Do I Have an Anxiety Disorder?
By Raymond

We all feel anxious from time to time, but lately we have all been feeling
anxious a lot more. Of course, you could justify your anxiety by looking at
the state of the world. The economy is slumping, the dollar is falling, oil
prices are rising, food prices are rising, the weather is getting worse
everywhere. There are millions of reasons to be anxious in todays world, but
could it be something worse? Do I have an anxiety disorder?
The word Disorder in itself is enough to make you anxious. Words have a lot
of power and often the word disorder implies something terribly wrong.
Disorder itself is defined as a condition in which there is a disturbance of
normal functioning. It sounds very clinical but the definition itself gives
us the answer to deal with Anxiety!
Our biggest anxiety is that the anxiety itself is abnormal, strange, or
possibly even insane. When saddled with the label 'disorder' we suddenly
start to think of ourselves differently, act differently, and even become
more anxious about what was once very simple. Without even realizing it we
create more anxiety about our anxiety. This is what I call the downward
spiral and it is not fun. There is only one way out.
Choice. If you read the last paragraph carefully you will see that we are
choosing to think differently about ourselves. As soon as we decide there
are reasons to be anxious, we become anxious. As hard as it might be to
believe, your anxiety attacks start hours before you have them. They start
when you start becoming afraid of having an anxiety attack, when you become
afraid of being anxious around others, and even when you tell yourself that
its hard to get over your anxiety.
Remember that Anxiety is NOT a disturbance of normal function. Anxiety is
quite normal. The beast your fighting gets bigger every time you decide its
bigger. Stop taking it seriously, stop fearing your own fear, and the beast
disappears forever.
Anxiety is the consequence of not adapting to Change properly. Relax and let
change happen. Visit [http://onebeing.info/meditation.html]Stress Relief
