The Fuel Of Stress, Anxiety and Depression |
by:

Intwoonest Century, it is predicted that stress and stress related illnesses such as depression and anxiety will becomebiggest killers. Despite significant advances in housing, standards of living, quality of food, and medical science,pressures all of us have to face in today’s world are as demanding as any pressures experienced by our predecessors.
Why are these illnesses onrise? And why do some people become so ill through these illnesses, they can find it hard to function?
Well they sure don’t happen overnight! You don’t suddenly wake up one morning and feel stressed or depressed. It’s not like flicking onlight switch! And bysame rule, if you’re suffering, you can’t just wake up one morning, flick offswitch and say “Great, I’m better now.”
Many people who don’t suffer from these illnesses often say to sufferers:
“Come on, snap out of it.”
If only it was so easy! Should anyone say this to you, please forgive them as it’s justlack of understanding. It’s very hard for people to understand how you’re feeling if they haven’t been there.
The fact that these illnesses don’t suddenly happen means we can draw some parallels with illnesses such as heart diseases, some cancers and strokes.
Because these illnesses don’t just suddenly happen either.
If we look at heart disease, it’s oftenresult of damaging behaviors practised over many years. Behaviors such as smoking, lack of exercise anddiet high in saturated fat. Strokes areresult of similar behaviors and cancers too, particularly heavy smoking and drinking as you know.
So how do stressful illnesses such as stress, depression and anxiety compare?
Stress is alsoproduct of harmful mental habits and behaviors. These habits and behaviors are developed and practised over years – since childhood in most cases. These aremental processes that enable us to make sense of our lives andcircumstances we’re faced with. When we reach adulthood, we perform them automatically because we’ve learned these behaviors by repetition.
Think of it like learning to drivecar. Initially,skills required to controlvehicle needed conscious thought. It seemed really difficult didn’t it? But once we’ve performed them for sufficient periods, we drive on auto-pilot. We’ve masteredrequired skills by repetition.
Here’skey: if we eat healthy food, take regular exercise, cut out harmful behaviors such as smoking and drinking, we improve our health and drastically reducerisk of heart disease, cancer and strokes. We are repeating good habits, habits that will give our physical well beinghuge boost.
It’s exactlysame for stress. What’s important to understand is that not everyone becomes stressed or depressed – even when tragic and traumatic circumstances happen to them. Just like people who leadhealthy lifestyle and avoid harmful habits and behaviors, people don’t become stressed or depressed because they have learned effective habits and behaviors that prevent stress from arising.
This is very good news if you suffer from these illnesses. Because just as we can learn habits and behaviors which cause us to become highly-stressed, depressed or anxious, we can learnhabits and behaviors which stop these terrible illnesses in their tracks. Andmore often we make use of them, we’ll soon begin to perform them automatically and our mental health will benefit enormously.
No more feeling stressed out. No more feeling unable to cope. No more anxiety and no more depression. EVER.
I’m living proof of this. For five years,series of traumatic events sent me spiralling intoanxiety-induced depression nightmare. I came out of it by learningnatural skills that starve these illnesses. The more I used them,less anxious I became. They’re now as natural to me as drivingcar, and I’ve completely eradicated anxiety and depression from my life.
You can do it too.
