Some people think that it’s almost impossible to find an outlet while under stress. Most stressed individuals think that doing fun activities will not reduce the effect of problems that they tackle under career, social or personal pressure – which is a very poor way to get cope or rid them of it.

Therapist around the world agree that certain activities like games, sports and art can great affect a stressed persons physical and behavioral problems. Some of them are even employed in stress management clinics and is part of the routine treatment in helping individuals cope with their stress issue.

Mind games

Since stress will first affect the mental functions of an individual, it is very important to teach the person focus his mind on positive thoughts rather than dwelling on negative ones. Mind games offer an alternative which will allow a stress person to divert this thought patterns to something more productive. These clinics encourage their patients to tackle crossword puzzles and sudoku to help them cope with stress.

Logical functions are put to the test by introducing the Rubik’s Cube, Scrabble, and Bridge, into their curriculum. If you have no plans of visiting these centers to deal with stress, you can easily incorporate these games into your daily routine to give your mind some diversion from problems.

Sports

Engaging in sports is a great way to relieve stress. The physical exercise that your body needs to balance biological and muscular functions can rejuvenate those muscles that are tight due to the effects of stress. Playing sports can also provide an outlet for emotional problems like anxiety, depression, irritation, anger, and so on.

Pain in the face or jaw that resembles a toothache
Derealisation and depersonalisation
Smothering sensations and Shortness of breath
These sensations are amongst the more distressing anxiety symptoms. Sometimes it feels as if your chest will not expand to accommodate the air your body needs, other times it feels as if someone is pushing a pillow into your face. The one thing to remember should you experience this is that it is only a sensation caused by exaggerated nerve impulses. These symptoms will not and cannot harm you; you will not stop breathing, pass out or suffocate.

Racing heart, slow heart beat, palpitations
Anxiety releases adrenaline into the blood stream making the heart race and feel as if it is missing beats, (palpitations). This is perfectly natural and will not and cannot harm you in any way. Later I will discuss methods you can use to help stop these feelings. A slow heart beat is also a common feature of anxiety, again it does not mean that your heart will stop beating, it may feel odd and alarming but again do not give it any credibility and it will go away.

Chest Pain
Caused by muscle tension, chest pains can make you feel very scared. The initial reaction of anyone with anxiety who gets pains in their chest is that they are dying of a heart attack. This is not true. Heart pain is very different to this pain and very often does not start in the chest. Deep breathing and relaxation exercises are a very effective way of diminishing these unpleasant symptoms. If you can get somebody to massage your upper back, shoulders and chest, it will help to relax tired and achy muscles.

Lump in throat & Difficulty swallowing
Globus Hystericus is the correct term for this symptom. It is caused by the muscles in the throat contracting due to anxiety or stress. Sometimes it feels like you cannot swallow anything and trying to makes it worse. This is another example of a symptom, which will improve if you give it no credibility. It is totally harmless and will not cause you to stop breathing, eating or drinking, it is just very unpleasant.

Skin losing colour (blanching)
As blood is diverted to the muscles during the 'fight or flight' response, the fine blood vessels in your skin that gives the skin that pink, healthy colour receive reduced blood flow and the skin loses some of its colour. It is not dangerous and will return to normal as the body starts to normalise after an attack. Some people with generalised anxiety can look a little pale most of the time, again this is quite normal and will return to normal.

Sweating
Sweating is a normal bodily reaction and is designed to reduce the body temperature. As the body heats up sweat is released onto it through sweat glands. As the sweat evaporates it takes heat with it, cooling the body. During periods of anxiety the body is preparing itself for either flight or fight and releases sweat to cool the impending exertions. As the anxiety subsides sweat levels return to normal.

Shaking or shivering (Visibly or internally)
We all shake or shiver when we are nervous or cold. Shaking is a normal reaction to fear and/or a drop in body temperature. Shaking occurs when the muscles spasmodically contract creating friction between muscles and other body tissues. This friction creates heat which raises body temperature. During anxiety it is quite normal to experience shaking or shivering. It will pass.

