Depression presents itself in many different ways. You may not realise what’s going on, because sometimes your problems seem to be physical, rather than mental or emotional. There are also some other mental health problems often linked to depression.

Anxiety

People who are depressed often have anxiety as well – the two problems often occur together, and each can make the other worse. If you are feeling anxious, your mind may be full of busy, repetitive thoughts, which make it hard to concentrate, relax, or sleep. You may have physical symptoms, such as headaches, aching muscles, sweating and dizziness.

Men.

As depression is not discriminant, then anyone can be a long term suffer. However young men ought to be living a life that is precious and not having thoughts of killing themselves.
One of the big problems is that this can also be about pride, also attitude towards depression, this could be about denial.

When young men are in the state of being fit and healthy as well as wanting to be an alpha male, but are now faced with this internal bad feeling of depression, it can send the mind into a turmoil of utter confusion and this makes them hide the problem even more so. Men are also well known for not talking about their problems and so to talk to anyone can feel like a weakness.

Anxiety Hypnosis.

The Nexus Team at Anxiety Hypnosis has helped many people with depression this also includes young men who have suffered for years.
It is important for young men with depression and anxiety to contact a therapist who deals with their problems. To have a free consultation to express their feelings and to feel comfortable with the therapist and find out if they will feel any better with hypnotherapy. Also this is a private and confidential service, so whether this is in Birmingham or Walsall or you chose a therapist who is local to you to get the help you require. After all, suicide is a long term solution for a short term problem.

Is Your Stress Making You a Diabetic?

RAISED BLOOD PRESSURE.

Into the Danger Zone

There are no symptoms for having high blood pressure, if you have high blood pressure you are likely to get type 2 diabetes.

Out of 4 million people tested, 60% had a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes, again no symptoms.

Things that might be happening to you, that you could have a blood sugar problem:

1. Visiting the toilet more often.High Blood Pressure Anxiety Hypnosis Birmingham Walsall The Nexus Team
2. Feeling more thirsty.
3. Being more tired than usual.
4. Blurred vision.
5. Losing weight without dieting.
6. Genital itching or thrush.
7. Wounds are taking longer to heal.

The only way of knowing whether you have high blood pressure in the have it checked.

THINK of what builds your blood pressure up to begin with?

Constant high levels of stress, this is usually the case from a working environment where sales people have to hit targets week in and week out.

Because our bodies get used to the pressure of the stress we put up with it and it habituates. We really don’t notice it until we get even more stressed and only then will you feel ready to blow your top.

Of course all of this leads to getting more anxious and worrying as your health begins to deteriorate.
Your health is getting worse, leading to more sick days of work. The thought of loosing your job stresses you out and this leads to you being more anxious.

Valuing yourself.

If you really value yourself, before it’s too late you now have to really change your life style, before you end up going to anger management courses or receiving stress management counselling or are on long term medication for diabetes.

At the end of the day your health matters and no one else is going to look after you and know how you’re feeling until you put the changes into your life today.

Anxiety Hypnosis Could Help You.

I am here at Anxiety Hypnosis to help you with anxiety, stress, anger, and also to help you know how to manage this, so anxiousness will no longer be a problem.

If you want an effective way to manage your anxiety and stress levels and you feel that you would benefit from hypnosis, then you are the perfect candidate to join me and start to live a life you truly deserve.

My #1 TOP TIP.

would be to engage more in the relaxing aspects of your life and you will know what these are and what suits you, then start to retreat away from the stress. This can be done with taking quality breaks. i.e. you don’t do any work when on your break, also create a structure of work load that you can call time-out by not having to do your work at home all the time.

Kids have always had the right attitude when given homework to do from school, that they don’t want to do it! And at the end of the day neither should you, particular if it is leading you to:

1. Stress.
2. Blood pressure.
3. Type 2 diabetes.
4. Anxiety.
5. Anger issues.
6. Relationship problems.
7. Panic attacks.
8. Long term sickness.

