, PVC's, and skipped beats. All get worse when I am anxious. If you think about them all the time, I suggest you immediately have the CBT. It certainly will not hurt but can only help.
Of course, I am assuming your ectopic heartbeats are benign. If not, I would get checked out by a cardiologist.
hi CBT helps a lot with anxiety, it helps you realise that anxiety can actually cause these palpatations etc anxiety is one big circle and CBT helps you break the circle cause once its broken you`ve cracked it, my therapist didn really ask about my past although bits of it did come out, they help you understand more about anxiety.
What kind of therapy are you doing? Is it CBT? I've never had that kind of therapy myself but I've heard from many people that it really does help.
Anxiety and depression frequently cause insomnia. All the symptoms you mention are quite common for these disorders and drinking alcohol only makes matters worse. Insomnia was one of the major symptoms of my anxiety and depression. I too would wake up in the middle of the night with panic attacks and life became a living hell.
The suggestions given by the earlier posters should be given serious consideration, especially the CBT.
As far as the thoughts go, they can TOTALLY be a byproduct of anxiety. Some people with anxiety - depending on the type of anxiety - do get intrusive thoughts of that nature (hurting themselves/others) and some of them get intrusive thoughts that are very much "what if something bad happens to me?" I get the second type, the what ifs, but it sounds like you're dealing with both. I'm so sorry! CBT can be really helpful in learning how to cope with these.
Even though I take medication, Wellbutrin, I do still have some panic attacks which I use CBT on...wondering if it is the same as me.