Neck & shoulder pain & numbness in face or head
The blood vessels and nerves, which supply the face and head, originate in the neck and shoulders. Many of these nerves and blood vessels are routed across the head to the face. When the body is under stress these areas of the body are usually the first to become tense. Facial numbness can be very disturbing but is usually nothing to worry about and is usually the result of this tension.

Rapid gastric emptying
This can be a very unpleasant side effect of both anxiety and tranquilliser use. This condition causes the sufferer to feel full very early on in a meal, sometimes making them feel as if they cannot breathe. Then soon after eating they can experience diarrhea and feel as if their whole digestive system is emptying very quickly indeed.

Indigestion, heartburn, constipation and diarrhea
During periods of anxiety the body diverts blood from various parts of the body to the muscle tissues in order to supply them with the oxygen needed by them during the flight or fight response. One of the main areas where blood is used most is around the digestive tract. Blood is sent there to absorb nutrients from the food we eat. As blood is diverted away from the stomach during anxiety, the digestion slows and the muscles around the stomach can become knotted. This can cause indigestion, heartburn and diarrhea or constipation.

Sexual Dysfunction
Impotency, or failure to achieve or maintain an erection, effects many men for many reasons, sometimes there is a physical reason for this but more often than not there is a psychological element.

Symptoms of urinary tract infection
Medication can have many and some times quite obscure side effects including the symptoms of a urinary tract infections. It is always advisable to get these things checked out by your doctor but even if you do have an infection it can be easily treated. Drinking plenty of water is always advisable to maintain good, general health but even more so when the body is under stress.

Skin rashes
Skin rashes, spots or dryness are all very common symptoms of anxiety and stress. It is quite common to get an eczema like rash around the nose, cheeks and forehead. They are nothing to worry about and usually disappear when you start to feel better.

Weakness in arms & tingling in the hands or feet
The flight or fight response is an intense reaction and causes many systems of the body to react. Circulation, blood oxygen and blood carbon dioxide levels change and muscle tension is altered in preparation for action. All of these bodily changes have a profound effect on bodily sensations, feeling week in the extremities, (arms, hands, legs or feet) is one of these sensations.

Tingling is usually caused by the pooling of blood carbon dioxide in the limbs, shaking the hands, arms, legs and feet can help increase circulation to these areas. These symptoms are not harmful and will return to normal. Light exercise is very helpful in reversing these sensations. THEY DO NOT MEAN YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A STROKE OR ANY OTHER NEUROLOGICAL CONDITION!

Electric shock feeling anywhere in the body
The nervous system is a very complex network of electrically charged nerves which are found in every square centimeter of your body, around every organ, muscle and across your skin, the largest organ in the body. Abnormal nerve impulses due to anxiety can cause a vast array of strange sensations; although quite harmless these can be very disturbing.

Dry mouth
As fluids are diverted for use in other parts of the body during anxiety, the mouth becomes dry. Sip water or suck sweets to lubricate your mouth. In extreme cases your doctor can prescribe a liquid to do this but it is expensive. It cannot harm you and will go away after the anxiety subsides.

Insomnia
One of the more distressing effects of anxiety, insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or to remain asleep. It is important to regain regular sleep patterns as lack of sleep can lead to disturbing symptoms. Follow this link to The Linden Method cure for insomnia

Nightmares
Dreams and nightmares tend to mimic what is going on in our daily lives. If we are relaxed and contented we have pleasant dreams and usually do not remember them. If we are disturbed or confused our dreams are more likely to be too. Nightmares are unpleasant but harmless, the more you master good sleep and practice breathing and relaxation exercises the better your dreams will become.

Fears of going mad or losing control
We all have a fear of going mad or losing control but rest assured you are not going mad. Going mad is not a conscious act; those who are suffering from severe mental illness are unaware of their journey into it. You are not going mad. Confused nervous messages to the brain along tired nerves in a tired body do not constitute madness.

