Withdrawal symptoms: stress WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS: STRESS
We all have a part of the brain that works to keep us normally restless and anxious at an acceptable level. During stress and illness, this mechanism may become over-stimulated, so we become over-anxious.
The body reacts to the chemicals poured into the bloodstream, and this gives us the distressing physical feelings which we associate with anxiety: heart beating wildly, stomach churning, shaking and sweating.
If your arm was injured and needed rest, you would put it in a sling. You can learn to give your exhausted nervous system the same kind of comfort and rest.
Dr Claire Weekes gives excellent advice in her books and tapes. In Self-help For Your Nerves, she asks you to accept your nervous illness, float through, and not fight against the physical symptoms and let time pass. This may sound difficult, particularly if you are coping with misery in your life. However, her advice is sound. If you fight your symptoms, you will further stimulate your over-sensitized nerves, and end up even more exhausted and ill. Accepting your fear may be the hardest thing you have ever done, but think of the rewards.
If you have a weak chest, catching a chill, or getting over-tired, could result in bronchitis. In the same way, if your nerves are over-strained, an unexpected gas bill or even a door banging may make you feel ill.
It could be that the anxiety feelings are too much for you to cope with so you retreat (although not consciously) to 'not being you'. If this is very severe the sufferer may hallucinate, 'seeing' themselves or their faces. As anxiety decreases the feelings and hallucinations completely disappear.
