What exactly is Anxiety?

We’ve all heard the term anxiety, we’ve all experienced it.  But defining anxiety is a whole lot harder.  For each person it feels different and manifests in very different ways.  But to define it, anxiety is the body and mind’s reaction to stressful and dangerous ideas before a specific event.  There is a sense of a persistent worry and fear about the everyday.  Anxiety is the dread of what is to come.

The American Psychological Association defines anxiety as “an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure.”[1]

Adults and Children experience anxiety.  And anxiety can last for minutes or days at a time.

These feelings might arise before the first day of school, not knowing what it might entail, going to work with a deadline coming up, giving a big speech over zoom, or when PMS arises for women.

How does your anxiety manifest?

There are all different kinds of anxiety.  It is also important to note that anxiety is different depending on each unique person.  The body experiences anxiety when it goes into a fight or flight type of high alert. 

There is no specific model of anxiety, but here are some common physical factors, anxiety can reveal itself in the body physically as rapid or intense breathing, sweating, feeling tired, or a faster heart rate.  It might just feel like butterflies in the stomach or it can result in nightmares and panic attacks.  Depending on the situation, the physicalized anxiety can also change.  Your anxiety won’t always feel the same in your body.

But the other concerns that can be created are the feelings that are the mental issues that come with anxiety.  Our feelings can become all-consuming and interfere with daily living, we feel this when we have our period.  Anxiety is a common symptom women experience during PMS, the time right before the period.  About 80% of women encounter some form of PMS and anxiety is one of many types of emotional symptoms like stress and irritability that girls can endure.

Anxiety is a normal occurrence for most people.  These feelings could appear when you move to a new place, start something new, are leading a group of people, and can actually push you to work harder to do your best in these situations.  But at the same time, overwhelming anxiety can also crop up during your menstrual cycle and feel completely overwhelming during PMS.

What causes anxiety?

Scientists and doctors don’t completely understand what causes anxiety, according the Mayo Clinic, “Life experiences such as traumatic events appear to trigger anxiety disorders in people who are already prone to anxiety. Inherited traits also can be a factor.[2]  The National Institute of Mental Health echoes this saying that genetic and environmental factors play a role in developing anxiety and an anxiety disorder.[3]

An anxiety disorder is different from generalized anxiety.  Everyone experiences anxiety in points in their lives.  But an anxiety disorder is when the anxiety doesn’t go away for weeks or months at a time. 

According to the Mayo Clinic these factors could increase your risk of developing an anxiety disorder:

  • Trauma.  Children who have experienced trauma or abuse are at a higher risk of developing an anxiety disorder at some time during life.
  • Stress.  Any kind of big event or stress buildup can trigger excessive anxiety, this could be a death of a family member, worrying about finances, or having a health condition or serious illness.
  • Having Relatives with an Anxiety Disorder.  An anxiety disorder can be inherited and genetic
  • Alcohol and/or Drugs.  The misuse of alcohol or drugs can cause the worsening of anxiety.
  • Mental Health Disorders.  If you have another mental health disorder you could be more prone to also experiencing an anxiety disorder

Anxiety is something that everyone experiences at some point during their lives, but some people might experience it more than others, it really depends on your physical and genetic makeup and the events in your particular life.

 


You have anxiety, so do I, we all experience Anxiety

We need to better understand our anxiety.  No doubt it is a frightening time.  We’re in the midst of a global pandemic and many places are shut down and some keep trying to find ways to reopen.  You might be in an area of the country or the world where the coronavirus infection rates are continuing to climb, or you might be bracing to discover what might come next.  And the real issue is we just don’t know when this is going to end.

For many people, the uncertainty of having no end in sight is the hardest thing to handle in the pandemic.  We still don’t understand how long this global event will last and for many of us, our offices keep pushing our return dates farther and farther into the future.  With an uncertain future, we can all too easily catastrophize and spiral out into overwhelming anxiety and stress.

