<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/qadirqureshi/3255223127/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3438/3255223127_f5d292d0d4_o.jpg" width="180" height="240" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and it also helps you cope in tense situations. </p>
<p>Everyone knows what it feels like to be anxious- you feel butterflies in your stomach your actions become topsy-turvy, you can almost hear your heart beat right next to your ears, and you are sweating like you are jogging. These are what you go through usually if you have stage fright and you are required to speak in public, or during your first date (who knows when was that!). These, among other feelings (feelings of anxiety) are normal reactions to stress. </p>
<p>Anxiety stirs you up in action. It helps you deal with a tense situation like focusing on a speech that you are about to give, studying harder for an exam, or staying interesting on your first date to make it to the second, and all that. In general, it helps you deal with any situation that is normally terrifying, especially if you are doing it the first time. I, for one, have many times been in this kind of situation and I can tell you it is only passing. But, if it elevates to excessive, irrational fear of everyday situations, now it has become an immobilizing disorder. </p>
<p>Anxiety disorder can cause you to be filled with fearfulness and ambiguity which maybe felt briefly only. However some anxiety disorder last at least 6 months and has the tendency to get worse if not treated immediately. Anxiety disorders usually occur along with other psychological or physical sickness, including alcohol or drug abuse, which can actually worsen the situation. </p>
<p>If you think you have anxiety disorder, don&#8217;t hesitate to seek information about it and find treatment right away before it gets into you. There are effective therapies out there and recent research reveals new treatments that can help most people with this condition lead fruitful and fulfilling lives. </p>
<p>There are five major types of anxiety disorders; general anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panics disorder, posttraumatic disorder (PST), specific phobias, and social phobia or social anxiety disorder. Each of the anxiety disorder has different symptoms, but all the symptoms come together around excessive and irrational fear or dread. </p>
<p>Every normal thinking person is expected to feel anxious in certain areas of his/her life, especially when he/she feels out of control of a situation. There are many reasons that anxiety creeps to your life but if it triggers you to some positive action, then you are handling it the best way. Stop worrying too much after you have done the best you can on any life situation or responsibility. Let things be, if things are meant to happen, they will happen. Enjoy life for there are many reasons to be happy, so why worry?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hepatiquebloom/3255106045/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3364/3255106045_334a6b2bf9_o.jpg" width="240" height="180" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Anxiety attack may affect your quality of life if not given treatment immediately. </p>
<p>As a human being, it is normal that we feel anxious, worried, and fears from time to time due to the things that our complicated lives bring. Anxiety is just a part of life. It helps us cope with the stresses we may encounter. If you are in a state of anxiety, it is likely that you experience anxiety attack. </p>
<p>Anxiety attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming fear that comes without warning and without any apparent reason and this would usually last for no more than 10 minutes. It is far more intense than having anxiety or the feeling of being stressed out. One in every 75 people worldwide will experience an anxiety attack at one point in his/her life. </p>
<p>Most anxiety sufferers report fear of dying, going crazy or losing control of emotions as well as behavior. The incidents generally provoke a strong urge to escape or run away from the place where the attack begins, and they are associated with chest pain or shortness of breath, and feeling of impending doom </p>
<p>A person with a phobia will often experience an anxiety attack as a direct result to the hung-up trigger. These anxiety attacks are brief and quickly relieved once the trigger is escaped. In the conditions of chronic anxiety, one anxiety attack can usually turn into another one, leading to a nervous fatigue over a period of days. </p>
<p>An anxiety attack has symptoms that often occur suddenly without any apparent cause. The symptoms can be as follows&#8221; </p>
<p>-Pounding heartbeat, generally faster in nature </p>
<p>-Increased sweating </p>
<p>-Dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea </p>
<p>-Difficulty breathing </p>
<p>-Tingling and/or numbness in the face </p>
<p>-Dreamlike sensations or perceptual distortions (de-realization) </p>
<p>-Disassociation, the perception that one is not connected to the body and time. </p>
<p>-Fear of losing control and doing something embarrassing </p>
<p>-Fear of dying </p>
<p>-Feeling of impending doom </p>
<p>-Crying, associated to the above symptoms </p>