Remember you didn’t sign up for this!

Another quick tip.

When you take a deep breath and then you breathe out, do a long sigh as this helps you get rid of more tension and stress. Do this action several times and you’ll soon start to feel the benefits.

If you would like a free complimentary consultation where I can work with you on a 1-2-1 basis please contact me. Many people suffer from what I have spoken about here and not just in the Birmingham and Walsall areas. This is a modern symptom from a modern world and our bodies cannot cope.

As I treat clients with high Stress and Anxiety levels, they soon start to realise how they can take control of their life and learn how to be calm in a high tension area, whether at work or in the home life.

I look forward to knowing how I can help you…

ADDICTED TO OVER THE COUNTER PAINKILLERS AND HOW ANXIETY HYPNOSIS CAN HELP.

 

Are you addicted to over the counter pain killers?

 

Am I Addicted to Pain Killers?

addiction_is_addiction_The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis in Birmingham & WalsallThe addiction may start as an innocent part of you wanting to get better following a bout of pain, such as surgery, giving birth or having an accident. This may start as prescription drugs but then you get used to the so called good (euphoric) feeling that you get, also known as a (buzz) feeling.

We are by nature an addictive being, as everything we do is repetition. As people know this, repetition will by its act bring on an addiction. This is true if the feelings we get satisfy us, such as the drugs, particularly if they are helping to control your pain.

You might recognise other addiction type behaviours in you or people around you. Theses could be an addiction to Facebook, Gaming Consoles, Constant Texting, Drinking, Sweet or Savoury Foods, Gambling, Smoking, Drugs, Workaholic, and many more…

The Painkillers and You…

Over the counter addiction pain killers can include: Co-Codamol, Ibuprofen, Paracetamol, Nurofen, and of course any drug with an Opiate content.

Once you have the relief from taking the painkillers and they have succeeded in controlling your pain, you still insist in taking them and then you begin to recognise that you have a problem. But you still insist that you don’t. This will lead to a multitude of covert behaviours.

These behaviours can take the form of taking the drugs when you know you don’t require them. You take more than the prescribed dose, by taking a higher dose of pills each time or more pills overall. Recognising that you now lie about your painkillers and you hide that fact. You go to different pharmacy’s, or when different staff are on duty, or you get others to go on your behalf or you start to steal them.

What can I do about this?

If you are at this point, then you know that you need intervention, to have drug rehabilitation for this.

You have to open up the lines of communication to immediate family, so long as you feel that the family are strong enough to help and support you.

You then need to contact your doctor or contact a drug addiction support centre.

Once you have started to readjust your outlook on how to conquer this, because your not a bad person and this isn’t something you planned. This problem started possibly as a bi product to you just wanting to stop the pain that you had.

The best way is to search on line and get the low-down on help offered near you.

What Next.

Once you have recognised that you want help then seek help via the internet, or your GP. If this is to do with pain, then one of the best ways to control your pain in to have hypnotherapy for pain control. Hypnotherapy in this area is quiet effective and of course you are going to be drug free.

Not everyone will be aware that hypnosis can offer such benefits to be pain free, via using the techniques, you can learn that hypnosis can help you manage and reduce your pain.

You may also wish to visit a hypnotherapist who deals with drug addiction as this too can be beneficial to you by helping you to be drug free from painkillers.

You can use alternative treatment to help you while coming off your drugs as this will depend on how many and how addicted you are and if you have an addictive personality.

Anxiety Hypnosis.

Anxiety Hypnosis is here to help, don’t leave it to late because you can receive pain management via hypnosis to help reduce the pain you have being going through. So long as there isn’t any medical reason as to why you shouldn’t be able to be free of your pain.

The help of relaxing the muscles around the pain area is where hypnotherapy works best. But therapy can be used in many ways to help reduce the discomfort.

When seeking treatment, make sure the therapist will access you for the likelihood that they can help with your particular pain management problem.

