Oh my God, he must have been in an accident!”<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“I can't sleep—<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">I just feel such dread… and I don't know why!”<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Sounds familiar? <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">These thoughts might race through your mind, each one piling on more worry and anxiety. The uncertainty can feel overwhelming, spiraling out of control until you get some sort of confirmation that everything is okay. It's like your mind is a runaway train of 'what ifs' and worst-case scenarios, and you can't find the brakes. This constant state of worry can lead to a range of symptoms that start to affect your daily life.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">When you're worried about your partner not answering the phone or awaiting project feedback, it can lead to restlessness, muscle tension, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms may disrupt sleep and make you easily irritated. To cope, consider proactive strategies like changing your perspective on worries, calling friends for support, or using your physical senses to ground yourself. Additionally, when facing social anxiety at a party, being with friends provides a safety net, boosting confidence and easing worries.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">In moments without a friend nearby, use your senses—see something nice, hear calming sounds, smell pleasant scents, taste your favorite treat, or feel comfort through touch or movement—to shift your focus and calm your nervous system.<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Borkovec, T.

<h1 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.7999999999999998;text-align: justify;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:7pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Have you ever felt like something was about to go wrong, but you couldn't quite put your finger on why? Like a mysterious sense of dread hanging over you, even though everything seems normal on the surface. This feeling is the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) sometimes also referred to as freely-floating anxiety, a situation where worry and unease are your constant companions, tagging along even when there's no apparent reason for them.</h1><h1 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.7999999999999998;text-align: justify;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">People might tell you, "Just stop worrying," as if it's that easy. But with GAD, it's like the 'worry switch' in your brain is stuck in the 'on' position. This can leave you feeling exhausted, on edge, and even give you a headache or a stomachache. Now, you might wonder, "Why me?" Well, GAD can be a bit like a family heirloom, passed down through generations, or it might be triggered by stressful events. It's not your fault, and it's nothing to be ashamed of.</h1><h1 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.7999999999999998;text-align: justify;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Here's the turning point in your story: Imagine walking into a room where someone really gets what you're going through. There's more you can do in your everyday plot too. Picture yourself lacing up your sneakers and going for a run – exercise can be a great way to clear the fog of anxiety. Or imagine sitting quietly, practicing mindfulness, letting your worries float away like leaves in a stream. Eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and carving out time for fun stuff are all part of your toolkit to manage GAD.</h1><h1 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.7999999999999998;text-align: justify;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:0pt 0pt 19pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Remember that it's a part of your story, but it doesn't define you. You're the hero here, you can navigate this rollercoaster. There's a whole world out there waiting for you, beyond the fog of worry. So, take a deep breath, and take the next step in your adventure.</h1><h1 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.7999999999999998;text-align: center;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:19pt;padding:-9pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:Caveat,cursive;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">you're not alone, and your story is far from over!</h1><h1 dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.16;text-align: justify;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Gana, K., Martin, B., & Canouet, M.

Summary

<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Imagine you're feeling super anxious, like your brain is sounding all sorts of alarm bells. You want to do something to calm down, right? It's natural, because your body is always trying to keep you safe. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">But here's the twist:<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> sometimes the things you do to feel better can actually make your anxiety worse.<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> It's like adding more wood to a fire the more you add, the bigger the fire gets.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Let’s think about this. When you avoid something that scares you, your brain learns that it’s really scary. For example, if you’re afraid of flying and keep avoiding it, you’re telling your brain, “Flying is super scary!” And guess what? This makes your fear grow, just like a snowball rolling down a hill. Every time you skip a flight, you’re adding more “snow” to that fear snowball, making it bigger and heavier!<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Whether it happens quickly or builds up slowly, feelings of anxiety, scary thoughts, and those protective actions you take all work together to keep your anxiety levels high. Each one feeds off the others, and any one of them can be the spark that lights the anxiety fire. Remember, understanding how this works is a big step in managing anxiety.<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Think of it like learning how to control a fire instead of letting it take over!<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">So, what should you do to overcome your fears? Start by taking small steps that challenge your anxiety without feeling too overwhelmed. Instead of completely avoiding situations, face them gradually. For instance, if flying makes you anxious, consider starting with a simple visit to an airport. Just being there and watching planes take off can be a great first step! After each small victory, <span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Celebrate! <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Maybe do a little dance or treat yourself to your favorite snack. Each step teaches your brain that what you fear isn’t as scary as it seems.<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">By slowly working through your anxieties, you can extinguish that anxiety fire instead of letting it blaze out of control.<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#222222;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Dymond, S., & Roche, B.

If you're already prone to anxiety, you might find this experience really frightening, even if it's just normal bumps. On the other hand, if this is one of your first flights and it's a rough one, you might start feeling anxious about flying in the future, even though flying is generally safe.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Your brain is designed to keep you safe. The anxiety part of the brain, <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">the amygdala<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">, is like a radar that is trained to spot dangerous objects and situations. When this “radar” spots something that could be dangerous, it tells the brain to begin the fight or run away, producing the uncomfortable feelings you get when you are anxious.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Understanding your triggers is a big step in managing your anxiety. It's like being a detective in your own life, uncovering clues to help you feel better. Remember, whether the chicken or the egg came first doesn't matter as much as understanding how they affect each other in your world.<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“What if I don’t know what triggers my anxiety?”<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">To identify what makes you anxious, ask yourself the following questions:<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">a.

These brief respites are called panic”<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">"Welcome to the world of anxieties and fears, where life feels like a rollercoaster. Picture those rare moments when worries take a backseat; they're so infrequent <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">that you dub them 'panic.'<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Why?<span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:Caveat,cursive;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Because finding tranquility amid anxiety is akin to discovering a needle in a haystack.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Ready for the ride? <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Recall a time when fear gripped you suddenly. Perhaps it was your car skidding on a rainy day, the moment your crush chose someone else, or your boss hinted at improvement. In such moments, when impending doom looms<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">, your body instinctively shifts into 'fear mode.'<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">However, there are instances when you feel tense and worried without a clear cause. We call this generalized anxiety – <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">a form of fear lacking a specific trigger<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">. When you're anxious, your body reacts as if it's getting ready to protect you from danger. You might start breathing fast, feel your muscles get tight, or notice you're sweating. Your heart could race, and you might feel dizzy, short of breath, or like things aren't real. Your hands or feet might tingle, and you could feel sick to your stomach.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">But fear not, this<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> is only a temporary state.  <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">You’re safe, even if it doesn’t feel like it.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> Think of panic like a wave. It starts small, builds up, and reaches its peak, but then it always fades away. You’ve been through this before, and you’ll get through it again. Just like every wave, it won’t last forever, and you’re stronger than you think.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Try 4 4 4  RULE:<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“When panic or anxiety strikes<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">, <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Merriweather,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Take a deep breath in through your nose for four seconds, hold it for four seconds, and then breathe out through your mouth for four seconds.