<p>Anxiety attack usually last for several minutes and is considered one of the most disturbing condition that anyone can live through in everyday life. The way to understand the different symptoms of anxiety attack is: first, comes the sudden jolt of fear with less or no triggering motivation, and then this will lead to a release of adrenaline (epinephrine), which causes the supposed fight-or-flight response, where the person&#8217;s body prepares for major physical activity. This results to an increased heart rate, labored breathing or hyperventilation, and sweating. The diaphragm, involved in the action of the lungs, is also a muscle and it can become overly tight. When there is continuous, inferior anxiety, a person frequently works too hard when breathing. However, if there is hyperanxiety or an anxiety attack, there is overwhelming excitement, and a person may hyperventilate. </p>
<p>Because strenuous activity hardly ever arises, the hyperventilation leads to carbon dioxide levels lowering in the lungs and then the blood, resulting to the shift in the pH of the blood, which will then lead to many of the other symptoms, such as tingling or numbness, dizziness, and lightheadedness. </p>
<p>Anxiety attack is a serious condition, but before you start thinking if you have this condition and go running to see a doctor, stop and take a deep breath! Relax before you start having an anxiety attack, even if you actually don&#8217;t have it. Don&#8217;t take things too hard for it may lead to something serious and may affect your daily routine. Take things lightly. In any case, if you think you have this condition, the first thing you should do is see a doctor. If you are diagnosed with anxiety attack condition, appropriate medication and good counseling can bring your life to normal again. Otherwise, tell yourself to relax and continue to live your life to the fullest.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luissfdsa/3251807276/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3382/3251807276_d61fd3ba8e_o.jpg" width="180" height="240" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Anxiety and depression are familiar conditions to us, but are also among the most serious illnesses in the world. </p>
<p>There are times when we feel anxious and moody. So what? We all go through the same things from time to time, don&#8217;t we? Anxiety and depression are normal part of life. Who has not studied for an exam without having test anxiety, and then scored much higher for it? Anxiety can keep us alert. Depression, on the other hand, can slow us down, giving us time to reflect and recollect ourselves. In other words, anxiety and depression express moods that are familiar to everybody. </p>
<p>But, when anxiety and depression seem to come from nowhere, last for weeks without relief, and get in the way of everyday activities, then we are not talking ordinary moods anymore; they are now illnesses. Anxiety and depressions are one of the most common mental illnesses in the world today. </p>
<p>People with anxiety disorder may have several physical symptoms, like trembling, sweating, muscle aches, nausea, fatigue, palpitation, dry mouth, cold and clammy hands. Emotionally, they are apprehensive, irritable; they have the feeling of impending doom, and they are self-conscious- feeling like being watched and criticized, etc. Obviously, people with anxiety disorder are often left immobilized. Anxiety keeps them house-bound, away from people, not able to do normal and simple for fear of this or that. People experiencing anxiety symptoms should know that it is a common disorder and is very curable. The anxiety symptoms that you may experience include: </p>
<p>Palpitations </p>
<p>Increased sweating </p>
<p>Shaking </p>
<p>Shortness of breath </p>
<p>Chest pain </p>
<p>Nausea or stomach discomfort </p>
<p>Feeling of light-headedness </p>
<p>A feeling of unreality </p>
<p>Feeling of being detached from oneself </p>
<p>Fear of losing control or going crazy </p>
<p>Fear of dying </p>
<p>Feeling of impending doom </p>
<p>Depression, on the other hand, is a serious medical condition that affects the body, mood, and thoughts. It affects the way a person eats and sleeps, one&#8217;s self concept, and the way one thinks about things. A depressive disorder is not the same as passing blue mood. It is not an indication of personal weakness or a state that can be willed or wished away. A person with depressive disorder usually can&#8217;t pull themselves together and get better. Without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks to years. The treatment involves medications and/or temporary psychotherapy, which can be more helpful with depression sufferer. The symptoms of depressions may include: </p>
<p>Persistent sad, anxious, or empty mood </p>
<p>Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism </p>
<p>Loss of interest in hobbies or activities that were once enjoyed, including sex </p>
<p>Guilty feelings, worthlessness, helplessness </p>
<p>Decreased energy, fatigue </p>
<p>Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions </p>