Thoughts are an unconscious product of brain activity. If you are anxious, angry, sad or stressed your thoughts are affected, not only by mood, but also by your physical body chemistry. Blood oxygen levels can affect brain activity and the central nervous system, as can many other bodily chemicals like adrenaline, hormones and even vitamins. These un-pleasant thoughts, emotions and totally irrational fears are not harmful to yourself or others. Any thoughts of harming yourself or other people are perceived only. As you body becomes more relaxed and less anxious your thought processes will return to normal.

Increased depression & suicidal feelings
Depression is a word that is commonly misused to describe a variety of conditions. I hear many people in every day life who say, "I am depressed, I feel terrible, I am so fed up". This is, in most cases, not depression. Depression is a series of chemical imbalances that create a clinical illness that has strong links with anxiety disorders and can be a side effect of them. Anxiety has many features of depression and can mimic it quite strongly. When someone goes to the doctor complaining of feeling run down and fed up, it is all too easy to write a prescription for Prozac, Seroxat or another anti-depressant. I wonder how many people are on anti-depressants who just needed to reassess and restructure their lives.

Aggression
When you feel tired, ill, fed up and held back by your condition you are bound to feel angry. One of the main causes of true anger is actually sadness. Think back to a situation that has made you feel anger, if you dissect that event you might find that the true reason for feeling so angry was a feeling of sadness. Aggression is a normal reaction to fear also, the fight or flight response prepares us to either run or fight, sometimes to fight may seem to be the best response.

Symptoms like 'flu'
Influenza causes the body to release anti-bodies into the blood stream to attack the virus. This combination of anti-bodies and infection makes the body feel weak, sweaty and painful. Anxiety can have a similar effect, weakening the muscles, making you clammy and achy. Believe it or not the more you do physically the better this will become.

Distorted vision
In order to prepare the body for impending danger, adrenaline release causes many physical changes. During the anxiety response the body prepares the eyes to notice any slight movements; it does this by dilating the pupils allowing more light to enter. This is why anxious people become more sensitive to bright light and often wear sunglasses to minimize the eyestrain it causes.

Disturbed hearing
This is called tinitus and is usually experienced as whistling or screeching noises in either or both ears.

Hormone problems
Anxiety can affect various systems of the body, one of which is the endocrine system. This system is responsible for balancing the glands, which secrete hormones in the body. Although these glands secrete the hormones needed by the body, they do not control the levels of these chemicals, this is done by the brain. Disturbed messages in the brain and nervous system can cause slight irregularities in the secretion of these chemicals.

When anxiety levels return to normal so will the hormone levels. There are few examples where these hormones cause serious problems and if they do your doctor can correct them.

Women may find that their menstrual cycle is temporarily effected and men may find that they have mood swings whilst testosterone levels are affected.

Headaches & feelings of having a tight band around head
As discussed earlier, tension in the neck and shoulders can cause immense discomfort, migraine and numbness. The feeling of having a tight band around your head is caused by muscular tension in the sheath of muscles covering the skull. Restricted blood vessels and nerves within this tissue can cause very severe symptoms including pain in the eyes, face and teeth.

Sore eyes
Reduced lubrication in the eyes when body fluids are diverted elsewhere during anxiety causes the eyes to feel sore, dry and painful.

Agoraphobia
Agoraphobia is a natural response to anxiety and self-preservation. If we feel threatened we tend to retreat to somewhere safe, like a tortoise into its shell. In anxiety it is important to gain control of this response as soon as you feel it developing. Avoidance of situations is not an effective tool in the fight against agoraphobia.

Hallucinations
Mostly experienced by people in withdrawal, hallucinations can be very frightening indeed if you do not understand what they are and where they come from. Hallucinations are another example of transient symptoms. If you are in withdrawal they will pass, if you are not in withdrawal consult your doctor, as they may be a side effect of the drugs that you have been prescribed.

Creeping or pins and needles sensations in The skin
The nerve endings in your skin are alive with electrical impulses, these can feel like creeping sensations, pins and needles or tickling, they are the result of confused nerve impulses and cannot harm you.

Increased sensitivity to light, sound, touch, and smell
All of these sensitivities are to prepare your senses to see, smell, hear and feel more when in impending danger during the fight or flight response. All of these feeling are unusual but not dangerous, they are temporary and will return to normal as your anxiety levels reduce.

