A look at anxiety in its many forms and manifestations; what is the nature of this specific pattern of extreme fear and worry?
The Day I Had My First Anxiety Attack
Anxiety attacks are no laughing matter especially when they are caused by high volumes of stress. I never thought I would ever experience this but one day it hit me so hard that I literally thought that I was going to die. It all started about eight years ago, when I was working as a marketing associate for a health insurance company. The job wasn’t too hard but the hours seemed long and tedious when you wore a headset and was hooked to an auto-dialer cold calling senior citizens to persuade them in changing or adding a Medicare Advantage plan to their current insurance policy.

Breathing to Help You Deal With Anxiety
At the root core of meditation is the control of your breathing, hence your mind is relaxed and your spirit renewed. But it doesn't always come that easily, because you are unfortunately preforming your breathing in an irregular fashion. In fact, the very way you breathe stipulates much about your mental and physical states, seen most acutely in exercising. Weight trainers always stress the importance of controlled breathing, because not only does it help stimulate your muscles, it also keeps your mind on the prize.

PTSD vs Scientology
In order to know, really know, my story, I would have to take you back nine years, to the beginning of my military career. However, I won’t bore you with the intricacies of my history. Instead, I will give you the information that I believe is relevant to what led to my first visit at a Church of Scientology.

How to Use Tapping for Anxiety
Have you ever heard of tapping for anxiety? Well, if you haven't it's a simple way to curb your anxiety while costing you nothing out of pocket. It's also known as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), where you tap gently on different parts of the body with your fingertips while you repeat a phrase out loud and pay attention to your emotions.

Open Letter to My Anxiety
Dear Anxiety, You have been with me through thick and thin. Always by my side since day one. You hover close by on my good days and wrap me in your presence on bad days. I understand that you think you are trying to help me cope with the craziness of this world but I’m starting to feel smothered. I don’t need this constant attention and interference in my life. So from this day on, you are no longer going to control my decisions.

Coping with Anxiety
Anxiety comes in many shapes and forms. People experience it differently, so what works for me may not work for everyone. But I felt compelled to share some of the things that have worked for me over the past two years since I've received my diagnosis of social anxiety.
