The Big Question”Is Anxiety Inherited”
Could it assist a few of us if we had the answer to this question “is anxiety inherited”?
I’m not positive. It may help us come to terms with the fact that we suffer with anxiety.
Have you looked at your family history, parents, grandparents and maybe even further back? Or have you grown up with a family member suffering from anxiety?
My mother suffered fairly badly with anxiety, chiefly when she was going all through the change.
Her anxiety triggered her to become house bound, resulting in her leaving her job on health grounds.
I don’t recollect looking back at my younger days my mum suffering with anxiety. But she did. Just because I cannot recall it. It does not denote that I did not pick up on it.
The predicament for me is, that since she was suffering with anxiety, I may well of picked up that learnt behaviour, without truly knowing what it was.
So back to the big question “is anxiety inherited”, well it may not of been in my actual genes, but I could of learnt the anxiety behaviour from my mum.
I have had some great debates with friends on this subject.
Like how come I have anxiety and my three brothers and my sister do not suffer with anxiety. For sure that would confirm that anxiety is not inherited. Although on the other hand I have to have learnt it from somebody?
My anxiety has been labelled as “free floating anxiety”, so I do not know what I get anxious around, but I do know I have anxiety. So understandably I must have learnt that behaviour from somewhere.
The reason this is so key to me is, I if I learnt this behaviour, then I can work on learning a fresh way of becoming. I can work on the reality that this is the behaviour of my Mother and not me. It was something that I picked up while I was growing up. It does not belong to me; I borrowed it from my Mum. I did not appreciate what I was picking up on. But I picked up on the anxiety my mum was suffering from and stored it away ready for the right conditions to manifest in my life for it to happen and be part of my life.
For me “is anxiety inherited”, yes, as a learnt behaviour, not as something that is permanent in my life.
Among all the useful medical treatment presented, it will be of great value to you to achieve ways in coping with panic and anxiety.
The basis i suggest that you achieve ways for coping with panic and anxiety attacks is because, you will be able to cut off impending attacks. That’s why, it is a help to learn and know these practical methods.
One useful way in handling panic and anxiety attacks is relaxation techniques that can be used to help you in muscle relaxation, meditation, relaxed breathing and visualization, also known as guided imagery. The aim is to obtain inner realization of calmness. This is true relaxation.
Equally the body and the mind have to be in a calm stress-free state when using relaxation techniques to handle these attacks. And learning real relaxation techniques could aid in managing warning signs such as teeth clenching, headaches, and hyperventilation. To initiate your body into relaxed style, start off by focusing on the body and suppressing the outside world. Place yourself in a relaxing position and relax your eyes. Just keep the eyelids at ease and heavy without closing them firmly, and allow your jaw to relax and fall gently open. Commence the relaxation method by focusing on scanning your body mentally.
Begin scanning from the lower parts of your body, starting from the toes, working your way up to the legs, groins, torso, then the hands, fingers, then finally, the neck and head. See in your mind’s eye your tension dissolving away as you concentrate on each body parts. Once all the muscles in your body are stress-free, tighten the muscles in every part, moving from one section to another and count to five or more in each section, then relax your muscles. As you are doing this, permit your way of thinking to surge all the way through your psyche, without focusing on them. It is tricky at times to do this. Say to yourself that you are perfectly calm and at ease. Picture yourself in your own favoured place and begin breathing slowly.
Carry out this method daily for five to ten minutes. It will assist in coping with panic and anxiety. Additional different ways to handle panic and anxiety attacks is not to think what could occur. Keep on telling yourself over and over, that it is your thoughts that have produced this panic and anxiety attack. Your thoughts have manifested these bodily reaction, so it stands to reason that you can change those thoughts.
Finally the best way for coping with panic and anxiety is not to struggle it. The more you battle, the more powerful the attack. From my own individual experience i can tell you that it does work. The more you fight your thoughts of panic, the stronger you are making them. Just let the panic and anxiety attacks wash over you.
