Отрывок из книги
Do you worry too much? Are you often sad or down in the dumps? Do you have to drag yourself out of bed in the morning? Or maybe you avoid people more than you should. If so, you’re probably dealing with some type of anxiety or depression. Everyone feels sad or worried from time to time because unpleasant feelings are a normal part of life. But when depression or anxiety interferes with your work, play, or relationships, it’s time to act.
Good news! You can conquer these problems with the help of Anxiety & Depression Workbook For Dummies. Feel free to use this workbook on its own or as a supplement to counseling. In either case, studies show that self-help efforts work.
.....
Emotions guide behavior. Fear increases alertness and avoidance, anger produces aggression, and sadness involves withdrawal. Although most people have a variety of emotional experiences, those with anxiety or depression are likely to experience more sadness and fear, or possibly anger and disgust.
Which primary emotions do you experience the most frequently? Think about a typical day and reflect on what you’re feeling. Think about what happened just before your feeling. Were you thinking about the past or the future? Record your experience in Worksheet 1-7.
