This is something common when you face suicide. People down on their luck will tell you that it is impossible to overcome anxiety, that’s true. But there’s hope. It’s not about overcoming it, because it’s not the problem; you need to be one with it. Here’s a better explanation:
Do you ever wonder if you really have anxiety, because it doesn’t come when you expect it. It’s reasonable now in a scientific generation to attribute every problem to something in the body. While there is truth to it, the people-created doctrine of an all-powerful subconscious appears false. The amygdala may be the origin of fears but there’s no sure way of knowing what is going on inside that area of the brain.
For those who’ve spent time worrying and struggling with anxiety, there are 2 things to realize. 1. The source of fear is perception. 2. The source of perception is in the conscious.
You can put aside fear once you learn to perceive it as not being an obstacle. Anxiety is a wrecking ball and takes superhuman strength to get yourself on the calm path again. The best way of fighting anxiety is to understand “queues” as few people call them lol. These are precursors that let you know that your body is ready to face a task. These queues include raised heartbeat, sweating, dryness or generally the symptoms of nervousness. Now here is where the anxious mind gets it wrong; the moment you experience this you think “Well am already going to fail because I’m afraid” but in reality you are preparing to tackle a heavy task and your body is simply getting ready. Anxiety is supposed to be helpful, and you need to start treating it that way. Anxiety isn’t going to be “accurate about your situation” 95% of the time, but it’s good to know it’s there when you need it, right? Besides, it is simply going on what you tell it [perception remember].
If humans never became afraid, they would die sooner than expected. There would be no way for humanity to gauze the danger of a situation without it.
Here’s what to take away from this… Learn to embrace your body and its “queues”. This way you realize that the less you fight what your body is supposed to do, the more you can focus on the task at hand.
