Mild Anxiety
- Mild anxiety frequently develops in situations that normally catch an individual off guard, or which constitutes an approaching deadline.
- The individual may feel unprepared to cope with the event and will experience a sense of worry or tension until they construct a plan that alleviates the tension-producing circumstance.
- Getting a good night’s sleep may be difficult, concentration may be poor, and irritability may be present.
- The anxiety experienced generally lasts as long as it takes to resolve the circumstance producing the tension.
What to do
- While mild forms of anxiety can produce a degree of discomfort, the level of anxiety is not unbearable.
- Procrastination is often a key factor in prolonging the milder forms of anxiety. In this regard, facing the anxiety-producing situation head-on and developing a plan of action to remedy the circumstance is the best way to rid oneself of this type of anxiety.
-
Moderate Anxiety
- Moderate anxiety often develops in situations wherein an individual must face circumstances that are often beyond their control.
- Serious illness, losing ones job, or loss of a loved one, all represent the type of circumstances that can produce moderate anxiety.
- Moderate anxiety often affects one’s mood, causing a lowering of one’s self-esteem, a loss of self-confidence, sadness, suspiciousness, confusion, and isolation.
- Anxiety of this type can often become prolonged because one lacks the control necessary to remedy the situation.
- Still, developing a plan for improving the situation may be helpful to reduce the sense of helplessness that often accompanies this type of anxiety.
- Otherwise, anxiety of this kind may often only dissipate with time and changing circumstances.
What to do
- Because moderate anxiety often produces confusion and self-doubt, it becomes quite difficult to develop a plan that may help the individual regain their sense of control over the situation.
- Consulting with a counselor or a therapist is generally a good idea as a step toward getting things back on track.
- A family physician may be a good starting point in obtaining such a referral, and may even recommend a mild medication ( anxiolytic ) to lessen the anxiety being experienced.
-
Severe Anxiety
- Severe anxiety is usually produced as a result of having experienced a life-threatening situation, or living under the fear of such a threat.
- Surviving a tornado, an automobile accident, a serious fall, a robbery, or other similar trauma can produce severe symptoms of anxiety.
- Sometimes, simply being a witness to such events can generate these symptoms, which typically includes a pervasive sense of loss of safety.
- After experiencing a traumatic event, an individual might develop hypervigilence, and become acutely attuned to any possibility of danger in their life.
- Paranoia may also develop, along with nightmares, a heightened startle response, and even a fearfulness of leaving home.
- Excessive worrying about something bad happening occupies much of their thinking.
- Ones view of the world essentially changes, to the extent that an individual may now see the world as being a much more dangerous place than they had previously considered.
- It becomes very difficult to regain a sense of having any control over the possibility of being harmed at anytime.
What to do
- The primary objective is to replace irrational fears with a sense of having regained an adequate level of safety in one’s life.
- This is best accomplished with the help of a trained professional counselor.
- Most professionals experienced in treating severe anxiety begin by carefully uncovering the root causes of severe anxiety and then working to repair the impact caused by trauma.
- Medication may be helpful initially for managing the anxiety so that therapy can begin to work and be effective.
- Even though an individuals outlook of the world may have been permanently changed, their anxiety can be much more effectively controlled and minimized with time.