<p>Appetite and/or weight changes </p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tessybritton/3250162604/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3016/3250162604_316bf3243e_m.jpg" width="240" height="139" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;You might wonder whether or not the anxiety you feel is normal.  Here are some examples to help you understand everyday experiences of anxiety.</p>
<p>Q: Help! Im deathly afraid of heights! Is this normal?<br />A: Lots of people have things that make them afraid.  If you are afraid of heights, its not considered to be a problem or abnormal unless it is interfering with your life.  Consider the following example: your sisters wedding is going to be a mountainside resort with cliffside views, and youre considering not attending.  In this situation, clearly, the anxiety is ruling your life.  If this is the case for you, then your fears are taking over your life and you should seek help to learn to overcome your fear of heights.  </p>
<p>Q: My friend suddenly passed away, and Im having nightmares and feeling anxious about it. Whats wrong with me?<br />A: Its not unusual to find yourself thinking about someone whom you have lost, or even to dream about them.  The best thing to do is allow yourself to deal with the loss in your usual way of dealing with sad events. If you find that you continue to have nightmares, that your anxiety is increasing over time or interfering with your life, then you may want to consider seeking professional help.  </p>
<p>Q: My significant other says that I worry too much.  Is this true?<br />A: It depends.  Everybody worries now and then.  Everybody goes through situations, which might trigger more worry than usual.  However, for some people, worry begins to interfere with their ability to think, to concentrate, to relax and/or to enjoy life.  At the point that it begins to interfere with your everyday life, then you should consider seeking help.  </p>
<p>Q: I have to give a presentation for my class, and Im feeling really anxious about talking in front of other people.  What should I do?  <br />A: Many people feel nervous when they have to give public presentations. As mentioned in the above example, its not considered to be a problem unless it is interfering with your life.  Thus, if your hands are shaking a little and your voice isnt as steady as it could be during your presentation, but you get through your presentation, then you are probably just a bit nervous and your nerves will get better with more practice.  Giving your presentation is the best thing that you can do to decrease your anxiety. If your anxiety is so intense that you skip the class on the day you are supposed to give the presentation, then you should seek professional help to work through your anxiety. </p>
<p>Q: I not only have trouble giving presentations, but I find that I cant really talk to people and I get really nervous when I try to make conversations with people. <br />A: Its okay to feel anxious when talking to new people or to people whom you want to impress.  It becomes a problem when it starts to interfere with your ability to meet people and build relationships.  People who experience this type of anxiety often feel alone because of fears of rejection or embarrassment.  It may even be difficult to talk to a therapist.  If your anxiety around other people is getting in the way of having the types of relationships you want, then you would likely benefit from professional help.  </p>
<p>In the above examples, you can see that anxiety can be felt in many everyday situations.  In fact, our bodies are built to be afraid and to feel anxiety, and these feelings are a way to protect our safety.  However, this safety mechanism can become problematic when it not only protects, but becomes out of your control and gets in the way of what you want to do in life.  In this case, you dont need to suffer - you should consider seeking professional help (e.g., seeing a therapist or counselor) from someone who can understand your situation.</p>

<p>Q: I have to give a presentation for my class, and Im feeling really anxious about talking in front of other people.  What should I do?  <br />A: Many people feel unquiet when they have to give world presentations. As mentioned in the above example, its not considered to be a problem unless it is interfering with your life.  Thus, if your hands are shaking a little and your voice isnt as unvarying as it could be during your presentation, but you get through your presentation, then you are probably just a bit nervous and your nerves will get better with more practice.  Giving your presentation is the best thing that you can do to decrease your anxiety. If your anxiety is so intense that you skip the class on the day you are supposed to give the presentation, then you should seek professional help to work through your anxiety. </p>
<p>Q: I not only have trouble handsome presentations, but I find that I cant really talk to people and I get genuinely aflutter when I try to make conversations with people. <br />A: Its okay to feel anxious when talk to new hoi polloi or to shack whom you want to impress.  It becomes a job when it starts to interfere with your power to meet citizenry and build relationships.  People who have this type of anxiety often feel alone because of fears of rejection or embarrassment.  It may even be difficult to talk to a therapist.

