I'm looking into researching more about the physical and biochemical causes of Anxiety because I'd like to know what processes are going on that lead to such spells. For a while I've felt like I'm out of balance, so to speak, and who knows maybe a change in diet in addition to reducing stress and all the other suggestions short of taking medication (which I am trying to avoid) may help.

If anyone knows any permissable websites regarding the physical/biochemical causes of anxiety, I'd appreciate it if you could post them. Or if they're not permissable, if you could tell me what to search for. I'm also interested in books, etc.

Has anyone else spent time looking into this?

I lead a rather active life, and I'm very much not at a point where I can afford to be debilitated by this (thanks genetics!). I'm still in college and I still have a high GPA, and the last thing I want to do is fall behind in classes because of this (which I felt this was happening in the past few weeks). I intend to seek counseling to help with stress once the spring semester begins. But I figure counseling can only go so far. Like I've said, I'd like to do this without drugs if at all possible, so I'm willing to put the time into researching this stuff.

Thanks.

some of us deal better with the stress and strains of ordinary life than others do
learning how to relax and to stop worrying will help a lot

Regardless of relaxing, I like to be informed about what I'm dealing with. I feel it helps (me) to learn all you can about something of which involves you, be that a health problem or otherwise.

Dear Skittles411,
Can't post commercial sites but can give you some clues to research what you are looking for. Best search engines are: Vivisimo and Teoma. Type in what you are searching for, such as "stress and anxiety", "stress symtoms", etc. Teoma, you can ask a specific phase. Vivisimo is the best because it puts the results in specific catagories for you to not waste a lot of time. I'm sure you will find what you are looking for. Good hunting

Sincerely,

Sickman :)

Hi. there. I suffer from GAD and I know what you mean about the medication part. I refuse to go on medication and just try to deal with it with a positive attitude. May I recommend a book? It's called from panic to power by lucinda bassett. It would probably interest you very much. She also has a website as well. I think you will be very pleased. Also, vitamin B works very well in relieving symptoms associated with anxiety and stress. I hear magnesium as well. Any time you would like to talk, let me know. :-)

thanks guys, I'll look into those. I have a couple books that my mother gave me that I'm reading, and I'll check out the one you mentioned, carebear.
