Does anxiety sometimes make you feel like you are going crazy?
Some of the Feelings you may Experience.
High levels of anxiety and stress can cause you to suddenly be afraid that you may lose your mind and not be able to think clearly. This is often evident after a panic attack, when you might also have been fearful that you are having a heart attack or suffering a nervous breakdown.
A fear of a nervous breakdown and that you are about to lose control of your thoughts or actions, may loom large in your mind. There is also an underlying fear that you may have a serious mental illness that will have you committed to an institution for life. Your thoughts might be bizarre, unreal, disturbing or irrational.
When your stress levels go up, a combination of these frightening thoughts can easily pop up, and send you into another downward tailspin.
How to Eliminate the Fear of Losing your Mind.
The stress responses which lead to a panic attack and the fear of going crazy are very similar, and actually fuel each other to make you feel worse and aggravate the symptoms. But even though the thought of losing your mind can indeed be frightening, it is not a sign that there is anything wrong with your mind, sanity, or your brain.
It is, however, a strong indication that your body is experiencing a high stress level which has triggered the “going crazy thoughts.” Fortunately, the symptoms will subside as your body calms down, but the feelings may linger for a while, especially if you are very over-stressed. The body and mind can take a while to calm down and be less stressed.
The key to eliminating these disturbing emotions of losing your mind is to successfully and permanently reduce your stress and anxiety issues, by creating a new mindset.
The Best way Forward.
After extensive studies, the medical and mental health practitioner’s fraternity have suggested that the best way to reduce anxiety and stress is by means of hypnotherapy. Anxiety is caused by issues that lurk in the subconscious mind, which is triggered by your responses to stressful circumstances.
Hypnosis, or hypnotherapy, is able to access the subconscious mind and establish the root cause of the high anxiety which is contributing to the irrational fear that you may be losing your mind. Hypnotherapy can help you overcome your fears by correcting harmful thought patterns and poor behavioral responses.
Some of the benefits of hypnotherapy include:
You will learn how to create a new, positive mindset which will enable you to respond differently when anxiety threatens to overwhelm you.
Eliminating poor and harmful behaviors, as well as harmful though patterns.
Identify and remove limiting beliefs which keep you from having a positive frame of mind.
Hypnotherapy will teach you how to approach anxious situations in a different way, by helping you to understand that irrational thoughts may be causing the anxiety - and not necessarily the situation you may be going through.
Give you the will and confidence to overcome the irrational thoughts of losing your mind.
Hypnotherapy treatment is noted for its many successes in the mental health sphere. The treatment has every potential to help you to stay calm and deal with stress and anxiety in your daily life.
Conclusion.
It is important to note that studies have also shown that there is no connection between anxiety and going crazy. The results maintain that while you may feel that you might lose your mind due to anxiety, this cannot happen. It is actually a physical impossibility.
Identifying and dealing with anxiety’s underlying factors is the best way to overcome problematic anxiety issues.
