An anxiety attack can incapacitate a person completely. Blood rushes to your head and your chest pounds like hammer beating a rock. You fret over every little thing. Even the problems of others become yours when anxiety rules over you. These panicky attitude will keep you from living a normal and healthy life. It is important to seek treatments for anxiety before the situation gets worse.Written by Rafael Jones on June 8th, 2009

For almost as long as he can remember, Wayne Patrick Sheeran has suffered from severe social anxiety.“Throughout my life I had this inner fear of people talking about me, making fun of me. I wanted to hide away,” he says.
Among other things, the toll it took on his sleep was acute. Some nights, he only slept two or three hours. “I wasn’t able to relax all night,” he remembers.
But since February, he’s been getting six to seven hours of solid sleep almost every night. One big reason, Mr. Sheeran says, is that, for the past four months, he has been running a twice-weekly 40-minute circuit, weaving through downtown streets here, over the Johnson Street Bridge, along the water on the Galloping Goose trail and back. And he’s been doing it alongside a couple dozen other people.

The stress that affects many people affects their emotional state and can cause severe depression and low self esteem. The low self esteem that inflicts people can limit their work functions, cause social anxiety, and it can ruin your home life. Low self esteem can also be seen by your children when you come home for the day. Overall, it can take an increased toll on your mental health, physical health, and social relationships with friends and family.
From the article Relieve Debilitating Stress with Essential Oils
I believe that essential oils do in fact help relieve certain tensions. I usually do have some oils burning in the house and this article just reminded me that I need to replenish my stock. Do you use any essential oils?