Everyone is experiencing higher levels of stress and anxiety right now.  The American Psychological Association just printed in their latest news release “We are facing a national mental health crisis that could yield serious health and social consequences for years to come.”[4]  COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the lives of all Americans disrupting work, health care, relationships, the economy, and education with more people dying in the US at 215,000 deaths than in World War 1 (116,516 deaths), the Korean War (36,516), and the Vietnam War (58,209) combined.[5]  And behind this devastating loss is the anxiety and stress for friends and families of those affected, and all Americans thrown into the chaos of this nation.

78% of adults say that the pandemic is a significant source of stress and anxiety in their life and 67% say that they experienced an increase in stress over the course of the shutdowns and life during the pandemic.

We’ve been in the pandemic for seven months now and trying to acclimate to the new reality and societal upheaval of the pandemic, but Americans are still struggling to cope with the disruptions.  78% of adults say that the pandemic is a significant source of stress in their life and 67% say that they experienced an increase in stress and anxiety over the course of the shutdowns and life during the pandemic.[6]  As frustrating as this all may be, the important thing to take away is that EVERYONE feels the stressors and anxieties of life right now.   The whole world is going through the same process of mourning, grief, anger, and anxiety during this time.  We all might be in different cycles of grief, but we’re all riding out this pandemic together.

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, 40 million adults in the US or 18% of the population suffers from an anxiety disorder, when anxiety doesn’t go away after a few hours or days, and women are twice as likely to be affected as men.[7]  Is this because of PMS?  I know my anxiety can become unmanageable during my cycle.  Add to it a global pandemic and life is pretty hard.  Why do we still have to have our Periods during a pandemic?  Come on body?  But I have been finding ways to help my anxiety on my own.

 


All the Things I’ve Done to Help my Anxiety

How does anxiety keep plaguing me?!  Will it ever go away?  At least that’s what I thought before I tried a new supplement that targets your anxiety during PMS.

For me, my anxiety would show up every month like clockwork.  It followed my monthly cycle, and my PMS was unreal, I would start getting all these irrational fears about everyday occurrences, and my mind would start to go in circles about things that aren’t a big deal.  I’d start to think about some little thing that I’d done during the day and keep thinking that I should have done it another way, or that I really bothered my boyfriend doing something, but when I’d ask him about it, I didn’t bother him at all.

Take it from me, I’ve tried literally everything to help my anxiety.  I tried every crazy scheme, but for me, I realized I needed a supplement to help me. 

And it’s helped so many other women too!

“I have been taking this for about 4 months now. I have seen significant improvement in my mood, anxiety, and lack of patience, lol. No longer having crazy mood swings. I will continue to take this. I am very happy with the results. I was super skeptical, but I’m sold now. Thanks, Jubilance! <3” – JL

But before I found Jubilance for PMS to help me with my never-ending PMSing, let me tell you all the mad things I’ve done to help with my anxiety. 

I’ve tried breathing to the rhythm of nursery rhymes, I’ve tried writing down random names to distract myself, I’ve even tried breathing upside down.  Sounds crazy?  It was.  I finally realized that these crazy ideas weren’t working and I really needed to find a supplement to better manage the ups and downs, especially during my PMS with my period.

 


 

How to prepare your body for Anxiety Instead of Punishing it

You sometimes talk about anxiety like it has a power over you, because that’s exactly what it feels like, but that doesn’t need to be the case!  We can prepare for having anxiety, realize we have it and then reduce the amount of anxiety we actually have!

It’s important to change our perspective on anxiety. 

Anxiety is part of life.  It’s part of how we cope with stress, with the everyday, with the madness of the world.  It tells us that we’re human.  To be human is to have anxiety and all of our emotions are ok!  Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but now we have to reframe how we see it. 

In the course of reframing how we deal with anxiety, we can prepare our body to better deal with it by eating healthier, meditating, exercising, and taking supplements to help us feel a bit better.

We need to change our thought process on anxiety.

I know I think about all the things I did wrong in the day or how “ugh I just feel so stressed I need to cancel all my plans and eat all the sugar ever.” But what if you made the choice to say “I have anxiety and everyone has it, but I’m going to do something to help myself feel a little better.”