The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis is here to help with pain problems that you may be having whether this is from a bad back or stiff neck etc… Contact me to find out if I can help, I am available in the Walsall and Birmingham areas. I will also offer referrals if this would be of help to you?

To Sum Up.

Recognise that you have a problem and family members can keep an eye out and check bins for empty packs etc…

Get yourself to the doctors and ask what the long care health plan is for you. Also gather information on the damages and side effects of what drugs you are taking and acknowledge how your present actions are effecting the family and relationships, especially of your partner…

Open up communications and confide in someone who you feel you can trust that can offer advice. This could be a best friend, your nan/granddad or anyone else you may feel that would just give you that reassurity to get you well on your way and off the painkillers .

Notice with the benefit of Painkillers that overdosing on them can have the adverse effect and make you very sick and possible death. it’s not to late to make a change today.

                    …So good luck and you’ll do it!

EMPTY NEST SYNDROME

Are you struggling with your eldest child leaving for university…

What is Empty Nest Syndrome?

Bags packed for university , Anxiety Hypnosis The Nexus Team can help Empty Nest Syndrome is a time when a child leaves the home to move away to university. This can be a heart wrenching time for both parents but especially for the mother. The shock of you being around your child for 18 years and now they have moved out can leave you feeling empty inside.

Although no one has died the same symptoms of grief and heartache are very much felt particularly within a loving family.

This is in every way a new chapter in life, how everyone has to adjust to the new challenges that life has brought you.

The Feeling of Grief.

There is a bag of mixed feelings surrounding the whole situation of what is happening. On one part you have to be happy that they are doing well and thriving, as well as being educated in their chosen field of knowledge. Of course with this double edged sword, you have the negative emotion that just seems to overwhelm the positives especially to begin with.

The feeling of loss and the emptiness in the house at certain times and the things you shared has this could be a time when you no longer have your child’s friends coming around either.

What Can You Do About It…

If you have experienced grief before, then you will recognise the similarity in the emotional feelings. It’s not good to hold onto the negative feelings, as indeed men (fathers) may do. Feeling like an emotional wreck right now, may feel like you’ll never get rid of this.

I think that you should give yourself permission to cry, and parents should be encouraged to express this together if their relationship can do this. This isn’t about a weakness but recognising that you are both feeling the same and this can be your strength. Although one part of the relationship may feel stronger and keep a sense of reality and calmness within the house hold.

Never feel bad about how you feel even though you think that it’s silly as this emotion needs to come out of you so that the healing can take place. It’s okay to avoid the negativity for a while as you don’t want to burst into tears while in the shops.

Your Time To Change.

You have the opportunity to rediscover yourself, but this may be hard as you have probably been at the beck and call for the family for many years. It is important that you have new challenges in your life, this will have to be your calling so to speak as everyone is different and you have to do what feels right.

You don’t have to have a a knee jerk reaction to doing whatever comes along. This could be joining a group with like minded interests. You can even start one of your own. There is an App called ‘meet-up’ as this can also be a way of you getting over your fears of either going out or being allowed to learn how to be you once more.

Anxious Times Ahead!

This can be an understatement of how you feel right now. Once you get over the initial shock and time moves on you will soon realise how time distortion kicks in and before you know it, they are on their way back home and you will be wondering why you felt the way you did.

In the meantime however, as all the new students at Birmingham University and of course the many universities around the country, students are all equally leaving grief stricken parents everywhere. Your kids are possibly feeling the same way, but they have new surrounding and new interests and certainly their new found freedom. So these kids are distracted to say the least, while you are at home crying your eyes out.

This is all natural, but this still leaves you feeling anxious because of wondering if they are okay and not getting into trouble etc…

Anxiety Hypnosis.

As I have mentioned that anxiety, fear, stress and grief play a major part in the overall well-being of you, that said if you don’t deal with this, then you too will suffer. It is documented that mothers particularly can get breast cancer and even brain legends** or scaring on the brain because of the child leaving home for the first time. Of course kids can leave home many times, if they are in a career that calls them away for months at-a-time.