Hyperactivity
Hyperactivity is a way of describing a range of symptoms that cause you to feel as if you need to talk faster and do things faster. It can make you feel confused and irrational and can make you do things that you would not usually do. This is a common feature of anxiety and drug withdrawal and will pass in time.

Dramatic increase in sexual feelings
As the brain copes with disturbed and confused messages from all around the body, some of the mind's thought processes can become a little distorted or exaggerated. Sexual thoughts and emotions are typically very strong even when in good health, they are what drive the attraction mechanism when we meet people we find attractive and create the sexual feelings we feel for some people.

Pain in the face or jaw that resembles a toothache
The term 'face ache' comes from this feature of anxiety. Most of this symptom is caused by tension, not only in the face, neck and shoulders, which can refer pain to the jaw and teeth, but also in the jaw itself.

Derealisation and Depersonalisation
These are both symptoms, which affect the way you experience yourself. Derealisation is the sensation that you and everything around you is not real or dreamy, as if you are seeing everything through a fog or some kind of filter. It has been noticed that people experience both depersonalisation and derealisation during panic. It seems that some people dissociate first which then causes panic and derealisation.

When Panic Attacks: CALM DOWN - focus - move on


Panic Disorder Signs And Symptoms:
http://www.way2hope.org/mental-health/panic-disorder-symptoms.htm

Also known as panic attacks, this anxiety disorder is known for sudden, intense episodes of fear, lasting from minutes to hours. The typical symptoms of panic disorder are at least four of the following within 10 minutes: 1. Feeling detached, 2. Dizziness, 3. Shortness of breath, 4. Feelings of unreality, 5. Pounding heart or palpitations, 6. fear of dying, 7. trembling, 8. fear of losing control, 9. Sweating, chills, hot flashes, 10. Chest discomfort. 11. Feeling of choking, 12. Numbness or tingling, 13. Nausea.

These feelings are very real during the attack...so much so that many experience constant fear of another attack. In fact, many suffering panic disorder seek treatment for heart attack. Because of the severe feelings, it's common for patients to alter their lives to avoid attacks.

Panic Disorder Causes:
While no one knows the exact causes, genetics and family relationships seem to be risk factors. Women are twice as likely as men to suffer from panic disorder. Some forms of substance abuse can cause panic symptoms.

Panic Disorder Treatment:
Examination for physical conditions should be done, first, to eliminate physical causes and determine if substance abuse is a factor. Doctors can provide a number of medications to control this disorder. Other psychological therapies can help you understand and control your experience.

Panic Disorder Self Help:
Nothing can replace a good diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, regular exercise and regular sleep, as self-help steps for panic disorder. Also, practice mental imagery of relaxing and calming situations, so, if a panic attack happens, you'll be ready to use these relaxing thoughts to alter your feelings. At first, this may seem silly or useless. You feel like you're dying, and this online idiot says to think happy thoughts. Once you know panic disorder is something that happens in your mind, you know you'll have to fight it in your mind. 2,000 years ago, a guy named Saul of Tarsus wrote that you could achieve a peace beyond all understanding by thinking uplifting, noble, praiseworthy and good thoughts. More recently, some guy in a white jacket copied his idea and called it cognitive therapy. Whether you want to call it religion or science...it has worked for thousands of years.

Total Healing:
Mental health conditions can be frustrating and confusing...sometimes even fatal. We both know there are no quick fixes, whether medicine, nutrition, or anything else. Complete healing is possible...from God. If you want God's help with this or any problem, go to Help From God.

When do you discipline yourself without other's intervention?


Signs Of A Controlling Relationship
http://www.way2hope.org/family-articles/signs-controlling-relationship.htm

We've all experienced one type of controlling relationship or another. Sometimes, though, the control goes too far, and one person begins to feel manipulated or intimidated. In these cases, it's good to understand how to manage your side of the relationship and turn it around. That's what this article is all about.

