There are many different way in which people tell you about how you can control your anxiety. Some just say to you stop worrying where they themselves dont understand what it like and know the difference between worry and anxiety.

However with Everyone with anxiety is different, it may be the same mental illness but it effect everyone differently. For me I do admit i have controlled medication that I am on and My goal for myself is to become non reliant on them by the time I finish university and use psychological methods to help me. I’m going to give you in this post two different methods in which I use.

1. Train yourself to respond to NOT. In this Way:

N: Notice you have a thought.

O: observe and review the Thought.

T: The take whatever action you deem beneficial.

this method can give you a moment to stop and think about what you are feeling and if you are starting to panic give you chance for you mind to calm down and have a chance to think of a clearer and better way to handle the situation.

2.         Breathe and tell yourself why you’re being stupid
then look around name 3 things you see
take a deep breath,
3 things you hear or have heard today
take a deep breath
3 things you feel or want to

This will have a chance for you to think about the surroundings and get yourself out of your own head and bring yourself back into reality/ situation.

These both help me so much in times of need and i feel like that this will help you as well.

PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC!!!

something that people do to often with whatever situation they are in. i’ve sat and panic about the slightest little thing little things. Anything that i think is going to affect me and make me feel angry, sad, frustrated. There has been times at university where work is one of the things that I have panicked about. weather it was a dead line or a group task or something out of university that have been on my mind and caused me to feel this way and then not to concentrate on what is happening in front of me.

Some people think that people who panic over something that is really small is the they are just wanting to get attention. Sometimes this is what people want and by doing this they are causing the stereotype. Which you can say affect other people who are generally panicking about something and trying not to make it to ovuse. For these people it is hard for them to try and control this feeling and is causing them to think they are being judged. I have felt like this in many different situation where I feel that I need to be locked away in a room to try and control myself.

For people who have panic attacks or panic about things can find it very hard to open up to people. they can find that there is on person they can talk to however at scared for be judged and the create panic. For people that are trying to open up to you; the benefit is that you are able to understand what they are trying to say and taking the time to listen can give them the sense of relief as they have let out everything that is inside is out. For me I have people that I feel that talking to can help me feel better and there people that i feel that if i said anything too they would hold it against me so make sure you find the right person.

I can understand sometimes that it is hard to get in the places of your emotion and that some concor other and that you feeling like you can be stuck in a void. Many of time have I felt like this quote above and just wanted to run and hid away from the world. This has been with my own personal life and also my assignments. With group work weather you be with 4 or 14 people. You can find that there is a case where people and their personalities get in the way and that you find it hard to control what you feel towards them. if you have read my about page I study and the University of lincoln – United Kingdom (NOT AMERICA)  and i am doing my Media production degree. for my first year in university I was in a group with 14 people for an assignment. For me i like working in groups but i have never experienced anything like this.

For the assignment I was the producer for the show. With a producer role you are considered the highest role apart from the executive producer. with the producer what is happening in the show and what is being spent with money wise and what is happening with the timing of the production has to be agreed with the producer. Well…… within my group there was a lot of big personalities which is great to get amazing ideas and to have a bigger then life show. However when i came to decision making it was difficult to get anything done and planned as they would see it as more of a social and that they are the only people that should be heard. I mean everyone should have there say and that for these assignments should be FUN !!

However there is the point where you have to remember that there is work to be done, and once you have had it done and completed )The paper work and planning) you are able to have fun with what you are doing and enjoy the experience.I would say that this was all there fault my group did do a really good job when we adventurously pulled it all together and we creative a successful TV show.

with me as produce I feel that i did a good job as a producer however i do fell that with my emotions i could have handled the pressure and the environment better. I did go through some hard time and for myself I did become very ill with everything. My anxiety and Depression got really bad cause to trigger other illnesses that i didn’t even know i had.for me i felt that i was very weak as a person and a producer and that i should have taken care of myself more then anything.

what i want you guys to understand that. yes group work can get hard and it can cause you to feel angry, sad and weak at times but you can make yourself stronger with getting hold of yourself and saying. You know what i am better then this im stronger i can take on this challenge and not feel useless and that you can take control even with the dark voice inside you head saying that you should give up.
