By Gregory Myers


With so many ways to push you off the edge, it is no wonder that there are more people every day getting sick, and this too, mentally sick. Crime does play a huge role but sometimes, minor illnesses such as anxiety can actually be the biggest killer and some of the most affected people are the younger generation who are still in college and meant to be worried about their learning. However, with the help of applied positive psychology they are able to resume some semblance of normality.

If you are someone that is trying to deal with anxiety and struggling to find a way to pass it, you may want follow a few simple steps. Firstly, it is important to watch what you eat. The stuff that one consumes has immediate and sometimes severe effects on your body. If you have something that your body rejects, you can quite sick or you can become unhealthy and not even know it. When you change this habit, you will start to feel better and this will also improve your mental state.

When it comes to social media, there should be boundaries. As you would with kids, there is a set time allocated for them to use their devices and times when they need to do a chore or homework. The same concept needs to be followed even with adults. It is quite easy to become side-tracked and so involved in what is happening elsewhere, that you forget to deal with the now.

Sometimes when you are feeling like you are going to have a panic attack because of something that you need to do or say, it is recommended to just blurt it out. It is similar to writing a letter that relieves you from what you are feeling. And as in these cases, once it is done, you immediately feel a lot better and the weight is lifted.

A common activity that you will find among st those alike, is they tend to take a step back and just breathe. This is the moment when they basically telling their mind to relax and their body to ease up. The breathing helps this process and makes you feel calmer so that you can start over without the feeling of something taking over you. You can always try this and maybe even in a group with others.

As a last resort, you can always visit your GP to tell them what you are feeling and have them diagnose you. In this case, you will probably be given the name of a psychiatrist that you can see. From here, he or she will talk you through what you are feeling and you will eventually have to go onto medication.

It will be light dosages and a higher dosage for those who struggle with their anxiousness a bit more than others. What you don't want, as a young student, is to be on medication when there is no need to be. Your attention should be on educating yourself and not remembering when to pop the pill.

You need to open yourself to exploring other ways to try and combat it by yourself and only thereafter, if you find that nothing works, then you see a GP. Don't ever feel that you need to blame yourself for something that is not your fault. These conditions are unavoidable but what you do afterwards, is completely up to you.
