Describe what situations can cause you anxiety.

There are several situations that make me anxious but I will just list a few number of them.

Firstly i do have society anxiety,when am in a public gatherings or work seminar and am ask to give speech or small talk which I didn't prepare for, I will become anxious and scared like what if I don't present my speech very well, at that point I will just have stage fright and sometimes I forget what I want to say and start saying something else, funny enough I'm a very confident person but it most happen when am I a strange gathering, once I begin talking I will gain my confidence back.

Secondly I do have anxiety as a result of negative life event, there are so many negative event that as affected us emotionally and scatter our sense of been secured or well being in general for example Abuse maybe when the person is intimidated, sexual harassment, when someone is bully, discrimination, Accident like car, fire etc.. Also Excessive workload makes me anxious,Stress, Divorce cases in marriage (this marriage issues make me Anxious like what is marriage all about, fear of marrying wrong etc).

Lastly I do have anxiety when I hear a bad news about something or someone and also I have anxiety due to societal pressure, the feeling of creating standard, working on physical appearance because society feel like you are too fat or too slim 🤦 fear of not excelling in your job or fear of failing.

How do you deal with this feeling?

For me when am anxious and it's stressing me out, I do talk to close friends about it, I will hear their response to the situation I told them, if it's positive I will take it and apply it but if not negative I will discard it.

Also I commit the issue to God because I can't solve everything,I need his help on daily basis to achieve alot.

Some tips to avoid suffering from anxiety.

Good sleep:- when I start worrying about life, especially marriage because the pressure is much on my end, what I always do is that I sleep over it, like I will just relax my nerves because even if I worry and been anxious nothing will come out from it, instead it will produce more sleepless nights and most likely lead to depression.

Stay away from procrastination:- I always make sure I get things done at the right time to avoid last minute rush that will result to anxiety and stress.

Good music:- When am stressed I love listening to music because it gives me a positive feeling, it makes me happy and give a productive works.

Meditation:- I always make sure I give myself mindful meditation, I proclaim and affirm positive things to my life even when anxiety is painting the wrong picture.
