Anxiety Neurosis

Anxiety Neurosis is not to be confused with fear. Fear arises when we face an actual threat, whereas anxiety neurosis is experienced due to an imaginary or perceived threat or danger. In the case of anxiety neurosis, we experience helplessness. Adrenalin and cortisone are released in the blood stream and there is palpitation. Breathing becomes shallow, the muscles are tense and a lot of energy is wasted. Behavioural patterns are learned when we are exposed to an unpleasant situation or experience. But there is hope, as any learned behaviour can be unlearned. The moment we decide to come out of the disease, then awareness, acceptance and understanding of our condition helps.........and we can be free.