Many Types Of Controlling Relationships: Normal controlling relationships are by choice or necessity. It's necessary to be in control of your infant or toddler, for instance. True harm comes when a parent fails to exercise that control. People choose to be controlled by their employers, even when they think the boss is wrong. That's an economic choice! Normal controlling relationships exist in schools and churches, even in government. What we're going to concentrate on are the abnormal controlling relationships, and what to do about them.

Signs Control Has Gone Too Far: Everywhere normal controlling relationships exist, abnormal control is possible. Some people just can't tell the difference. There's the controlling pastor who goes so far as to tell people who they can marry. Everyone has met at least one government autocrat who uses his tiny cubicle to terrorize anyone unfortunate enough to need his signature. These are so obvious as to be cliché. What are the signs, though, when what you thought was a normal relationship, becomes controlling?

The controllers rarely know! They're operating from a deep need to lord it over others based in things they're often unaware of. It could be a small man trying to compensate for his size, or someone who was an abandoned child needing to have people beholding to him. The fact is, controllers feel so intensely inadequate, the only way they approach "normal" in their minds is to be in charge of everything and everyone. There is nothing more threatening to them than a differing opinion. They will control with whatever tools they can find. The usual tools are authority, age, intimidation, relationship, threat, manipulation, money, or political influence.

The signs that someone is trying to control you are pretty simple. Basically, do they accept and respect your decision or do they use one of the tools above to change your mind? Maybe you don't notice it at first, but you find yourself trying to twist and rationalize yourself away from what you think in order to accommodate the controller. Controllers use the fact that everyone wants to get along, to pressure people into going along with them, when they don't agree. Sometimes you know you're in a controlling relationship when you hesitate to offer your opinion for fear of a controversy..."better let the controller speak and avoid trouble." Generally, the greater fear the controlee has, the more threatening and bullying the controller is. This can quickly grow into abuse as one becomes too timid to do or say anything but what the other wants. These kinds of relationships are most common between spouses or parents and children.

Two Sides of A Controlling Relationship: Even in family relationships where one person seeks to dominate, there are always two sides to the controlling relationship. Small children have no choice at first, but as they grow, they need to assert themselves and face their fears or they will suffer and struggle their whole lives. Bullies will continue until someone faces them down. I was 18 until I finally faced down my abusive father. Afterwards, he was docile and even friendly toward me. In a marriage, if one person is allowed to control everything, there is no way love can grow. The relationship will become abusive or the controlee, seeing no other recourse, will leave, to the great surprise of the controller, who thought the relationship was near perfect. The fact is, the controlees have more power than they're willing to use.

How To Turn It Around: The controlees, in fact, have all the power. Remember that people are controllers to compensate for a feeling of inadequacy. Once the controlee understands this, it can be a powerful tool to keep from being controlled. Now, you're not fooling me...some of you want to be controlled to avoid responsibility for your own decisions, but you're not who this article is for. For those who want to end this form of psychological imprisonment, you can. Just say no, calmly, consistently, uncompromisingly, no! At times when you agree, agree, but NEVER change your mind in the face of any kind of pressure.

If the controller continues and increases the pressure, let him know you feel he doesn't respect you or your opinion. If your controller keeps on, let him know, if he doesn't change the way he behaves, you'll have to end the relationship. You can't compromise with a controller...all you can do is submit. I suspect, if you wanted to continue doing that, you wouldn't have read this far. Frankly, if these tactics don't change the behavior of the controller in your life, the only thing you can do is put the controller out of your life. Frankly, if these tactics don't change the controller in your life, you were never important to that controller...just a placeholder for them to assert their need to dominate. Get away, stay away, and work to build your self-esteem so no one can put you in that position again.

I want you to know there is someone who can help, who loves you and wants only the best for you. That someone is God. If you want help from God, just click on Help Me God.

On the other hand, what are the benefits of Insecurities & Nervousness?


Overcoming Insecurities And Nervousness
http://www.way2hope.org/overcoming_insecurities-nervousness.htm

Whether we want to reduce speaker nervousness or eliminate the insecurity that makes us doubt someone's love, probably all of us feel our life would improve if we could eliminate the little insecurities and nerves we almost constantly battle. If I'm describing you, you're at the right page. We'll define insecurity and nervousness, discuss signs and symptoms, cover some of the causes and learn about controlling and overcoming insecurities and nervousness.

