Fear, dread, and agitation are all symptoms of anxiety. It’s your brain’s way of responding to stress and warning you about impending danger. According to specialists, anxiety can cause sweating, restlessness and tenseness, as well as a rapid heartbeat.
Anxiety, according to a mental health nurse at mHub Rwanda, is a mood that most people are familiar with and that we may face on a daily basis. Anxiety stems from a fear of losing control over one’s surroundings. Anxiety and anxiety over a situation might sometimes lead to a solution, but it almost always leads to negative thinking.
It may not be an average mood if worry appears out of nowhere, is severe, lasts for weeks without relief, or interferes with daily activities. It could be a disease.
Anxiety is a normal emotion that occurs when a person is confronted with severe life circumstances and the brain receives a signal that they may be a danger to others; everyone experiences anxiety at some point in their lives. Anxiety disorder, on the other hand, is a mental health illness marked by excessive dread or concern that interferes with a person’s daily functioning.
According to the mental health nurse, practicing various breathing techniques can substantially assist in calming someone down. He recommends that you try breathing via your alternate nostrils. “Place one finger over your right nostril and breathe in through the left nostril for five seconds.” Take a deep breath and hold it for five seconds. Take a deep breath and exhale through your left nostril (with the right nostril still covered). Try it again, this time covering your left nostril and breathing through your right. This procedure aids in the delivery of oxygen to both the right and left sides of the brain.”
You can also employ relaxation techniques like deep breathing and coping skills like acknowledging five things you see around you, four things you can touch around you, three things you hear, two things you can smell, and one item you can taste to help you calm.
