This article is about state anxiety. For information on susceptibility to anxiety, see trait anxiety.

Anxiety is a physiological state characterized by cognitive, somatic, emotional, and behavioral components (Seligman, Walker & Rosenhan, 2001). These components combine to create the feelings that we typically recognize as fear, apprehension, or worry. Anxiety is often accompanied by physical sensations such as heart palpitations, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, stomach aches, or headache. The cognitive component entails expectation of a diffuse and certain danger. Somatically the body prepares the organism to deal with threat (known as an emergency reaction): blood pressure and heart rate are increased, sweating is increased, bloodflow to the major muscle groups is increased, and immune and digestive system functions are inhibited. Externally, somatic signs of anxiety may include pale skin, sweating, trembling, and pupillary dilation. Emotionally, anxiety causes a sense of dread or panic and physically causes nausea, diarrhea, and chills. Behaviorally, both voluntary and involuntary behaviors may arise directed at escaping or avoiding the source of anxiety and often maladaptive, being most extreme in anxiety disorders. However, anxiety is not always pathological or maladaptive: it is a common emotion along with fear, anger, sadness, and happiness, and it has a very important function in relation to survival.

Neural circuitry involving the amygdala and hippocampus is thought to underlie anxiety (Rosen & Schulkin, 1998). When confronted with unpleasant and potentially harmful stimuli such as foul odors or tastes, PET-scans show increased bloodflow in the amygdala.[1][2] In these studies, the participants also reported moderate anxiety. This might indicate that anxiety is a protective mechanism designed to prevent the organism from engaging in potentially harmful behaviors.

Stress Free

Not long ago I posted a pain list that I use to gauge my pain levels and adjust my daily routine according to it. I went looking for something similar on the internet for that is where I found the one that I use but I could not find any stress level lists so I created my own.

  • Stress level 0 Asleep restfully
  • Stress level 1 Tranquil and at peace with the environment
  • Stress level 2 Upset but controlled responses
  • Stress level 3 Bewildered - Confused but still willing to talk
  • Stress level 4 Very Annoyed - Some angry thoughts
  • Stress level 5 Agitated - Some verbalization but still controlled
  • Stress level 6 Angry - Having trouble maintaining self control
  • Stress level 7 Furious - So angry that you don't make sense all the time
  • Stress level 8 Frantic - Nearing the point of hysteria
  • Stress level 9 Stage 1 Panic
  • Stress level 10 Stage 2 Panic beyond reason
While this list may not reflect your own stress levels it sure helps me to understand where I'm currently at and then I do my meditation to calm down. Meditation doesn't have to take a long time but can be done on a regular basis. Some people meditate by praying and this is a good thing if you are acceptable to prayer.

If you have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) then this is a good place to start. I for one would like to try this once I've got the money to do it.  It would be really nice if some of these companies would put in an ez payment plan so that everyone could afford it.

Blood Blister

The highlights about a blood blister
clipped from www.answers.com

blood blister


Intracutaneous hematoma.




blood blister

A blood blister is a type of blister that forms when subdermal tissues and blood vessels are damaged without piercing the
skin. It consists of a pool of lymph, blood and other
bodily fluids trapped beneath the skin. If punctured, it suppurates a dark red fluid. Sometimes the fluids are cut off from the
rest of the body and dry up, leaving behind dead cell material inside the blister. It tends to have a texture like
putty. Some blood blisters can be extremely painful due to the leaked blood touching
nerves within the part of the body where the blister occurred.

Prevention

Common areas that suffer from blood blisters include the hands and feet.
