How To STOP Excessive Worry

Excessive worry and general anxiety is intrusive to your life and can be crippling. There is good news, however. Lots of good news, so take heart.

Did you know that you can crowd out your negative thoughts with positive thoughts? Just as you've trained your brain to respond to scary situations that are beyond your control, you can train it to respond to pleasant thoughts of calmness, strength and well-being.

I know it sounds too good to be true, but it can be done. This is not to say that you shouldn't seek professional help if your thoughts are so intrusive that they prevent you from functioning on a day-to-day basis. You should. I wrote this book simply to help people who struggle with general anxiety disorder, panic attacks and health anxiety, but who are still able to work, take care of their families and look after themselves.

General anxiety disorder, panic attacks, hypochondria and health anxieties may be linked to depression. Research has shown that people who are depressed have lower levels of serotonin in their brains, and this may hold true for us worriers and hypochondriacs. They key to helping us feel better may be to raise our levels of serotonin and other feel good chemicals known as endorphins.

Antidepressants raise levels of serotonin, but did you know that certain foods, dietary supplements, vitamins and minerals can do the same thing? So can exercise.

Although generalized anxiety disorder, depression, panic attacks and hypochondria are very common, little is still known about the cause and effective treatments. Hypochondria, a form of generalized anxiety disorder, is a preoccupation with one's health. The person with hypochondriacal fears believes he has a serious disease, when none is present. Up to 4.5% of the general population may be affected by this ailment, and people with hypochondria may have a higher rate of depression and anxiety.

People with this condition are almost always consumed with fear that interferes with personal relationships, happiness and work. Hypochondria makes people misinterpret their normal body sensations, and have a persistent fear of serious disease despite repetitive reassurance from their health care providers. Some hypochondriacs, because of their paralyzing fear of getting bad news, avoid going to the doctor altogether. 

Although the exact of hypochondria is unknown, a disturbance in one's perception, which makes normal sensations feel abnormal, may play an important role. Also, people suffering from hypochondria may believe that a specific illness may be due to an imagined or real wrongdoing from their past. It may also be a learned behavior  in those who have had a serious childhood illness that brought about an abundance of attention.

It may also be related to obsessive compulsive disorder as well. Risk factors for hypochondria include having a family history of the disorder, having a serious illness as a child, recent or past stressful events, having mental disorders such as depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), may improve your symptoms, and include paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine and fluoxetine. Antianxiety medications such as Xanax, Valium, Buspar and Klonopin also help with symptoms, and also help keep panic attacks at bay. Antianxiety medication, however, are generally prescribed to be used during the acute phases of your anxiety attacks.

These medications are highly addictive, and become less effective over time. Because they become less effective, people tend to increase their dosages. This can lead to dependence, and withdrawal symptoms when trying to discontinue the medication. Side effects from antianxiety medications include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, urinary retention, confusion, dizziness, low blood pressure and itching.

Psychotherapy helps people identify those specific thoughts that add or contribute to their anxieties about illness, and help correct their misinterpretations of abnormal body sensations. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps teach individuals to focus less on intrusive thoughts and their fears of illness, and to utilized distraction and relaxation techniques instead.

Behavioral stress management teaches people how to become less focused on their health during times of stress. This type of stress management can be used in conjunction with cognitive behavioral therapy.

Alternative and complementary therapies may also play an important role in the treatment of hypochondria and generalized anxiety disorder. Acupuncture helps promote relaxation, and mindfulness therapies such as meditation are effective in the management of symptoms.

Nutritional is also thought to play an important role in the management of hypochondriacal and depressive symptoms. People who experience frequent bouts of anxiety may benefit from limiting their intake of caffeine and alcohol,  and eliminating processed foods from their diets.

Avoiding suspected food allergens such as milk, eggs, ice cream, cheese, corn, soy, wheat and preservatives may significantly improve your state of well-being, subsequently reducing episodes of obsessive and intrusive thinking. Also, consuming foods rich in iron and B vitamins such as dark leafy greens, whole grains (only if you don't have a wheat allergy) and plenty of fruits and vegetables may also help soothe your nerves.

Eating antioxidant-rich foods such as tomatoes, blueberries, squash, cherries and bell peppers, and avoiding sugars, pasta and white bread may also result in a decrease in your hypochondriacal thinking.  Furthermore, when your blood glucose levels are unstable, it can worsen you mood, leading to negative emotions and thoughts about your health.

To counteract this, eat small, frequent meals during the day, which will help stabilize your blood sugar levels, enhance digestion and improve your mood. Limiting your consumption of red meat, and incorporating cold water, omega-3 fatty acid-rich fish into your diet may also help keep anxiety away and reduce your negative thinking. Olive oil is also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been proven to stave off depression and anxiety. 

We love our coffee! Scientific studies have shown that coffee may help improve symptoms of depression, especially in women, however, this benefit may not be so beneficial in those who suffer from anxiety or hypochondria. Caffeine, a powerful stimulant can cause racing thoughts and a heightened awareness of our body's normal responses, which you may perceive as abnormal sensations.

It is also widely known that participating in an aerobic exercise routine can help relieve anxiety, panic attacks, depression and destructive thinking. Exercise promotes the release of feel good chemicals in the brain known as endorphins. It also gives you something to do so that your mind stops focusing on your symptoms.

Consuming a diet rich in vitamins A,C,E,D, as well as the B vitamins may play an important role in the improvement of health anxiety, as may consuming foods rich in calcium magnesium, selenium and zinc. If your diet
