Anxiety Relief For Our Troubled Youth
It’s well known that the sweet pain of the growing years always needs assistance. The fact is, nothing in life stays the same and growing up has never been easy.
Media investigation makes clear the serious emotional and mental problems affecting our youth, the leaders of tomorrow. While society has advanced in some ways, that progress has also created new challenges. For many of our young, anxiety and depression interrupt the opportunity to grow into a fulfilled and peaceful life. Questions arise …
… who am I, what is my future, I’m confused, school is lonely, success or failure, where do I belong, am I liked … am I loved … what about my family, what about relationships, what is life, what is death … what is happening to the environment … … why all this war and terror … what do I believe … is there a God … or maybe there’s not … what is worthwhile … why do I feel so scared … ?
Questions like these may lead to aimlessness and ventures into misleading and dangerous activities … while alarming anxiety takes further hold.
Anxious feelings and nervous tension are the body’s attempt to warn that all is not well. Symptoms include poor concentration, outbursts of frustration and anger, nausea, headaches, insomnia, sweating, breathlessness, panic attacks, depression and phobic reactions.
Phobic reactions are negative coping measures that may lead to a range of chronic anxiety disorders viz., OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), school refusal, social phobia and agoraphobia. As matters worsen the development of depression and conditions such as anorexia or bulimia then raise the risk of potential suicide.
My personal recovery from agoraphobia many years ago led me to publish In Stillness Conquer Fear. For some 40 years, I have assisted a great many others (across the life-span) to similarly overcome debilitating anxiety through the first step to recovery – mental rest
