    About this ebook

    Beyond Anxiety, Depression and Loss.

    By Michael P. Pierce

     

    The title and the contents page describe what this book is about. It is a self-help book for improved emotional, physical health and well-being.

    It is written in an easy to understand and encouraging manner to help anyone who reads it to cope positively with the anxieties and depression that they are experiencing in their lives at any particular point in time. Keep the book for future use, as anxiety and depression may visit us at various times in our lives.

    This book is not meant to replace medical and/or psychological treatment which may also be required for serious bouts of anxiety and depression and the reader is advised to seek professional treatment and/or counselling when necessary. This book will supplement any treatment that may be necessary and will be a valuable resource to inspire you and motivate you whenever you need some practical and spiritual help.

    Anxiety and depression is usually the cause of one or more loss experiences in our lives. For example, we become depressed if we become unemployed or if a relationship fails, and the depression leads to becoming anxious and visa versa.

    Take my word for it, the main reason why people present themselves to doctors for help with anxiety and depression, is because of a loss of some kind.

    So this book focuses on how to deal positively with loss with lots of tips, hints, and advice to help anyone who reads this book.

    It would make an ideal gift for someone you care about, even yourself!

      Beyond Anxiety, Depression and Loss - Michael Pierce

      Anxiety

      Anxiety is not a nice feeling. Prolonged anxiety can lead to depression, sleeplessness, mood changes, emotional conditions and medical conditions that can affect your health and wellbeing.

      On-going anxiety needs professional help from certified medical professionals and certified and registered counsellors, therapists, psychologist and psychiatrists.

      In brief mild anxious moments (which are normal) nothing may be required other than your awareness that a particular situation has momentarily made you anxious. Simply be aware, take a deep breath and move on with your day.

      When anxiety is creeping up on you more often, is a time to assess what the cause is, to reflect and take note. When anxiety becomes more often than momentary, it is time to take stock of what is happening in your life to cause to be anxious.

      Anxiety can be debilitating and negatively affect your life in many ways such as in your relationships at home, in the workplace and socially in general, let alone how it can be affecting your overall health in general.

      On-going anxiety that cannot be controlled by such things as therapy, counselling, meditation, yoga, support groups, telephone help lines, talking to close friends, talking to a minister/priest/rabbi/yogi etc. will require certified medical attention from your doctor/medical practitioner and may require referral to a Certified Counsellor or Psychologist and you may also need to have prescription medication to help you overcome your anxiety.

      Anxiety is usually caused by a loss of some kind and this book focuses on loss in general as the answer to your anxiety will more than likely be found in the remaining parts of the book that relate to loss.

      Anxiety can cause depression!

      Depression

      Depression is not a nice feeling. Depression can be debilitating. It can negatively affect your health, emotionally and physically.

      Ongoing depression needs professional medical help. The first point of call is your GP/Medical Practitioner/Doctor.

      Your doctor must be involved to help you. Your doctor will do an assessment that is required to refer you to a specialist that is certified to help people with depression such as certified counsellors that are registered and psychologist and therapists, along with psychiatrists that are registered.

      Your doctor may prescribe you with medication to assist you and if your depression is severe, you must seriously consider your doctor’s advice and take the medication as advised.

      In the course of time, by practicing the advice, tips and help in this book, and with consultation with your doctor, your doctor may be able to reduce your medication over the course of time?

      In a nutshell, depression can be a generic medical condition which this book cannot address. Depression can also be the result of an emotional loss of some kind. This book addresses the latter. It focuses on probable causes of depression that find their way back to a loss of some kind.

      Depression can cause anxiety!

      Types of Loss

      Loss comes in many forms. We are all familiar with the concept of loss and grief following a death, and while some readers might be facing this type of loss right now, others may be feeling countless other forms of loss. It may surprise many readers to discover what can constitute a tragic loss to a person and as a result that person may be going through the same grieving process and stages encountered by a person who looses someone close to them through death.

      Unfortunately, some of us experience multiple losses at the same time. This is more challenging to deal with. In addition to a death loss, there are many others.

      In fact, loss can be the loss of anything dear to us that gave us pleasure, security, familiarity, happiness and joy.

      Redundancy and the fear and insecurity that it causes can be overwhelming. Loss of health and having to give up things that gave us much pleasure can be very difficult to come to terms with.

      Separation of any kind is as close as you can get to a death loss experience and often it can be worse for many people because the one/s they lost are still alive and that can make it more difficult to get over.

      Breakups in families through a divorce can be as painful if not more painful because divorce breakups can involve more than one loss. Other losses can include the loss of your partner/companion/friends, and the loss of your children, extended families and associated friends.

      Even the loss or death of a pet can set us back, particularly for those whose only close friend and companion was their loyal and faithful pet.

      There’s the loss of a friend or family member to alcohol or drug abuse. There’s the loss of a family member to a life of crime and/or incarceration, and God forbid, the unbearable grieving loss of a

      Some people have to move away from their familiar surroundings, family and friends, in order to find work far away from their home. These people all go through a grieving process. Families, who have to sell up and move for economic reasons, also go through feelings of loss that extends to the whole family. Children have to leave school, and start all over again to make new friends in new and strange surroundings to them. The whole family’s entire and familiar support network is lost because of the forced move.

      Some unfortunate people have to move because of some disaster such as drought, flood, or fire. People in this unfortunate situation have more than one form of grief to deal with and we less burdened should count our blessings that we have been spared the depth of losses others have had or are experiencing at the moment.

      Just think of some of the tragedies that some people have had to suffer through, such as when a large part of a family has been lost in a tragic accident or a disaster of some kind.

      Reflect for just a moment on what some entire families are going through in war torn countries where they have lost absolutely everything. And then for some of them who manage to escape those war torn countries as refugees, they end up loosing their family at sea, while attempting to flee from oppression, persecution or poverty, when all they wanted was a chance of a new start and a new beginning in another
