The downward spiral of depression combined with the confusion, panic and fear of anixiety is an imediate threat and limit to our potential we could achieve. They will less likely cause suicide contrasted to depression, as from the fear of what may happen, perhaps feeling guilty as they are unsure what close friends or family may think of their self-claimed 'wretched' selfish non-commitment to life; which isn't entirely wrong. Wilkins shows that depression is often more closley associated with suicidal ideation due to its intense emotional pain and feelings of hopelessness. While anxiety is more related to survival instinct and cynicism features. Now imagine hopelessness towards your survival, not being able to trust others, self-isolation would be even more likely. The World Health Organsisation (WHO) says approximately 1 in 13 people globally suffers from anxiety, highlighting its extensive reach and importance, yet this is 77 out of 1000 compared 84 out of 1000 having depression. So this is the following major problem to address after depression.

The many ways this can come about is a poor childhood. Perhaps not having the experience developed by playing or communicating with other children, likely from poor conditions or tyrant parents. Perhaps no good family connections can also have no outlet for to stress and anxiety, and they will lose the social skills necessary to communicate once older- yet can still be learnt an older age, just devloping independence later. Also being reliant on everyone else rather beginning to learn and have responsibility in your own hands when developing. Anxiety can often be a symptom before long term depression, as not having the ability to communicate and take action is technically striving loneliness. A researcher Hiller researched similar results, so did Kessler noticing it was a strong predictor. So removing anxiety as best as humanly possible is an essential method to remove future mental illnesses. Wittchen is another who shares these possibilities, exploring the bidirectional relationship between anxiety and depression, demonstrating that depression can lead to an increased risk of developing anxiety disorders and vice versa. Kessler similarly investigated on how panic dissorder may lead to an increase in suicide ideation. I really do understand how people may become overwhelmed, I have been in both of these spots previously, first shyness, then distrust, then nihilism. I really hope those reading do have their changes also, it is possible to escape.

Now the question becomes, what are the alluding signs of anxiety? Excessive worry is the beginning, disproportionate to the actual risk and situation, with preconceptions to the unknown which awaits, but these are pessimistic and with cynicism perceptions making one likely hopeless or nervous to what path will be taken by thyself. It may be wise to not take risks, but you will also miss on oppurtunities, and therefore be stuck in your caverns, unwilling to come out again on the long route and take the easy treadable path. Perhaps you can begin to find your adventerous self and first start taking small steps. Sometimes, what is really keeping you back is your false biases within your unconcious psyche, contaminating your mind with slippery slope outcomes, which would actually be a very rare percentage of ever occuring. So when your anxiety hits, note it down, what really makes you feel that there is no hope in carrying that action out? Once you journal this recurringly, you will begin to form a pattern and understand that logic is often better to pursue than your built-up emotional excuses. If this is not fought, then the next symptom is more likely to follow out.

Catastrophising and impending doom; believing that something will occurr against them, no matter the likelihood and possibilities, being inpreventable, even in the cases of normality. This will overwhelm them, so panic attacks are more likely, where the individual feels a sudden surge of gushing fear accompanied by physical symptoms and odditties. At this stage the individual will be frozen, not being able to redeem any effort, therefore failing more within their own perspective, reinforcing this conclusion to repeat again in the future. What I would suggest here are breathing techniques and meditation exercises which you should learn to minimise this. And if speaking, take more pauses and don't be afraid of wrongness- and thats within anything you do. We are all human and make mistakes, and the best way to overcome is not running from them, but confronting the lousy error. And if you are anywhere in the presence of the public eye, don't give in to the malicious mockers, as the hecklers shall eventually be heckled when they see your future improvement, and they are less of the wise for noticing that. They had to have been in the same spot before too.

Now I will speak of the physical symptoms that can be exhibited through this common mental barrier. Blushing when embarrassed is not necessarily a problem, atleast 80-90% of the world's population has expereinced this and still likely do, it does necessarily point towards a person having anxiety, as it is a natural process when anyone gets tense, so any person with anxiety should ignore this entirley as possible. Insomnia is a symtpom often received, awoken by worrying thoughts, unable to take your mind of the matters to relax. Again meditation is helpful, but the military technique to sleeping can be a new area to research in for better sleep. There's often an increase in nightmares, so lucid dreaming could remove that. Webistes such as Headspace and Calm can provide more resources. The Organisation Mind also promotes mindfullness and a way to release negative thoughts for improved sleep.

Many more symptoms include, racing hearts, rapid breathing, diziness, digestive issues, headaches, and a dry mouth. These problems are what make us feel we are unredeemable, but really if our body is experiencing this, we are more redeemable than we think. Our body is in the fighting spirit, and that means we can learn to be used to such a scenario, and find the correct methods of calming not just our bodies but our mind.

The conclusion therefore; is that anxiety is a slippery slope bias, diproportionate to the actual situation taking place, believing that there is only a certain impending doom, which creates a lack of effectiveness in a particular task sending physical symptoms to its victim, assuring they feel they are unable to climb back to success and ultimately fail. And of course all of the real consequences we believe we will receive is in our mind and not external.
Thank you for reading this second post, and I hoped this has helped even a for a little proportion within your life, and I hope to spread more awereness on other similar topics in the future.
