Anxiety and depression

Feeling anxious can be a very normal experience. We all have had to deal with increased levels of anxiety during periods of high stress or tension. ( exams, work, relationships, loss). When in a high level of Anxiety we  create Adrenalin and Cortisol which   makes us feel uncomfortable and can  result in loss of appetite, poor sleep patterns and overthinking. When we feel anxious we  operate in the old part of the brain ( emotional) which feeds on the “3 F’s “( flight ,fight or freeze). Operating this way  affects our ability to rationalise a situation and assess it true danger or threat.  C.B.T./ Mindfulness  can really help as they works on challenging the maladaptive thoughts ( negative) and helps create a more balanced view , as well as  learning to cope with the chaotic thought processing .
