Suggest Treatment For Anxiety

Hello and thanks for your time, I have a couple of issues that all may be related. To start I have had anxiety issues for much of my life. I believe I have some aspects of an anxiety disorder, but I also think there are some physical things going on. Specifically I think I have a food allergy or other issue that leads to my anxiety. My anxiety comes along with no rhyme or reason. Meaning I could do activity A one day with no anxiety and then the next day I could do activity A and have physical anxiety. Same with people. I sometimes have trouble looking my best friends in the eyes. It is really strange. And to keep it all in perspective I am an Army Ranger, I live a normal active lifestyle and have no issues do stressful stuff even in combat. But sometimes I get uncontrollable anxiety. Next, I have notices for the past few years the left side of my face is becoming more and more droopy. my lip and eye. When I am relaxing or fatigued, the whole left side of my face starts to droop. As I fall asleep my left eye and lip close first. I am even noticing it in pictures. Finally I am noticing that along with my physical anxiety, my left eye starts to cross a little and have trouble focusing. Its all really weird. It very well may be a result of anxiety, I just wanted to check. Thanks again four your time.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I can see that you are troubled with generalized anxiety disorder. I suggest you keep yourself busy as well as entertained. We all know, "Idle mind is devil's workshop". I think you have too much of time to think. Anxiety is fear of something which may or may not be true or may or may not happen in the future. Such a fear is carried by everyone in the world. But everyone do know they have no control over such future events and therefore it is futile to think and worry about them. Secondly, nobody has enough time to think about it. Thirdly everyone are busy living, there is no other alternative except living properly.

Start with these simple steps

Step 1 - Practice Deep and full breathing whenever possible
Step 2 - Drink plenty of water and fruit juices.
Step 3 - A Tomato a day keeps anxiety at bay
Step 4 - Exercise regularly

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