<p>In the above examples, you can see that anxiety can be felt in many workaday situations.

However, this safety mechanism can become problematic when it not only protects, but becomes out of your control and gets in the way of what you want to do in life.  In this case, you dont need to abide - you should turn over seeking professional help (e.g., seeing a therapist or counselor) from mortal who can read your situation.</p>

<p>Anxiety attack can be a very terrifying experience. It is a period of sudden and intense fear or discomfort, typically with an abrupt onset and usually lasting for no more than 10 minutes. Sometimes a person can experience a panic attack all of a sudden without particular reason. Most people that experience one attack will usually experience another attack, and those who have recurring attacks, or feel severe anxiety about having another are said to have panic disorder. </p>
<p>Various individuals report different symptoms during an anxiety attack. Some of the common anxiety attack symptoms are: </p>
<p>Palpitations, a pounding of heart, or an accelerated heart rate </p>
<p>Increased sweating </p>
<p>Trembling or shaking </p>
<p>Shortness of breath </p>
<p>Chest pain or discomfort </p>
<p>Nausea or stomach discomfort </p>
<p>A feeling light-headedness, or faint </p>
<p>A feeling of unreality </p>
<p>Depersonalization or a feeling of being detached from oneself </p>
<p>Fear of losing control or going crazy </p>
<p>Fear of dying </p>
<p>Numbness, or a tingling sensation </p>
<p>Chills </p>
<p>Feeling of impending doom </p>
<p>These are some of the possible anxiety attack symptoms. A normal person may experience one or more of these symptoms from time to time. Having to experience some of these anxiety attack symptoms is considered normal if you have reasonable explanations for them. But if you are experiencing them with no apparent reasons, it can be a sign of a more serious condition. </p>
<p>A person with phobia will usually experience an anxiety attack as a direct result of exposure to the things that trigger the phobia. These anxiety attacks are short- lived and quickly relieved once the trigger is escaped. </p>
<p>Usually an anxiety attack begins with an unusual bodily sensation from the anxiety attack symptoms. A person having an anxiety attack will then react, with fear that the symptoms are indicators of a much more serious threat and in turn reacts with more fear which intensified into a state of intense anxiety and panic. Cases of the possible situations where anxiety attack can occur are: when driving, on an airplane, crowded areas, or during sleep at night. Sometimes anxiety attack occurs in a situation where the person cannot exit easily from a social gathering, or in a meeting, but others may experience an incident of anxiety for no reason while in comfortable place or even in sleep.  Anxiety attack symptoms are more or less the same feelings we might experience if we feel danger is about to happen. They are signs of how we usually react if we are triggered by fear, worry, and concern. But, chill out! Fortunately, anxiety attack is not an illness.</p>

Mark Zuckerberg founded the hugely popular social networking site while he was a university student. Over the past five years Facebook has received many investments, the first being five hundred thousand dollars from the PayPal co founder Peter Thiel. A year later Facebook got a further 12.7 million dollars in venture capital from Accel Partners as well as plenty more big investments.</p>
<p>Over the years all the major online companies such as Yahoo and Google have approached Facebook for a buy out. Mark Zuckerberg has always remained adamant that he did not want to sell. But on October 24, 2007 Microsoft announced that it had purchased a 1.6% share of Facebook for 240 million dollars, which ultimately meant the company was valued at around fifteen billion dollars.</p>
<p>But times move on and Facebook is the largest social networking site of its kind and it is now 5 years old. Facebook will be throwing huge celebrations and is going to be giving 150 million lucky users a mystery virtual gift. Facebook is now well ahead of its competition MySpace, as they have more than 20 million more active users.</p>
<p>Not so long ago people used to be terrified to post pictures of themselves online, I believe that is why Facebook has risen to fame in such a short space of time, simply because they have gave people a safe way to connect with family, friends and colleagues. A vast majority of people now upload images of every part of there lives including holidays, weddings, birthdays and regular days out.</p>
<p>Besides from the safe aspect of Facebook, another great function they have allowed is the creation of applications. We all know MySpace suffered because of the spam and people trying to promote themselves, well Facebook gives a genuine platform that webmasters can explore. You can create some create applications using the Facebook API which have the potential to go viral and brand your business.</p>
