Humberto,   Good Evening and welcome to HealingWell. I have a 30 year history of anxiety but I have lived many good years without anxiety taking over.   I also have major depressive disorder and PTSD.   Everyone suffers from anxiety, but for some, anxiety can become a lifelong disorder that impairs one's ability to function socially. Chronic anxiety can result in social phobia or the inability to talk with and interact with others. It is crucial that  you understand what anxiety is, and learn helpful methods for reducing anxiety so you can lead a comfortable and happy life. Everyone experiences anxiety in different ways. Recognizing the ways your body responds to stress will help you identify how  best to treat  your anxiety. Anxiety can be chronic or acute. Acute anxiety typically results when someone faces a fearful or unexpected event, like giving a speech. Typically relaxation techniques like deep breathing and meditation are helpful for relieving short bouts of anxiety. If you do suffer from anxiety, you should contact your doctor, but also make a point to get in touch with other people that suffer from anxiety. You can also build a personal support team to help you through difficult times. Online support groups like HW are dedicated to patients with anxiety and related mental health disorders. With proper care and treatment, you can overcome anxiety and lead a happy, healthy life. Make sure you take positive steps to change your health today. Do check out the many resources found at the top of this page as the information is top notch.  CBT ( Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is very popular and there is a free online version of the study that you can join and work from your computer at home.
