Anxiety disorder is one of the disorders that are commonly experienced by some individuals. Intense worrying and jittery are what describe anxiety disorder. Having this kind of mental problem is not always easy to handle, though there are some ways that could alleviate its disruptive effects.

Over coming anxiety disorder may be easy as long as you give your full cooperation. You may begin overcoming anxiety by having a healthy lifestyle. A healthy body is more immune to stress that could trigger anxiety. Being healthy means your body gets a healthy diet and regular exercises. Acquiring healthy mind and body may also require you to relax from time to time.

Over coming anxiety can also be achieved by undergoing a therapy such as the cognitive-behavioral therapy and exposure therapy. These have been proven effective for years as a lot of patients are able to eliminate their anxiety burdens. The number of sessions that a patient can have depends on the patient’s case.

Medication is another approach to treat anxiety disorder. However, this only gives you a temporary relief. Before taking any drugs that could alleviate the panicky behavior, you must first consult a medical advice to make sure that taking antidepressant drugs and the like is going to be safe for you.

Over coming anxiety does not always have to be expensive, especially for mild cases. As cheaper as spending time with a pet, jogging evry morning, and even meditating can soothe a patient’s tensed feelings. With all these feasible methods, anxiety disorder must not anymore threaten anyone.

    A very dear friend told me, “don’t be too hard on yourself, do not put the world on your shoulders. this world does not revolve only with you. it’s just that, there are circumstances that is beyond our control. You have to trust others, and God most importantly. don’t think that it is always your fault.”

    this advice came very handy whenever my obsessive compulsive disorder happen. so i practiced doing it and i might have exaggerated too much on it. because last friday, i went to the office of my dad which is only walking distance from home. and that time, i have chosen to think like this, “i am gonna kill people, besides there are things that cannot be controlled, and maybe TRUSTING GOD that even I do something to hurt or worse, kill people, He protects them and I should do this to overcome my ocd because it is so disturbing”

    so that was my first time to walk freely and walk without thinking if “did i hurt someone, have i killed him?” instead, i tought of “i’m gonna kill him, i will walk past this road and not walk in safe sidewalks to practice not having axieties and ocd fully.

    so this is what exactly happened. I ate at a restaurant near my dad’s office. so after eating, i went out the restaurant and outside the restaurant is a not so wide and not so narrow road. there are sidewalks along the restaurant to reach my dad’s office. So i see motorcycles, vehicles of all kinds along the road. And that time I told myself (inside my thoughts), “I am gonna kill these drivers. i am not gonna walk along the sidewalks instead i will walk along the road and disturb them so their focus would be disturbed and they would press their brakes and lose cotrol of their vehicles.” and so i did not walk along the sidewalks and i walked along the road. and reached my dad’s office.

    after doing that, i asked myself, “is this really what’s gonna help me overcome my ocd of fear in hurting people? WAIT! I might have killed drivers of motorcycles, or three-weeled bicycle / motorcycle or even cars and trailer vans….!!! HAVE I KILLED SOMEONE? I SHOULD GO BACK! But wait! my psychologist says that i should practice not doing my compulsions but instead analyze the situation so i can practice and remove the rituals of different kinds. So, I should not go back and just let it go! Whether I killed someone or not, I should let it go! I am not going back to check if i killed someone through vehicular / car accident because of me because I know it wouldn’t help me and it would just increase my OCD behavior.

    BUT when me and my dad went home, my conscience bothered me and until now, I am not in peace with my thoughts. I guess it didn’t help at all. At this moment, I am considering myself as a murderer and a killer of innocent people. I am a killer. I did those things just for me to practice not doing my rituals and removing my OCD but I did not consider other people. And I even intentionally thought of killing others and even got pleased doing it because it is for my own good. Should I go back there and ask if there are accidents that occur that time and tell the authority that i am held responsible for all of it? Maybe i should, do you think? Because every action, good or bad, has consequences. I should be given the right punishment so justice would prevail. But before my sentence, and before i surrender, please help me just have a peace of mind. I know that everyday, the fact that I am still alive, is a chance given by God to me so that I would do things right. So i might put myself in jail.

    Please help me realize how my life is going through and what to do with my thoughts to clear my mind. Life has become too hard for me and I really am confused on how to deal with the reality. I do not know if these are only exaggerations but there are big possibilities that it is real. I am just so confused, bothered, and troubled. What will I do?

    I am sorry fo CAPS LOCK ON with some words…

    Sorry for a lengthy question . . .

    but i just need help . . . i know God will send people to tell me what to do with my life.

    To those who would take their time reading this, thank you very much. God will reward you in His time because you help a lost brother that may find his way . . .

    Thanks.
