Dealing with anxiety does not have to be a life altering type of situation. I talk to people all the time who think that they are going to wake up on day and be able to overcome anxiety because somebody says or does something magical. An example of this kind of thinking is believing that the right prescription pill is going to cure your anxiety. I know many people who shop from doctor to doctor, trying pill after pill and they are never satisfied with the results and they are going to keep trying new meds instead of thinking about other possible treatments that they could pursue. I know that meds do work. I have taken nearly all of them myself, but I have a secret to share with you: Medications do not work that well for anxiety. A medication is not going to by itself allow you to be dealing with anxiety in a healthy way. Sure that med will give you the baseline with which you can do something else with yourself to try to combat your anxiety. The med just allows you the clarity to attempt to use another technique to try to actually deal with your anxiety. A med by itself is just not going to do it for ya. Sorry to say.
However, I want you to realize that I am not anti anxiety medication, I believe that these pills do serve an important purpose, they get you in a clearer state of mind so that you can begin to take the steps that are truly necessary for you to begin dealing with anxiety in a healthy manner. Remember, as I have said again and again, the way that you think about your anxiety is far more likely to determine how you are able to cope about it. Now, in some cases, I do not think that my technique for overcoming anxiety can be effective even if you are willing to believe that a medicine is not going to magically cure you of your anxiety. I believe that deeply religious people will have a hard time accepting my method for reducing anxiety. I believe that in order to fully come to grips with your anxiety you have to endure a major paradigm shift regarding your state in the universe. As a result of this, you simply will not be able to continue to believe in the same things that you did while you were suffering from severe anxiety. If this means that you were a strong believer in God and you still had anxiety I think you have to question whether that means you should continue to believe in God going forward. If you believed in God and still could not get over debilitating anxiety, and I mean real anxiety, rather than anxiety about how to get rid of acne or how to get rid of blackheads or something like that. I mean if you suffer from severe troubling anxiety and do not know how you are going to make it through the day, and you still believe that you are going to heaven when you die, then I believe it is best if you just continue to suffer with anxiety and go to heaven when you die.
You can get rid of anxiety by using my method, but for it to work you will need to challenge your assumptions on every level. And for most people that means recalibrating their place in the universe and their own personal insignificance. If you believe that you are going to heaven when you die than you should continue to suffer with anxiety because the payoff for that mindset, eternal bliss in heaven, is better that the alternative payoff – a life free from anxiety. Because if you believe that if you stop believing in God that you will not get into heaven, then you must continue to struggle with panic and deal with anxiety. Why do I say this? In order to truly conquer anxiety and learn how to get rid of anxiety you need to accept the fact that nobody cares that you have anxiety, this will diminish the power of your anxiety disorder and in time you completely lose your anxiety symptoms. However, in order to truly grasp the nature of your insignificance, it can be difficult to do so if you think you are a perfect child the two just don’t go together. So, if you struggle with anxiety, then I believe you will have to make a decision if you want to be free from anxiety in this life or the next. It is a very personal decision, but if you believe you want to begin dealing with anxiety, I can help you.
