How does anxiety wear us down?

All emotions are useful in their right and necessary degree, and therefore, they are positive. Anxiety is often considered a negative emotion, although in reality this way of categorizing it belongs to the psychiatric field. Anxiety is simply a mode of fear that has become widespread. You have become used to living in fear, as in a constant state of alert.

Fear is positive if you manage it in a functional way. A functional fear helps you protect your life and that of others. Anxiety, on the other hand, as is the case with high stress, has no positive function. Anxiety is having learned to live in fear of everything, in constant worry and anticipation of problems or situations that do not have to exist.

How is anxiety generated?

First of all, it is important to emphasize that we live in a very complicated time in relation to anxiety. The current pandemic we are experiencing and the processes of confinement have caused psychological and emotional havoc in the population, which has increased the number of cases with anxiety. However, the most worrying thing is not this, but the number of cases of people receiving anxiety medication when it was not strictly necessary (Rather, that problem could be solved and prevented by learning to understand and manage that anxiety and fears).

The administration of drugs is a very delicate matter that in the long term can make it difficult to solve the problem.

To do?

Anxiety is a generalized state of fear, and the biggest mistake we can make is to associate it with sadness, discouragement or depression. The reason why a diagnosis is made according to an "anxious-depressive" picture is because anxiety leads to depression, not because they are the same. Treating such a generalization from a pharmacological point of view may be necessary if the case is acute, but dangerous and limiting in the vast majority of cases.

We get depressed because we get tired of being anxious. And we are anxious because we breathe in a diaphragmatic way, in constant alert and observation. Learn to breathe, understand situations, know how to understand where the precipitating emotions of the problem come from, how you are managing them, and above all, how you can learn to understand and manage them so that instead of being against you they are at your please, is the main way for anxiety to be just a fleeting and unpleasant experience rather than a permanent or frequent state in your lifetime.