You may feel like you only want to talk about how you feel and that’s okay, also you may want to try hypnosis to get a better understanding of yourself. This could be to help you find confidence to go out and face the world as a new you.

The Nexus Team can also offer EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) ,this is a great way to help get your brain and especially your mind to cope better with the present situation. This also helps people with that grief feeling.
Anxiety Hypnosis also helps you by allowing the mind to readjust to the new immediate difficulties and help get you away from feeling like an emotional wreck. But you don’t have to feel at your worst to see me as you can have a free complimentary consultation to be accessed to see whether you would benefit from my help.

Help is Here.

If you need or require some help with either talk therapy or hypnotherapy to help you with how you are feeling right now and you live in and around the Birmingham area of Walsall etc. then contact The Nexus Team.

Give me a call to find out more, also I will help you every step of the way to help you with your recovery by helping you feel calm and confident. Helping to get you back in control, or contact me to help you with your particular situation and I will answer any questions you have.
Until then you can download my free 7 tips on how to Axe-Anxiety. Click HERE. Also get talking to family and friends to help put yourself at ease and soon everything will start to ease.

To Sum up.

Congratulate yourself for getting your child to be able to get into university and this is what you have all been working towards. Also that they are probably having a good time and this is a time when we all have mobiles and can easily stay in touch also with social media. Feel sad and cry if you need to, but don’t stay there and move forward. This was bound to happen but notice that it will become less traumatic each day and the rawness will fade. Above all don’t be to hard on yourself as you might have other children who need you attention more then ever now.

CLAUSTROPHOBIA AND HOW TO OVERCOME IT

The fear of small spaces

lift CLAUSTROPHOBIA SUFFERS IN BIRMINGHAM & WALSALL ANXIETY HYPNOSISClaustrophobia, or to use its common name, the fear of small spaces, is an anxiety related disorder that often brings on panic attacks when an individual finds themselves in an enclosed or confined space such as an elevator, train, aircraft or even a small room. The fear usually stems from the affected individual believing that they cannot escape or “get out” from an enclosed or suffocating situation. Like most other fears or phobias, claustrophobia normally develops due to a previous experience in the sufferers’ earlier life, usually a trauma or life-threatening situation.

Surprisingly for some, claustrophobia can also be experienced in open spaces. This occurs when the sufferer is part of a large crowd or gathering and again, feels that they are unable to escape from the crowd and find their own space once again. This can occur in places such as concerts, or even inside a packed cinema.

Sufferers are normally aware that their fear is irrational, but when faced with a sudden or unexpected situation where they feel they cannot escape, they usually enter a state of panic and the fear overcomes their normal rationality.

Common Symptoms

When an enclosed space situation arises around an affected individual, the following symptoms are common:
Heavy sweating
The fear of physical or actual harm
Shaking of the limbs
Increased heart rate
Dizziness (light – headedness)
Nausea
Difficulty in breathing

Often, when an individual realizes that they suffer from claustrophobia, the symptoms can seem worse and also arise more often. The individual tends to avoid more and more areas where they feel that an enclosed situation may occur and the subsequent anticipation of a panic attack actually increases their anxiety and heightens their fears.

What can I do to overcome and manage my fear of small spaces?

The treatment of claustrophobia is very similar to that of other anxiety related fears and phobias. As claustrophobia is almost always a learned response to an enclosed space situation, it can also be un-learned just as effectively. Anxiety Hypnosis is by far the best and most successful way to control your claustrophobia and through using Anxiety Hypnosis you can not only learn to manage this fear but overcome it completely.

The Nexus Team Hypnotherapy (Anxiety Hypnosis) have been helping clients from Birmingham, Walsall and the surrounding areas, overcome claustrophobia and their fears of small spaces for many years, all in safe and comfortable surroundings.

What can I do next?

