Treatment of generalized anxiety disorder can be successful, but only if you stick to some fundamental guidelines.
One of these fundamental guidelines that should always be followed is to "surround yourself with recovery.
" The concept of "surrounding yourself with recovery" is probably new to you, but in a few minutes you'll fully understand this concept, and more importantly, you'll understand how to stick to this fundamental guideline and cause your recovery to go into overdrive.
So, to best understand "surrounding yourself with recovery" we need to look at its opposite, which I'll call "surrounding yourself with negativity.
" "Surrounding yourself with negativity" is when the majority of your time is spent on the negative side of your generalized anxiety disorder - this would include being around other people with anxiety problems, visiting forums and websites about anxiety, and even reading books on how to overcome your anxiety.
All these things cause your mind to stay locked on your generalized anxiety disorder.
And worse still, you begin to feel the weight of other people's anxiety problems too, simply by spending time reading about or listening to their own stories of anxiety.
This is "surrounding yourself with negativity," and it can be very damaging, and in some cases it can completely halt your progress towards overcoming your anxiety-related problems.
So if that's "surrounding yourself with negativity," then what's "surrounding yourself with recovery?" Well, it's simply avoiding everything that I outlined above: so stop talking to too many others who are suffering with anxiety right now, stop visiting forums and message boards that focus solely on suffering with anxiety, and stop reading books that focus on your anxiety as it is right now.
Just stopping these things will solve the problem of "surrounding yourself with negativity.
" But how do you "surround yourself with recovery?" You do the opposite of everything you've been doing up to this point.
So instead of being around people who are also suffering with anxiety right now, you surround yourself with people who once suffered with anxiety but are now better.
Instead of visiting forums and message boards that are full of people who are also suffering with anxiety, visit forums and message boards that are full of people who've had generalized anxiety disorder and beaten it.
Instead of reading books that concentrate on how to beat your anxiety, try reading books written by people who've already had anxiety and beaten it.
Doing these simple things will get you away from "surrounding yourself with negativity" and take you firmly into the land of "surrounding yourself with recovery.
" And you'll be in immediately better shape, and immediately put yourself on a far more healthy path that leads towards recovery.
After all, we tend to get what we think of or focus on.
So doesn't it makes sense to put all your energy and attention on people who've been where you are now and turned everything around?
