Dealing with Anxiety - Ps Hilda Samuel

All of us are prone to be anxious. Being Anxious is an emotion /feeling of showing worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome.
Emotions such as anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, anger and others are found in the soul area of the human psyche. (The soul is comprised of the mind/emotions and will)
We may feel anxious before an important event like a job interview, presentation, or moving to a new place. When your anxious feelings do not go away after an event has ended, or when you don’t know the reason for feeling anxious, you may be having an anxiety disorder.
In some cases anxiousness accelerates into Anxiety. Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried. Stress and anxious feelings are a common response to a situation where we feel under pressure or overwhelmed. Anxiety is when it becomes an intense, excessive and a persistent worry and fear about everyday situations.

The spirit of anxiety is a bondage spirit and the Holy Spirit has revealed that it wraps itself around the spinal cord and has control over your central nervous system. The spinal cord is central to the functions of the entire nervous system. The spirit of anxiety works hand in hand with other spirits such as fear, stress, depression and nervousness.

The root of all fear, anxiety, and worry is an orphan spirit (Rejection) and it is usually demonstrated with emotions such as:
• Anxiety: emotional symptoms
• Worrying
• Nervous
• Fearfulness
• Inability to think clearly
• Having trouble focussing
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Feeling traumatised

The physical symptoms of anxiety are:
• Sweating
• Trembling
• Nausea
• Insomnia
• Restless
• Rapid breathing
• Upset stomach

In order to overcome anxiety, we must know what the root causes are. They could be due to:
• Stressful time at work
• Changing jobs
• Relationship problems
• Financial worries
• Grieving the loss of a loved one
• Trauma
• A major life event
• Abuse
• Living with mental illness /chronic illness (e.g. diabetes)
• Rejection (Rejection and Anxiety combined can be serious)
• Generational
• Substance use (Drugs & Alcohol)

The most common causes of anxiety are stress, trauma and being abandoned or rejected at some stage.
Stressors start you off worrying or getting anxious. A Stressor is basically anything that causes the release of stress hormones which impacts our behaviour, mood and life.

A stressor can be:
Physiological: whereby the stressor is a physical factor like pain, chemicals and drugs, illness, intense heat or cold, physical discomfort, etc.
Psychological: whereby something is perceived as threatening or difficult, like heavy traffic, a painful family get-together, work deadlines, money problems, etc.

Both Physiological and Psychological stressors can start processes in the brain and body to produce the stress response such as an increase in the heart rate, sweating, restlessness, etc. and the person often tends to get overwhelmed in searching or looking for safety.

Depression very often goes hand in hand with anxiety. The word depression according to the dictionary means severe, typically prolonged feelings of despondency and dejection, sadness and loss of interest. Anxiety disorder is usually used to describe a disorder that manifests as nervousness, fear and panic attacks.

In extreme cases when a person goes from being anxious to having anxiety, if this is not dealt with, it can accelerate into severe anxiety disorders.

Several types of anxiety disorders exist:
Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and often avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed.
Anxiety disorder: this is due to a medical condition and includes symptoms of intense anxiety or panic that are directly caused by a physical health problem.
Generalized anxiety disorder includes persistent and excessive anxiety and worry about activities or events . The worry is out of proportion to the actual circumstance, is difficult to control and affects how you feel physically. It often occurs along with depression.
Panic disorder involves repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks). You may have feelings of impending doom, shortness of breath, chest pain, or a rapid, fluttering or pounding heart (heart palpitations).
Selective mutism is a consistent failure of children to speak in certain situations, such as school, even when they can speak in other situations, such as at home with close family members. This can interfere with school, work and social functioning.
Separation anxiety disorder is a childhood disorder characterized by anxiety that's excessive for the child's developmental level and related to separation from parents or others who have parental roles.
Social anxiety disorder (social phobia) involves high levels of anxiety, fear and avoidance of social situations due to feelings of embarrassment, self-consciousness and concern about being judged or viewed negatively by others.
Specific phobias are characterized by major anxiety when you're exposed to a specific object or situation and a desire to avoid it. Phobias provoke panic attacks in some people.
Substance-induced anxiety disorder is characterized by symptoms of intense anxiety or panic that are a direct result of misusing drugs, taking medications, being exposed to a toxic substance or withdrawal from drugs.

There are other specified and unspecified anxiety disorders or phobias that don't meet the above criteria but are significant enough to be distressing and disruptive.

Try these when you're feeling anxious or stressed:
• Take a time-out. .
• Eat well-balanced meals.
• Limit alcohol and caffeine, which can aggravate anxiety and trigger panic attacks.
• Get enough sleep.
• Exercise daily
• Take deep breaths.
• Count to 10 slowly. ...
• See your doctor

But the best cure is when it is dealt with at the root in the soul. God has a way when there is no other way:
2 Timothy 1:7 says, For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. 1Peter 5:7 says, Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you. Psalm 46:10 says, God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

God gives you the courage to change the things you can, Grace to accept the things you can’t and wisdom to know the difference.

Emotional or Inner Healing, Gods word, Prayer & Deliverance will set you free and give you peace that passes all understanding.
• Emotional healing involves the integration of the fragmented parts of our soul to be surrendered to Jesus Christ ( Isaiah 53:5 ): Journey with an intercessor to understand past experiences, apply the blood of Jesus Christ, claim the Healing balm, invite the Holy Spirit and Resurrection power that raised Jesus Christ to power and victory to resolve it fully. With emotional healing, the past traumatic experience will no longer control our thoughts, feelings and emotions
• Claim & meditate on God’s word: Soul food and medication.