<p>You can just see how fast Facebook have grown, more than fifteen million users update their Facebook status bars everyday and millions upload new pictures or leave comments. On their friends profiles.</p>
<p>Well I applaud Facebook for being around for so long and I hope the next five years goes just as good, although it will be a lot harder as technologies develop themselves and more competitors hit the social networking bandwagon.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31811236@N03/3255851963/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3444/3255851963_dac3494933_o.jpg" width="218" height="240" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Most people industry with panic-unease lean to errand to the strength village first, and this is not necessarily a bad thing. It is commonly accepted that some angst symptoms can be the produce of a real challenge with the body &#8212; abnormal thyroid activity is one palpable example. </p>
<p>Nevertheless the great lead of worry and panic harms are not remedial &#8220;conditions&#8221; caused by a pure disorder. They are emotional harms caused by lowly &#8220;view habit.&#8221; </p>
<p>With every year that passes, the medicinal village is proper more and more awake that our emotions have a profound effect on our objective vigor. For example, corporeal symptoms of panic-unease regularly appear so dedicated and pervasive, that can be tough to judge emotions caused them, NOT a pure disorder in the body. </p>
<p>Nevertheless even still doctors are proper more sentient of the connection between our kingdom of interest and our objective health, unfortunately, this question of medicine is still not a priority in most medical schools. As an answer, there are bounty of physicians out there who appear a bit clueless about the connection between emotional and unrefined harms. </p>
<p>Anxiety symptoms such as affront stomach, brisk pulse, breathing difficulty, compulsive deep, stinging in the arms and legs, etc. are often treated with medications, as if a tangible health caused them &#8220;disorder&#8221; or &#8220;disease.&#8221; In realism, this is a lot like putting a Band Aid on a dejected leg &#8212; it does not address the origin produce of the hindrance, and isn&#8217;t likely to do much good. </p>
<p>What many doctors don&#8217;t tell patients with panic-fear is that opposing-worry medications do not &#8220;alleviate&#8221; unease troubles at all, or even pleasure the origin of the challenge, which tends to be emotional in quality, NOT brute. </p>
<p>The actuality is that overcoming these types of emotional issues requires an individual to change their lifestyle and their tedious. If you resume the same lifestyle and especially &#8220;view usual&#8221; that brought on the disquiet hitch in the first place, you can be persuaded the hitch will stay. Prescribed drugs may alleviate some of the symptoms temporarily, but the drawback itself won&#8217;t go away awaiting you address the emotional issues that are causing it. </p>
<p>Bad Emotional Habits </p>
<p>As a former sufferer of worry I saw many physicians about the hitch over the existence, and not once in all that time did I ever learn a doctor mention the word &#8220;practice&#8221; in affection to my unease drawback. This seems odd to me nowadays, as I have come to fulfill that worry is ALL about practice. </p>
<p>The unfussy fact is that we all get into routines in life, and when the qualities pain with angst or panic attacks, it is tidy that they have gotten into a routine (a string of routine) that does not work them well at all. The blend is basically to change the routine, and first and principal, this requires developing new &#8220;thoughts habits.&#8221; </p>
<p>One vigorous way to shake up your old routine, and ripen new habits is to become very sentient of what you are focusing on in your day-today life. Author and psychologist Albert Ellis is famed for axiom &#8220;we become what we think about all day long,&#8221; and this is especially exact when it comes to disquiet. </p>
<p>When we focus a lot of attention on anxious and vexed thought, we tend to become more anxious and nervous ourselves. To overcome these problems we must begin to take back limit over our focus, and stop heavy our minds with imagery of drama and conflict (especially unresolved conflict, like you&#8217;ll find in many television shows). Panic-disquiet is mostly a free suggest of an imbalance in our lives. Addressing the problem requires us to &#8220;shake equipment up&#8221; and challenge some of our old habits of opinion &#8212; those old (and unhelpful) &#8220;judgment habits.&#8221;</p>
