There are basically 6 reasons why alcohol consumption and hangovers make many people anxious and I'm going tell you what they are. I want to share this with you so that you can be more informed and avoid becoming alcohol's punching bag. Ever since I became sick with nervous illness I've heard a lot of people say that anxiety sufferers should not drink alcohol because it makes you more nervous than you already are. I've always found this to be ironic because there are so many anxiety sufferers that drink alcohol to cope with their anxiety,

I was recently digging around in my blog's statistical data and found some interesting information. It appears that the # 1 topic sought on this site is related to chest pain. This kind of makes sense since having chest pains for any reason can be unsettling. It's far and away the most read thing here. So, instead of diving into a more serious article about this (like I did here) I'll just add some basic insight. Let's see, ah yes chest pain. Well, if your chest pain is related to anxiety don't worry because you're not going to die. I mean

anxiety symptoms

Being anxious is one thing, but thinking that you're about to die because of your anxiety is a different sport altogether. The "normal" person will experience anxiety and shrug it off. Anxiety sufferers on the other hand, tend to wallow in their anxiety because it's often accompanied by ten thousand symptoms that make an anxious person think death is imminent. Although I'm skeptical that anxiety disorders are curable, I do believe they are manageable. One of the most important things that an anxious person can do to manage their nerves is

Does Having Anxiety Mean That The Party Is Over?

So there you are - its Saturday night and your ready for the night life, a movie or something that smacks of sociability when you remember, "oh yea I have anxiety so I can't go anywhere". Well to be honest that's me talking to myself but you may have done this yourself a few times. You just assume that you will either not have a good time, freak out, or want to leave early so what's the point. This, I think, is such a sad mindset. I admit I can't drink alcohol anymore because it brings out the nerves but I still enjoy the company of others

One of the most common fears of anxiety sufferers is being stuck in a huge crowd. There is just something unsettling about being surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of people. This fear however is normal and its also something that affects all people in some way. It just so happens that when you have anxiety the affect can be more severe. With the holiday season in full swing it is more likely than at any other time of year to find yourself in a people storm. Whether it's shopping, visiting family, visiting a theme park, or even

Holiday Anxiety

When most people think of the holiday season they think about Christmas gifts, food, and lights but when you have an anxiety disorder you might be focused on your nerves instead. We've all heard of people getting the holiday blues, but what about holiday nerves? The holidays unfortunately can present an anxious person a lot of potentially panic causing events. Crowded stores, visiting friends and relatives, travel, the coming of a new year, even shorter days can all be enough to get you down. This past thanksgiving I visited my parent's

In response to my call for help I received a great topic idea from one of my readers. The topic is exercise induced anxiety and whether or not lightheadedness and dizziness are caused by anxiety while exercising or is there something else going on? If you have spent any time reading this blog or any other online resource about anxiety disorders then you know one of the most common bits of advice given to anxiety sufferers is that they exercise. Sometimes though even something as positive and good for you as exercise can cause problems. So
