Hi Soutells Friend, this time I’m telling you what it’s like to have an Anxiety Disorder that will happen to life, if you don’t treat the Inner Wound then the General anxiety that will happen to yourself, of course it’s not an easy thing to cure, a little overview in general.

What is Anxiety Disorder?

An anxiety disorder is a psychological condition characterized by excessive fear, anxiety, or worry about various situations, even when there is no real threat. Some degree of anxiety is a natural human response, but when it interferes with daily activities, it can be categorized as an anxiety disorder.

Some of the categories are general, but what if Anxiety Disorder can be one of the causes of Self-confidence? Let’s recognize the general categories and then discuss slowly and in depth the Science, Religion, and Spiritual sides.

Anxiety Disorders: Understanding and Emotionally Coping

Types of Anxiety Disorders

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – Excessive anxiety about various aspects of life for no apparent reason.

• Life without a clear reason, when we do not realize that God made us live in this world with a clear reason, it is not clear that most people feel empty looking for the truth about what we live in this world for.
  of course, because he has not found the answer, even though it is clear with a lot of signs in our environment, but whether he will realize accepting his life from being unclear to having a clear life (which he is aiming for).
• So what are the anxiety disorders that occur in today’s teenagers?
  Anxiety disorders today are not asking the closest people such as parents, friends, or closest relatives who can be trusted, they only follow social media influencers or artists, with different cases, some cases are the same but not similar, because today’s teenagers are trying to be strong or hide the fact that they have excessive anxiety disorders, so the association is the wrong target.
• How to deal with Anxiety in Teens is, to make sure to tell or feel comfortable, then tell Him/She that his parents or people closest to him have also experienced anxiety disorders, in the spiritual world, or religion of course it can make comfort, but the environment also affects, make your teenager believe that in difficulty there must be ease, encourage him slowly so that he is motivated to become a teenager who can overcome his life that he is not alone, because he has God, and has the soul of the universe that supports him.

Panic Disorder – Sudden panic attacks with physical symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness.

• In Islam, panic disorder or anxiety is seen as a manifestation of excessive fear, mental constriction, and restlessness. Panic disorder can also be associated with waswasa caused by demonic whispers.
• Excessive panic disorder as a manifestation of excessive fear, mental constriction, and restlessness, can also lead to mental or physical disorders,
  Becoming frequent hallucinations, leading to the death of the way to treat going to the doctor, or approaching the person, keeping the secret, and encouraging him/she to worship or spiritual so that he wants to see that he is not the only one who feels like that.

Specific Phobia – Extreme fear of a particular object or situation, such as a phobia of heights or social phobia.

• Allah / the Universe recommends that if you experience mental disorders, lack of confidence, immediately seek help, Allah tells us to calm down, and recover so that as humans we are commanded to learn everything.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – Anxiety that arises after experiencing a traumatic event.

• PTSD Can also get an inner wound, Self-confidence that can make the person do things that should not be done, even trying to be a tough person when in reality it is not at all.
• Example Kamijou Touma who has PTSD He helps others, to the point of sacrificing his Soul, Life, Time, and energy, but he has never received gratitude so that the burden of his PTSD becomes more pronounced and heavy, as if his emotions, physical, and mental are completely destroyed.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – Obsessive thoughts that drive a person to perform repetitive actions to relieve anxiety.

And Explained in the Holy Verse of the Qur’an – QS. Al-Baqarah (2:286).

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللّٰهُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَهَاۗ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ اِنْ نَّسِيْنَآ اَوْ اَخْطَأْنَاۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ اِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهٗ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَاۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهٖۚ وَاعْفُ عَنَّاۗ وَاغْفِرْ لَنَاۗ وَارْحَمْنَاۗ اَنْتَ مَوْلٰىنَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَࣖ ۝٢٨٦

lâ yukallifullâhu nafsan illâ wus‘ahâ, lahâ mâ kasabat wa ‘alaihâ maktasabat, rabbanâ lâ tu’âkhidznâ in nasînâ au akhtha’nâ, rabbanâ wa lâ taḫmil ‘alainâ ishrang kamâ ḫamaltahû ‘alalladzîna ming qablinâ, rabbanâ wa lâ tuḫammilnâ mâ lâ thâqata lanâ bih, wa‘fu ‘annâ, waghfir lanâ, war-ḫamnâ, anta maulânâ fanshurnâ ‘alal-qaumil-kâfirîn

1. QS. Al-Baqarah (2:286)

Allah does not burden anyone except according to his ability. To him is the reward for what he has done, and to him is the punishment for what he has done. (They pray,) “O our Lord, do not punish us if we forget or err. O our Lord, do not burden us with a heavy burden as You burdened those before us. O our Lord, do not impose on us what we are not able to bear. Forgive us, pardon us, and have mercy on us. You are our protector. So help us against the disbelievers.”

Meaning:

This verse reminds us that Allah will not burden a person beyond what he can bear. This can be a comfort to those who feel weighed down by anxiety, that every test given is within bearable limits.
