How to Overcome Anxiety?
Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

Two years ago, I met a guy through mutual connections. At that time, he wasn't interested in me but started blackmailing and misusing me. I wasn’t fully aware of the situation at that point, but it has haunted me a lot since then. Now, whenever I come across a similar situation, I feel incredibly scared and anxious. Could you help me understand why this is happening and how I can deal with this anxiety?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety, which can occur when past traumatic events are recalled. The emotional impact of such experiences can trigger feelings of fear and unease in similar situations. It’s important to acknowledge your feelings and be courageous in facing them. However, if you find that you are unable to overcome this situation on your own or if your anxiety is interfering with your daily life, I would strongly recommend consulting a mental health specialist. They can provide you with tailored support and coping strategies to help you manage these feelings and work through the trauma effectively.

Thanks
