Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Sarah overcomes her driving anxiety

by Dan Regan | Sep 3, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Driving anxiety is one of the more common fears that people come to me for help to resolve, whether it’s panic attacks during lessons, anxiety about the driving test or anxiety about driving after they have passed their test.

I remember when I first started lessons – I’d never been in the driving seat before and in control of (what seemed to me) a massive, powerful piece of metal! However that worry soon passed with practice and all went well during and beyond my test.

However, for others lessons can be an anxiety fuelled nightmare. Some clients dread their lessons and I have helped clients who suffered with panic attacks which meant they couldn’t even start the engine.

For others I have helped, they have passed their test and ‘know’ they can drive but they do all they can to avoid it – and the more they avoid it, the more their driving anxiety grows.

Action Replay

by Dan Regan | Jul 23, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Do you dwell on events that have already happened and make yourself feel bad?

Maybe you play over the things that didn’t go so well or even start to imagine that maybe you said or did something wrong.

And as you replay all those not so great moments you can start to feel bad within yourself and about yourself. You may even project it forward and feel anxious about the next time you are in such a situation or around those same people.

If you are fed up of using your imagination to make you feel bad then do this:

Did You Inherit Your Anxiety?

by Dan Regan | Jul 9, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

According to a recent study, depression and anxiety could be inherited. According to the researchers, the brain function that underlies anxiety is inherited from your parents.

Some of the headlines seemed to suggest that people with anxiety should just shrug their shoulders, accept that they inherited their anxiety and wait for more research to lead to some pills they can take. After all, if anxiety is hereditary then what are you going to do about it? It’s just your lot.

However, reading beyond the headlines, the research does go on to indicate that there is plenty of room for experience and environment to have a say in whether you develop a full blown anxiety disorder. In fact, the research seems to suggest that only about a third of anxiety related tendancies could be explained by family history.

So it seems you can’t just go and point at your mother and father and say “it’s all your fault!”

You Are Feeling Sleepy!!!

by Dan Regan | Jul 9, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Do you have trouble switching off at night and letting go of the day, when all you want to do is get to sleep and get some rest?

If you struggle with anxiety and stress, you may well struggle with sleep – it’s like in those quiet moments when you aren’t distracted and keeping yourself busy, your mind decides to run through all the things you’ve been feeling anxious and worried about. The more you think about them, the more agitated, frustrated and awake you become.

Recently, a pretty incredible number of people have been telling me that they now use my free rapid relaxation audio to get to sleep or help them get back to sleep if they wake up in the night.

The Bad News Daily

by Dan Regan | Jul 4, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Have you subscribed to the Bad News Daily?

Are you spending your day focussing on all the things that aren’t how you want them to be in your life – on all the worries, stresses and bad news in your life, other people’s lives and in the world?

When you feel anxious, it’s easy to focus on all the worries.

And the more you focus on them, the worse you feel. It becomes a self-feeding cycle and it may even feel like you have to find something to worry about.

Teacher Anxiety & Stress Right Up There

by Dan Regan | Jul 4, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

I often work with teachers (trainee, primary and college) to help them take control over their anxiety and stress levels.

From what they tell me about the workload, assessments, constant changes, long hours and demands from all directions, it isn’t too hard to understand how all those demands and stresses can build up to breaking point.

In fact, a recent report by the University of Manchester’s Business School has gone as far as to name teaching as one of the top three most stressful occupations, with endemic levels of stress, anxiety and depression.

And I think it’s pretty unlikely that the culture of testing, constant change and the demands from policymakers, other staff and parents are likely to disappear anytime soon. As well as how bad stress and anxiety make you feel, that feeling you can’t cope can impact on your home life, sleep, confidence and health.

So what can be done about teacher stress and anxiety?

Finding Peace From Anxiety

by Dan Regan | Jun 25, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Are you a tightly wound up ball of anxiety? Do you struggle to switch your mind off and get some peace?

If you have anxiety then you will crave a sense of peace and calmness – both physically and mentally. You may feel like your mind never switches off and your anxiety may leave you feeling exhausted.

Anxiety can create its own self supporting loops – you feel anxious and your mind fills with worries, what ifs and worst case scenarios. Thinking of these then makes you feel more anxious, and leads to more of those worries. It can then ripple into your appetite, cutting back or stopping things you used to enjoy, lying awake at night and can impact on friendships, relationships and at work.

And all you really want is a few moments of peace and freedom from all that anxiety.

Are you putting yourself last?

by Dan Regan | Jun 19, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Are you standing at the back of the queue?

I often work with people who have a habit of putting everyone else first and themselves last. And after a while, everyone else starts to put them at the back of the queue as well.

If you do this too, you may find yourself frantically running around feeling anxious, stressed and frustrated.
