“This is How I Stopped Anxiety”
This has helped me tremendously and I hope it helps your readers
as well.
Hi, my name is Derek J. Soto, you can google me if you want to
find out more about me. I suffered with Anxiety and OCD for
many years. Over these years I have learned a few things that have
helped me stop these things in my life. I remember when I would go
to public places and I would see all these people moving around, I
would hear all the sounds and this combined with my fear of what
might happen to me because my heart was racing and I was feeling
light headed. I literally thought that there was something wrong with
me physically and I felt that I would pass out everytime I went
anywhere public. I found out that my fear was actually causing
these symptoms. I found out that there was no way that I could
stop my anxiety and OCD until I actually got rid of this fear. I was
told that without fear, excessive unhealthy anxiety cannot exist.
I then found out that my OCD was caused by anxiety, so I knew
I had to get rid of the anxiety and the OCD would go away. Here
are some of the things that I did:
1.) I realized that I had to accept whatever it is that I’m afraid of.
I was afraid that i was going to pass out when I was in public, so
what I would do is go in public and when I felt like I was going to
pass out, I said to myself, “I don’t care if I pass out because they’ll
just call an ambulance and I’ll be taken care of.” For some reason
I never passed out and by repeating this, my brain stopped
believing that I would pass out when I was out in public and so I
no longer feared that this would happen.
2.) I had to learn that anxiety is good and it is there to protect us,
so when I started to feel anxiety come on, I told myself, “This is a
good thing, because I know that my protection mechanism that
keeps me safe is working.” I knew then that i didn’t have to be
afraid of it anymore.
3.) I then started to introduce new thoughts into my mind when
I was having an anxiety attack. So if I was sitting there thinking
about passing out, once I realized that I was focusing on that,
I said, “Stop!” and I asked myself, “What would I rather think
about?” Then I would think about things that made me happy,
which was much funner for me!
I know these are very simple tactics, but try them, try introducing
new thoughts because you cannot control what thoughts pop
into your head. See how your emotional state will change once
you start thinking about the beach, or your spouse and the good
times you’ve had, etc.
This has done wonders for me and I hope it helps you too!
Yours for mental freedom,
Derek J. Soto
