Anxiety Depression Disorder Social Quotes:
Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop. By Usman B. Asif Find out about Anxiety Depression Disorder Social
Is Anxiety a "Disorder?"
I receive a lot of e-mails regarding so-called conditions or diagnoses that individuals have been labeled with, and I felt it was time to say something on this subject. Understand, that I'm not against doctors or therapists or any other health care professionals. Many of these people are dedicated, well-trained practitioners who do their very best to help people live better lives. But I think there is an over emphasis on labeling individuals, so that their situation falls neatly within a pre-ordered category. The truth is, as individuals, everyone's situation is unique, and it is highly unlikely that many people's problems will fit neatly into one of these "boxes."
Labels may have their use, as a type of shorthand to help practitioners get a basic idea of what's going on in your life, but they can be disastrous to the individual. For example, years ago I was diagnosed with several "conditions" and their accompanying labels: unipolar depression, social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, etc. Unfortunately I took these labels seriously, and in doing so doomed myself to feel like a victim of all these so-called conditions for many years.
It was as if a doctor had told me I had a broken arm; I would have never thought, "I can take care of this on my own." I would have recognized that I had a bona fide condition that was outside of my control and needed medical help to deal with. But behavioral problems are not so clear-cut. Most behavioral problems, like anxiety, are under the individuals control to a great extent, if not completely! Because whether we accept the responsibility or not, we ALL have control over our thoughts. And our habitual thoughts affect all of these so-called behavioral conditions to a great extent.
But if we give in to the "conditions" or the "labels," it takes the situation completely out of our control. In other words, we become victims, and accept a victim status in regard to our anxiety or other problems. This victim mentality can quickly become a habit that causes us to always look outside of ourselves for the answers to our problems -- including anxiety. The first step in overcoming anxiety problems is to overcome this victim mentality. This is probably the most difficult part of the process, but once an individual ceases to see themselves as a victim of anxiety or any other situation, improvement in their life comes quickly.
The tricky thing is, society often encourages us to accept this victim mentality. You see examples of this everywhere: in our courts, in the media and even in our educational institutions. So in some ways, developing the non-victim mentality requires you to go against a lot of what you see around you in the world. As I said, I believe this is the most difficult step in overcoming anxiety -- or other life problems -- but all real change springs from the realization that you as an individual are in control of your life, in control of your thoughts and in control of your behavior. Because frankly, if YOU are not in control of these things, who is?

depression, social anxiety disorder, ocd. would you wanna know?
Ive posted a couple times on here about depression, social anxiety etc. and although there's always temporary relief from the very thoughtful answers people provide, there's always a diagnosis or a 'go seek help' answers. Im not saying I dont need it, but fact is I just dont want to go find out. I dont want to have that in my cabinet. I mean, I used to be super confident, funny and seemed to attract people, but now (and Im just 21) I have started to notice all of these social anxieties, self conciousness etc. and can I be 'that guy'? Im single and I dont want a g/f with those problems, what girl wants a guy with them?
I've ignored, denied, suffered through, taken medication for, and met with a therapist over depression for a number of years. There were times that I was able to get myself through it with increased activity and change in diet and involving myself in church and prayer. But those periods did not ever last. I finally know that I need to take medication consistantly and see a therapist when I get overwhelmed. So, like others apparently have in the past, I would suggest you at least find a couselor for some guidance.
I do not have social anxiety disorder or ocd, but I do know how debilitating those can be. Again, a counselor could give you some help with those areas.
I do not think you are destined for a life alone because of these issues--many, many others have problems and have a husband or significant other in their lives, BUT I do think your relationships will suffer without help.
Good luck to you.
