Mental Health Humor : Dreading, Phobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Dreading, Phobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder……
Do you have a phobia? We all have some type of fear for the most part, something that we want to avoid or someone. I have a few phobias. Crossing some types of bridges gives me a mild panic attack or that could be classified as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD is a type of anxiety, too.
Now you would think it was from the height. No, sorry I have no height issues… although, I do have a falling issue… Nope, it’s the grated draw bridges and the sound it makes as you drive over. It reminds me, no actually, takes me right back to a terrifying event in my childhood… The other fear or phobia is with balloons…. yes, I said balloons! I’ll let you figure out what that is on your own.
Generalized anxiety disorder “is numerous worries, many irrational, that are very often uppermost in their mind and interfere with general functioning, such as the ability to sleep, perform necessary duties, hold a job, form satisfactory relationships, etc.” - www.howtogetridofstuff.com. It can make you stop in your tracks or make every thing just seem out of control.
Yet, some times anxiety is good! If our own mind is saying hey wait - what’s going to happen here… Yet, if there is an inability to control it that takes it to the next step.
One of my fellow Today.com Bloggers deals with this on a daily basis and she has a great blog. You need to check it out after you see the cartoon and leave your comment… I’ll post her link below. (Hey, who knows maybe giving her a plug will get me in her blogroll…:)
