Several members of my family have gone through similar situations. Sometimes there is a trigger, sometimes not. In all cases, getting enough rest, a good diet and increase of exercise helped. Sometimes in order to get the rest they needed a prescription. Ask your Dr. We're there for you bud. |

I've dealt with chronic anxiety my whole life. The two biggest things that have helped me are: 1) Exercise, specifically weightlifting. I find that even 15 minutes of weightlifting can have a profound impact on my mood and reduction in stress the next day. It also helps tremendously with sleep. 2) Writing in a journal. Every night when I go to bed, I write down whatever is on my mind. For whatever reason, transferring the thoughts in my head to paper help lessen them somewhat. I find I have a much easier time getting to sleep if I write stuff down beforehand. Good luck and hope you feel better. Anxiety sucks. |

Don't worry about worrying so much. Ever seen a squirrel? Ever wonder how something that puny survives in this world? Pay closer attention.... that poor thing is nervous as hell and this is what keeps it alive. Anxiety is natural and healthy, it's a defense mechanism. Just remember that you are in control of it and not the other way around. Make it work for you. |

In fact, its quite the opposite. A Squirrels motion is not indicative of its internal mental / emotional state. The reason why Squirrel moves quickly, because its light as a feather. It has a body that is based on quick-twitch muscle fibers.. rather than of high-strength.. but slower.. fibers. The same is true of smaller birds. Where as some of the larger birds, move a bit more graduated / smooth. (It might also have a faster heart beat, as well as a very efficient brain to response ratio... where as humans, may have a more delayed visual data to brain translation process) You can see the same thing, when you compare the speed and acceleration of other smaller / larger animals. A small house cat.. is far more twitchy / fast.. than a Large lion, tiger..etc. Its not typically natural to us.. but with intense and specialized training.. we can develop lightning fast-twitch movements / responses. We will never be as quick as a lightweight squirrel, but, we can achieve some blindingly fast kicks, punches, grabs, slight-of-hand, and wicked dance moves... ;) |
