anxiety
A look at anxiety in its many forms and manifestations; what is the nature of this specific pattern of extreme fear and worry?
Why we need to philosophize more and worry less?
In times like this being anxious seems inevitable. It is as if like glue we are trying to get rid of. The main player concerned in this virtually inevitable turbulence is deepest part of our brain, which is also called “Reptilian Brain”. This piece of brain evolved in a way that it always keep us alert against any kind of physical danger. We may naively assume that it is only concerned with our physical survival, which is external. But, in reality, it is as much interested in our mental survival as it is with our physical survival. That’s why when our mental survival is in danger we automatically switch into anxious mode. It may seem quite unreasonable and irritating at first. We are not willing to embrace its existence. Most of the times we make war with it. But if we are to look from bigger and deeper scope, we may recognize them as our lifelong supporter. If it had a tongue to say something, it would probably say something like this: “Dear boss, I am sorry to interrupt, but I feel i need to visit you. I hope you don’t mind. To be straightforward, I detected a large dose of negative thoughts in your mind. Because of that, I think you will be better if you spend some sleepless nights. I can emphasize that I may come without any preparation. But, it is necessary for you to be awake and alert. If you listen to my words you will have invaluable insights in your way to greatness. Take your time and conquer the obstacles you face. Your dearest friend, Anxiety.”

Seven Drug-Free Anxiety Solutions
Before jumping into this information, I should give a little background on who I am and how I came to find these drug-free ways to deal with my most significant problems. I have joined the U.S military in 2004 and immediately spent 15 months in the Guantanamo detention facility. While there, I was a guard where every day for those fifteen months, I endured one or all of these treatments: spat on, screamed at, and having urine and fecal matter thrown at me every day. After that, I spent most of my life living in Afghanistan's villages, freeing them from the Taliban. We were attacked every day multiple times a day and, in many cases, were so outnumbered we were unable to fight them off. We did get to free hundreds of villagers and bring home many people to their families that were forced into slavery. But these were very bloody victories, and unfortunately, they tend to return to me often.

What is Anxiety?
Imagine that you've just come home from work. You want to relax. You sit down on the couch and just breathe. You look to the side, and you realize that it's raining. And then you look again to the window and see that the window's open. You think - at first everything is calm. But then, everything goes haywire.

How I Overcame Social Anxiety
The discovery of social anxiety To start from the beginning we have to go back to my childhood. Since a very young age I had the recurrent feeling that I was different from other people. Not in the good sense of being special, on the contrary, I sometimes felt as if I was inadequate. Sometimes I didn't feel good doing things that my friends seemed to enjoy.
