Why am I always anxious when driving?
“When making a turn if I’d look back to see if anyone is behind me before turning not wanting them to wait on me.”This comment tells me that you aren’t confident in your ability to sense traffic around you, and make positive decisions and then acting on them, which probably puts you in a position to hear a lot of horns, and see a lot of middle fingers. Cars that are all around you are looking at your driving behavior, and your movements to determine how to drive with you, beside you, or around you. If they are in the lane to your right, and behind you, and they see your blinker on, they are waiting for you to move. If you hesitate for a long time, they will get upset, because they have kept their speed constant or slowed to allow you to either move in front or accelerate and move in front. If you hesitate, this puts the stress on the other driver to figure out what you are going to do. Not a good situation to be in.You are nervous because you aren’t comfortable with your vehicle, the traffic, or merging into traffic, or all of the above. My aunt talks about this all the time. I have driven with her in Los Angeles traffic, and she is a wreck.If the speed limit is 55, but the flow of traffic is 65, you have put yourself in a situation already where your vehicle is the one to be careful of. Just because you drive the speed limit, or 5 mph over the speed limit, doesn’t make you safer in every situation. Everything is relative, especially speeds of cars. When you are going 75 mph, and another car is going 75 mph, and you look across the lane to see them, if you couldn’t see anything else but their car, they would appear motionless, relative to you. Conversely, if you are going 55, and the rest of the traffic is going 70 mph on the freeway, and you look at the traffic, they appear to be going much much faster than you are. You have two options, you can stay in the slow lane, with the trucks, that will be passing you frequently, or you can accelerate to the traffic speed and stay in the middle lane. This is a comfortable position to be in, and likely safer than forcing people to pass you at high speeds.Discomfort with your vehicle and traffic may come from a few things, fear of injury or death, or just that you aren’t comfortable with your vehicle. The first is more psychological and can be taken care of with practice and some meditation, the second is fixed with practice, maybe a driving lesson with someone who can really teach.
Why am i always feeling tense,anxious and edgy?
I used to feel the same way. I counldn't beleieve it when I found out what was causing it. It turned out to be a chemical they put in food called sucralose. And it is in a lot of stuff. From fitness water to tomato sauce. Sucralose is what Splenda is. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read the ingredients. The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons. carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air

Feeling anxious all the time?
I have finally sorted out problems with the girlfriend and she is totally committed to me and we have found a new life together with God. But lately I wake up in the mornings with this horrible feeling of anxiety and impending doom. Its that feeling you feel in your chest (a tightness that does not go away). It usually subsides as the day goes on, but I am having difficulty dealing with this. I have alot of disapproval from friends and family about this girl, but I wan to believe in her...and I have always worried what people think of me...maybe that my anxiety? Not sure what to do!
I am always anxious. I get nervous before little things like internals. How should I overcome it?
Oh, I have always had a lot of anxiety, too. I find it helps to accept that anxiety is just going to happen. Too many people offer advice about controlling anxiety as if they have the cure for it. “Just meditate,” they’ll say, or “pray”, or whatever, as if they have the magical solution that will make it go away and never happen again. But it doesn’t work like that because brains don’t work like that. I’ve accepted that anxiety is just something that my brain is going to do and sometimes it’s going to affect my whole body.This doesn’t mean it can’t be managed, though. I’ve started going to a therapist again and she’s helping me find ways to manage my anxiety. I went to a psychologist for years, then I didn’t go anymore for a long time, now I feel the need to talk to a professional again. And that’s okay. That’s how it works. I’m telling you this so you won’t think that you can go to a therapist, get cured, and never have anxiety again. Maybe it happens like that for some people, but for most of us with anxiety, it’s something we always have to work on, to manage, to live with. I think it’s always going to be there because that’s just how our brains work.I find my anxiety is worse before an event than during the actual thing I’m worried about. I recently had surgery. In the weeks leading up to the surgery, I was full of anxiety, but the day of surgery, I felt oddly calm. It was the same way before my test for black belt. I was full of anxiety for months before, but I practiced and prepared, so by the day of the test, well, I was still a little anxious, but nothing like I was before.One thing that helps me to manage my anxiety is to make sure I’m prepared. My daughter says I over-prepare, but I have to because if I feel I’ve covered all the bases, so to speak, then I’ve eliminated things to feel anxious about.The value of a good therapist is that he or she can help you find strategies to manage the anxiety. And as I mentioned above, just accepting that it’s how you are is helpful, too. If you accept it, expect it, and plan for it, then the anxiety can’t sneak up on you.
I know I am a coward, everything gets me anxious, How do I help myself?
Ever watched this cartoon?It’s Courage- The Cowardly Dog ShowThis lavender dog is timid and scared as fuck, but at the same time, he is very courageous.Courage is absolutely terrified of everything. So when something actually frightening does happen, Courage’s fear is to the max.Yet when terrifying events occur that threaten his owners, who are like his family, no amount of fear will stop Courage from saving them.His name is much more meaningful than it first appears: he is Courage not because he is never afraid, but because he never lets fear stop him.This is exactly what you should gauge from this comparison.You are actually not a coward. You don’t know it.Sure, there will be some things that will slightly get you off the hook, but that is , by no way, a means to conclude that you have zero courage.Be like courage. He doesn’t give a damn that he is frightened as hell. Yet, he defies the odds and gets the shit done i.e, protect his owners.So do yourself a favor. Forget the odds.Everybody has fear in the core of their hearts, even Spiderman. Yet what differentiates him from other people is that fear does not stop him.If a dog , who knows that he is a genuine coward, does not let fear thwart his superman-like abilities, neither should you.And stop being anxious for Christ’s sake. Aliens ain’t invading us.Follow me here-Sabuj JanaImage Courtesy- Google Images.
Why do I feel so anxious before I go at school every morning?
Hey there. I'm 17 year old male, currently in the 11th grade/ Form IV at my school. Anyway, I have a problem. Every morning, when I wake up, I get this nervous, anxious feeling and a sort of pain in my stomach. This began late last year because we were cramming so much work in, in a relatively short amount of time as the exams approached (that is because of the FIFA World Cup. We had extended holidays). Yet, I assumed that after the December holidays the anxiety would stop because I was more relaxed. However, it has started again (started school on Wednesday). It gets so bad that I can barely eat my breakfast (which is normally muesli with plain yogurt and fruit juice), thus forcing me to eat either peanut butter on toast or a sugary cereal (which I dread doing, because I am trying to lose weight). So I really do not know what is wrong. But it gets really bad on the day that we have Physical Education. I get so nervous because I am overweight, and I really dislike having to swim because I get nauseous and weak afterwards (when we are doing time trails). I also cannot do any pull-ups, and I can do very few push-ups or sit-ups. I don't mind so much if we are playing soccer, touch rugby or cross-country, it's just those few things I really loath. I always feel that people are judging me, and there is this one person currently in my class who used to tease me during my second year in high school, but I ignore him because he really is unintelligent (though he appears to have grown up a bit this year). I guess my problem does extend because I am ashamed of my body, because I really am fat (I have a large stomach). I used to be an emotional eater, but I have managed to gain control. Whenever I feel sad or angry, I just do something like read or write [my novel] or even go take a swim outside in my pool. I try to avoid the kitchen as much as possible unless I am really hungry. There are other personal and family-related issues that I have, but I doubt it has anything to do with the current situation (unless it is the stress I gain from it, but I don't know). What can I do to rectify the problem? This anxiety is driving me insane and I am afraid that it may get worse. Thank you for your help.
