What keeps your anxiety going? 

Hi I am Andrea Smith - at Hypnotherapy in Surrey. I help people who struggle with anxiety, negativity, want to give up smoking, lose weight to break bad habits fast so they can live the life they want.
I had to go to the doctors today for a routine check-up and sat near a young lady with her 3year old. She was dishevelled, had a bit of an odour about her, tripping over her words, shaking with stressful thoughts. We started chatting and she started to tell me why she was there. She was 24 years, lovely husband lovely life but struggled with health anxiety- fearful of every little ache, pain, mostly worried about cancer. Her style of thinking lent itself to experiencing anxiety, overestimating bad things were happening, presumed the worst was going to happen. She believed by 'worrying' she was protecting herself, 'looking out for danger' in safe situations too, so she would be better prepared. But more anxious she felt. she was 'worried about worrying', the vicious cycle continued with physical of breathlessness, rapid heart rate. She avoided going to parties because what if no one liked her? she might pick up a bug etc. 
She did not have any time to relax, do things she enjoyed, spent lots of her time feeling worried & feeling anxious. She did not shower every day, her husband started to avoid her, all her conversation with him were about worries about her health. She was driving her friends away, she was lonely. When looking more closely at her anxiety, you can begin to see how her thoughts, feelings, behaviours and physical symptoms all interact and combine to keep the anxiety going. 

When she asked me 'how can I reduce my anxiety'? I gave her some of the following steps
1. Understanding more about anxiety.
2. Learning how to challenge your unhelpful thoughts & see things in a more realistic light.
3. Improving your problem-solving skills. Do a online class of something that interests you..
4. Learning how to reduce the amount of time you spend worrying. Join - exercise, Zumba, 
5. Learning how you can feel more relaxed (physically and mentally). Yoga, meditation classes
6. Learning how to stop avoiding the things that make you anxious
However simply take things at your own pace. 
Health anxiety can be stressful and can stop you from doing the things you want to do! So if you have any questions or comments, please paste them in the comments box below… I will do two FB lives per week - one on Wednesday and one on Friday… please Join me.