How Do We Define Insecurity and Nervousness?
Insecurities and Nervousness are emotions that serve us well most of the time. They can be described as little caution flags that come up as we encounter risky circumstances in life. If you ever felt insecure when a friend was knocking a beehive with a stick, you probably benefited from that insecurity. Maybe someone at a party made you feel nervous, so you left, later to hear that he had done something harmful or mean. Again, the feelings were helpful for you. In fact, a person who genuinely feels no insecurities or nervousness is probably very dangerous to be around. Carnival rides like roller coasters, in fact, play with these emotions for the enjoyment of the rider. These are normal levels of insecurities and nervousness. Here are some top-selling books on insecurities and nervousness.

These feelings become a problem when they are there all the time or when their presence prevents us from enjoying the challenges and risks of life. Risks, like roller coasters, can be enjoyed. Insecurity and nervousness must be controlled when the emotions rob you of the joy, limit your performance, or limit your willingness to participate at all.

Signs and Symptoms of Insecurity and Nervousness:
Persistence: When feelings of insecurity and nervousness are there almost all the time regardless of the situation, it usually means you have a bad worry habit or a mild anxiety problem. Severe anxieties can be very limiting, so, if you suspect you have a severe anxiety, see Anxiety Management Help-Natural.
Limited Performance: It's normal to blow it under stressful situations from time to time. It isn't normal to blow it all the time...this is performance limiting nervousness. People get this in situations from speaking to sports, and from dating to doctor visits. If you blow it regularly because of nervousness or insecurities, you should address the problem...especially if it is limiting your relationships or job performance.
Limited Participation: If nervousness or insecurities cause you to occasionally choose not to participate in a social activity or career task, these fear emotions are limiting your life. It's likely we're talking about a performance or social anxiety if it regularly prevents you from participating in normal activities.

What Are Some Causes of Nervousness and Insecurities...Does Low Self-Esteem Play a Role? Some people have experienced a serious loss or tragedy in the past that skews how they see everything since. This is usually the root of a serious anxiety disorder rather than nervousness or insecurities. I had a friend who lost a leg in an auto accident and, from then on, was very agitated every time she got in a car...this is an anxiety...not just insecurity. Low self-esteem is usually the chief cause of nervousness and insecurity problems. It's rooted in the feelings of fear about "measuring up" or doing something embarrassing. The bad news is...you won't measure up to your standard of perfection and you will do embarrassing things. The good news is...everyone is in the same boat. This is very good news...read it again. This means that there is nothing unusual about a little flub every now and then. Try to relax!

Controlling and Overcoming Insecurities and Nervousness:
Remember the roller coaster...how we tricked our mind into thinking we were in danger? Nervousness and insecurities are like our minds tricking us into thinking there is danger when there isn't. This gives us tremendous control over our insecurities. Instead of thinking 'what if?' we learn to think 'So what!' Most performers (speakers, singers, etc.) feel there performance isn't up to par if they don't have significant nervousness beforehand. It's what gives them a dramatic edge. Even their mistakes are entertaining. No one sees your mistakes like you do. I remember feeling particularly insecure for a few months and finally asked my wife if she was disappointed in me or felt I was a failure. She said she was in awe of me, and then listed a half dozen of my accomplishments that she felt were amazing. If you've read this article, you'll understand I had trouble accepting her picture of me. I still have insecurities and nervousness, but now I know it's just my mind taking me on a roller-coaster ride. You can have the same attitude change about your insecurities.

If this isn't enough, then pull your calendar out and build a task list. List all of life's normal things that make you feel nervous or insecure...and do them! Yes, do them! Prove to yourself that the World will not come to an end. Do them regularly and repeatedly. The bigger the insecurity, the more you have to confront it. You won't believe the power you'll get from doing all the things that fear kept you from in the past. This will build your self-esteem like nothing else. Sometimes our nervousness and insecurities are so ingrained we need extra help...help from God to break the grip they have on us. If you'd like God's help, click on Help From God.
