Self-Help guide; How to cure Anxiety and/or Paranoia. Stop worrying, start thinking positive!

Let's cut to the chase;
Nobody likes living constantly in the fear of the future. Being a nervous wreck. Worrying, about nothing.
Here are some things you can do at home to help fight them feelings of paranoia and anxiety:


1. Whenever a worrying thought comes into your mind, argue with it, then focus your mind on something else. For example, if the worry was that you might have lost a certain someone, think to yourself quickly the reasons why you WON'T have lost that person, and come to terms with the fact that you're just being 'paranoid'. Then quickly block the thoughts out.


2. Slightly stronger minded? Don't even bother arguing with your thoughts and worries. They're not worth it. As soon as they arrive, yell Stop! in your head. Even shout it out if necessary ha! The second you've shouted stop, instantly go on to do something else to drown the thoughts. Thinking about your worries won't make them any better. The only way to recovery is to forget them. (Yes, it is hard, but be strong!)


3. Distract yourself! Whenever you have 'spare time', make sure you're always content with something. If you're sensible, do some coursework! However, if you're not so sensible, like the majority of us, then play a game like CoD or something, anything that requires concentration. We have to block the worrying thoughts until you overcome them. This means following techniques 1 & 2, and then following this technique in order to almost completely block out your thoughts.


4. Optimistic thinking, don't be pessimistic, don't even be realistic! When ever we worry, we think about the bad things that may happen... Think over the other thousands of positive possibilities. They're just as likely if not way more likely to occur than the negative thinking. So why worry? It's not going to change the outcome and you need to learn that.. You might as well think optimistically and then you can live happily.


Hope this helps :) Remember to share this with your friends, and to follow me!
