Our innate desire is to be happy, and when we move away from it, we experience fear.This fear is actually millions of years old, for it arises from the biological programming of our species.While we may not have to contend with a sabre-toothed tiger on any given day, we still use those very reactions to deal with events looming ahead.We think, "Will I be fired for making that mistake at work?" or "Will I be able to meet the mortgage after I fix the car?" or "Will my health continue to decline?" or "Will my relationship fall apart after that argument we just fell into?"Running questions with this type of urgency and helplessness trains our brains to prepare now for future danger by loading our bodies up with the stress hormone cortisol.Anxiety is our anticipation of a dangerous future. We imagine having even less of the little that we have today.
This anxiety does not help us in any way to meet the future any better. In fact, it weakens and exhausts us. We usually worry most about things that we can't even control. Worrying about your dental visit, for example, will not make the visit better.Anxiety, in fact, is a silent killer. It is enervating, and it drains you of purpose and hope, faith and initiative. It fogs up your thinking. And it makes the body susceptible to illness.When anxiety--a fear of an event in the future--is high enough then you feel a deep sense of helplessness. This, in turn, translates into depression. You even begin to view the past as disappointing.
In order to feel more calm though, there are some remedies that are herbal that have been a great help to a lot of individuals. Some remedies like Passionflower can be ingested in a variety of ways, which produce a feeling of relaxation for many people. Some herbs even help with insomnia and stomach problems which can flare up during times of acute stress.You have to be careful when you take herbs or supplements like these though, because they can cause some unwanted side-effects. As with any medication, always consult your doctor before taking anything new to be on the safe side.As an anxiety sufferer, you have a few things that you can do that can do to try to get through your anxiety without becoming dependent on some pill that you end up becoming addicted to, which never helped you in the first place.As a Homeopath, I deal with a large number of clients (adults and children) suffering from anxiety.

An interesting thing happened when I made my unconscious behavior conscious. I could not take my mood shifts seriously.This is what I learned from that experience: when you are able to observe yourself over the course of a few weeks, you develop a curious detachment.A paradoxical situation developed for me: I found it difficult to stay anxious and depressed when I was observing myself feeling anxious and depressed.Ultimately, anxiety and depression are culturally-induced patterns of thinking that can be overcome through a deliberate cultivation of awareness.

Choosing a natural method and avoiding prescription medication that could have side effects is the preferred first choice when diagnosing and treating anxiety symptoms.
Medicine-Based Anxiety Treatment.Many people who are suffering from anxiety disorders rely on drugs or medications in order to help them function and perform their regular daily activities. Of course, the main goal of the medical treatment is to try and eliminate the anxiety disorder. These drugs would also try to help reduce the symptoms and recurrences of these anxiety disorders. These are some of the common drugs used in anxiety treatment:SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) - This class of drug helps to inhibit or block the reuptake (or reabsorption) of serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical in the brain that functions to regulate the mood as well as anxiety. SSRIs are the first drug of choice for some anxiety disorders. Examples of SSRIs include two well known brands, Prozac and Zoloft.
Benzodiazepines - These are drugs that are quite effective in relaxing and calming people. This anxiety treatment helps reduce many physical symptoms of anxiety disorders. Benzodiazepines, however, are only used short-term because prolonged use may cause problems with tolerance as well as dependence on the drug.Tricyclic Antidepressants - These are effective anxiety treatment and are preferred for long term use as opposed to benzodiazepines.People should exercise caution when taking these drugs because all of them have side effects that can be quite dangerous to one's health so they must be prescribed by someone certified and their effects and side effects must be explained thoroughly to patients taking them.

Fear of fear itself! As stated earlier, our perception is the key to this. Any feeling we experience, good or bad, is not created by our experience in that moment. The meaning we place on that experience creates the feeling. This is where our power lies. One way of gradually chipping away at anxiety is to be aware of and challenge our thoughts.