If claustrophobia has taken control of your life or the fear of small spaces is effecting the way you go about your daily schedule, then there is no better time than now to take your life back! Contact me directly at The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis and with my help and backup assistance, you can once again enjoy the freedom of life that you deserve.

OVERCOMING SOCIAL ANXIETY!

So you have social anxiety – what can you do about it…

What is social anxiety?

light bulb & peopleWhen we think of social anxiety, we often think about different social situations that make us feel shy, self-conscious or uncomfortable. The most common example of this is the feeling of being “out of place” or “awkward” at a party or family gathering. However, there is a big difference between feeling awkward at a party and having a deep rooted feeling of despair, anxiety or panic when in the company of other people.

Not many people enjoy receiving criticism, judgement or even a compliment from others, but for some, the fear of receiving such judgements can lead to paranoia, extreme discomfort and panic attacks. In some cases, individuals have had to leave their jobs, school or colleges in order to deal with their social anxiety and in extreme cases, even limit their time out in public for fear of an anxiety panic attack!

If you have reached a level where you think that social anxiety is affecting your life, then the time to act is now! With The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis. Download my free Axe-Anxiety

Common Symptoms…

There are many symptoms of social anxiety and as with every other phobia, they vary in severity depending on the level of anxiety you are feeling.

When a sufferer of social anxiety finds themselves in a social situation that they are not comfortable in, they often experience the following:

Heavy sweating and/or blushing
Nausea
Shaking of the limbs
Nervous stuttering or stammering during conversation
Drying of the mouth
Shortness of breath
Weakness of the body
Sufferers also try to avoid any form of eye contact and make it difficult for themselves to be noticed or approached. For social anxiety sufferers, speaking in public is an almost impossible task.

What can I do to overcome, managing my social anxiety?

For the most part, social anxiety normally has a root cause. This is often a deep lying sub-conscious condition such as a previous embarrassment or traumatic life event which may have shattered your confidence, broken your trust or completely cooled your interest in the people, or in the world around you. Anxiety Hypnosis has been proven to be extremely successful in the area of overcoming social fears and allows you to analyse and understand your sub-conscious thought patterns, leading you to fully overcome any issues you may have, not just cover them up.

Anxiety Hypnosis can also restore your self-confidence and boost your self-esteem to new levels, as well as preparing you for public speaking or appearances. You may not think this would apply to you, but I can assure you at sometime in the future you will have to do some public speaking. This could be thanking people at a wedding, christening, birthday, anniversary or any other social event you can think of. So think of receiving Anxiety Hypnosis as an investment in not only now but also your future as this is a very important step to take right now.

You have probably suffered from social anxiety for many years and have tried avoidance, hiding, using excuses, but none of them have really worked for you. Take action today with using my professional services.

What can I do next?

If you are currently suffering from anxiety, panic attacks or are experiencing any of the symptoms above whilst in a social setting, you may be suffering from some form of social anxiety issue. If you find that these issues are affecting your work, studies or everyday lifestyle, then contact me at The Nexus Team Hypnosis today. With the help of my proven techniques that can work for you, you can learn to live a social anxiety free lifestyle as you can manage your anxiety or panic attack with relative ease. You can once again take control of your social anxiety issues and banish them, once and for all!

TIPS on managing your social anxiety.

1 Seek out a therapist who will help you.
2 Grow your confidence in other aspects of your life.
3 Sit in a chair, imagine playing out your worst social fears, but know you are still at home in the chair.
4 Tell others of your problem as most people are very supportive and want to help.
5 Unfortunately you will have to face your fears in order to conquer them.
6 If you’re going to a party, see if you can be the first to arrive, Then you don’t have the BIG problem of facing everyone right away.
7 Fire yourself up with high energy music or a drum beat as this will energise you and so help override the negative feelings and take this high energy music with you.
8 Last but not least, now take ACTION and if the panic feelings start, just calm down back away for a moment and regather your thoughts and go for it again. As the saying goes ‘Slowly, …slowly, …catch-a-monkey’.
