Television Is Designed And Intended To Create Anxiety, Stress, And Low Self-Esteem

Many of you have already figured it out; television creates stress - period. Commercial television is designed and intended to create stress for the simple reason that stressed-out people buy things to sedate or distract themselves - or to solve the problems the television tells them they have. This form of mass-hypnosis has been so effective, there are now thousands of television channels; and, a new mass-market has been generated by creating unrealistic self-images and low self-esteem with artificial images of artificial people - and the answer to your problems just a toll-free telephone call away (and "just three-easy payments of $49.95...").

Television shows are carefully scripted to manipulate your emotions; if they weren't, you wouldn't watch them. But different shows do different things to different people - and cause them to want different things. For instance, daytime television is largely aimed at housewives and mothers of small children who are at home during the day; daytime programming consists primarily of talk, or "gossip," shows, soap-operas, and game-shows. Talk shows create a variety of emotions based on the day-to-day content of the show; while soap operas mostly generate concern, worry, anxiety, jealousy, resentment, and other "dramatic" emotional states, and game-shows are often focused on a financial windfall or the latest consumer goods - things most people don't have. The commercial advertisements you see during these programs are typically for health or life insurance, feminine products, cleaning products, diet and exercise products, food, and drugs.

Sporting events will have commercial advertising for chips and beer, trucks, and other man-stuff; these products are intentionally anchored to very intense emotional states that correspond with the product. The business of marketing and advertising is a very sophisticated business of hypnosis and behavioral manipulation through the manipulation of thoughts and emotions. This isn't a "conspiracy theory;" this is a very scientific process used by major corporations, governments, religions, militaries, and advertisers all over the world. We simply believe what we see and hear from any source we have labeled, "Authoritative," such as: Books, Television, the Internet, Preachers, Teachers, Doctors, Politicians, Parents, etc. Then, we live our lives by these bits of information we have stored as beliefs. When our beliefs about how the world, or our body, health, relationships, or life, should be don't match-up with what we seem to be experiencing, we experience stress and we do whatever we were programmed to do to relieve the stress.

"Fortunately" for us, right after the television stresses us out, it tells us where we can go, and what we can buy, to escape from, calm, soothe, or eliminate the feeling or fear it just gave us with advertising and programming specifically designed to generate that emotion. And it works! It works perfectly - almost every time - with the vast majority of people. Just look at the labels in your closet, and the food you eat during the day; if you watch a lot of television, you'll notice these things in the programs and commercials you watch.

And, if you hate your body, watching shows about "sexy" superstars in expensive clothes and skimpy swimsuits isn't helping your self-esteem, either - the diet food commercials they run during those kinds of shows is testament to the fact that advertisers understand who is watching these shows and how they feel about themselves. And, believe me when I tell you that they care a lot more about making money than they do about the harmful effects of the carefully chosen words and images they are implanting in your psyche. If you must watch television, do yourself a favor and select programming that empowers and uplifts you - gossip, drama, tragedy, and people-watching shows are designed to do the exact opposite.

Anxiety Attacks and The Pain They Cause

Anxiety Attacks (aka Panic Attacks) are the manifestations of a mental disorder that 95% of the time don't have any effect on the sufferers' daily lives. But that other 5% of the time, they have experiences that are extremely excruciating. Experiences that other people could not understand unless they have gone through one themselves. Anxiety attacks can come at any time and any where. Sometimes there is a definite trigger like an overly stressful situation, and other times it sneaks up on you when you least expect it. This article is for people who have never gone through the "hell" of an anxiety attack, to help them understand what we go through and why telling us to "calm down" just doesn't do the trick.

I have had anxiety attacks during every possible situation, and one is never like the other. I have had an anxiety attack while watching T.V., driving to work, talking on the phone, and even after waking up from a deep sleep. I have never been able to predict it, but I am very well aware when it is about to start. Now it's your turn to put yourself in the position of a anxiety sufferer and really try feel what they feel during a severe anxiety attack!

It starts with a strange feeling all through your body. like a rush, but those who suffer from anxiety attacks know that this is not a good feeling. Several other symptoms follow, but they don't always come in the same order. For me, my heart would start racing and beating so hard that I could feel it throughout my body. Then the fear strikes and I have this undeniable feeling that there is something terribly wrong and I am going to die of a heart attack at any moment. I would then begin to hyperventilate and could not catch my breath no matter what I tried to do. My arms and legs would begin to tingle, as the dizziness would begin to set in. Part of me would wish that I would pass out (which some people do), and the other part of me was fighting to stay awake. There was always the fear that I would never wake up. Time goes by so slow when you are in the midst of a bad anxiety attack, and unless you are prepared with some fast acting anti-anxiety meds, you are inevitably on the way to the emergency room.

I went through this hell for nearly eight years. I can still remember my first anxiety attack like it was yesterday. I was so scared it took me weeks to get passed it. Of, course the next logical step would be medication, which of course I complied with. Paxil was my medication of choice, and at first it did nothing to stop my anxiety attacks. Eventually they increased the dosage to where I was able to notice a difference. For a while, a year would go by without a single anxiety attack.

Unfortunately, a life without anxiety attacks meant a life controlled by Paxil. The side effects were horrible. It was like I had no emotion at all. I couldn't get excited, I couldn't get sad, and honestly I don't even remember feeling happy. Not to mention my desire for the opposite sex had all, but disappeared. So I would experiment and try to take myself off the Paxil, but the painful withdrawals would always bring me back. In fact, the withdrawal symptoms would actually spark a major anxiety attack! I felt like I was trapped.

I felt like there was nothing that I could do. That doctors wanted to keep giving medication and my friends were complaining about my zombie-like state. But then there was one doctor's visit that changed my life. In the waiting room, I met a girl who was being weened off of her anti-anxiety medications, I was so jealous I had to ask her how and why she was doing it. She said she had learned a way to control her anxiety attacks without the meds. And now she was well on her way of becoming medication free. And for the first time in probably a year, I had this strange feeling a excitement come over me. She gave me all the information she had, and I actually skipped my doctor's appointment to go home and check it out.

My life has changed now, and I am living it without any anxiety attacks, any medications, and any fear! If you wanted to know what happened after I left that doctor's office then check this out!