Saying something and doing it are extremely hard.  And you will never be perfect at pushing the anxiety away, but your body will tell you what it needs, whether it’s that extra piece of chocolate or to just take a breath.  You need to listen to what your body has to say about those anxieties and stay attuned. 

And with this article, you’re better informed about anxiety, how it manifests and ideas that you can use to help those stresses.  Knowledge is power and now you can start to do something about it.

 


The 7 Types of Anxiety and How We’ve Defeated it with a single supplement, Jubilance

Did you know that there are 7 different types of anxiety?

When you start to understand the different types and categories of anxiety, you can better tackle how to stop the effects in their tracks.  You can learn what types of anxiety plague you and the differences between anxiety and anxiety disorders.  How would this work?

Learning about the symptoms you might have from anxiety, you can then better zero in on the remedies that could help you to ease anxiety’s symptoms.

A remedy that can help with all the different categories of anxiety is called Jubilance.  

The supplement helps with the emotional side of PMS, and one of those issues is anxiety.

 Scientific studies show that during PMS women with severe PMS mood symptoms send much larger amounts of glucose to a specific area of the brain, the cerebellum.

If there is not enough glucose (energy), the cerebellum can’t properly perform important functions like mood regulation, managing fear, pleasure responses, and motor control.  This leads to the four core mood symptoms of PMS:  anxiety, gloominess, stress, and irritability.  You may have experienced these same mood alterations outside of PMS when you are hungry.

Elissa started Jubilance and said “First month of taking this every day, and the difference is remarkable. After my third child, I could count on being borderline nonfunctional two full weeks out of the month — extreme irritability, severe mood swings, anxiety, so much crying. SO much crying. Not this month. I just feel normal.”

“First month of taking this every day, and the difference is remarkable. After my third child, I could count on being borderline nonfunctional two full weeks out of the month — extreme irritability, severe mood swings, anxiety, so much crying. SO much crying. Not this month. I just feel normal.” -Elissa

Occasional anxiety is a part of everyone’s life, it’s expected and comes and goes.  You might feel anxious when there’s a problem at work, before you make a big decision, or before a test, but there’s a difference between anxiety and anxiety disorders.  Anxiety disorders are when the anxiety doesn’t go away and can get worse over time.  These symptoms can then interfere with your daily life such as school, relationships and work performance.[8]  In the case of anxiety, we won’t dive into the disorders, but we’ll go through the categories of anxiety that you might experience in daily life.

We’ll now go through the different Anxiety Categories and see how Jubilance could help with all of them.

  1. Home Life Anxiety.  We’re all constantly in our homes now during the pandemic, whether you’re at home more with your family, or just working from home, there’s something stressful about looking at the same four walls ALL THE TIME.  Trust me, I’m in a tiny one bedroom in New York City, my house gives me anxiety just looking at it.  But it also makes me anxious because it’s constantly messy! 

 How do you stay organized when you working from home?  I desperately need some tips.

I’ve been making lists of what I want to accomplish at home, you know, what closets to tackle and going through my deep clean list.  I’m also taking Jubilance to keep me sane each day, it just takes the edge off while I straighten out my pantry.

  1. PMS Anxiety.  As women, we all know what this is.  During that time of the month we experience PMS in the forms of anxiety, stress, gloominess, and irritability.  This happens to me every month like clockwork, but I LOVE Jubilance, the supplement I take every day to alleviate these symptoms. 

I can actually feel like myself and not want to eat a pound of chocolate.  It’s like I get a week of my life back when I’m not feeling so anxious at all points during that week.

What makes you feel a little anxious when you’re on your period and PMS-ing?  What sets you off?  When you start to remember what might make you feel anxious at that time of the month, you can better understand when it might happen.

  1. Societal Anxiety.  There’s so much societal unrest right now.  In a time of upheaval in America it’s hard to sort through how you can even be feeling right now.

  1. Political Anxiety.  We’re in an election year and it seems like it is never going to end right?  No matter what your political ideology, it’s important to go out and make your voice heard through your vote.   This can cause a lot of anxiety right now, there’s so much uncertainty in what the world will look like with the candidates and how a change of power might even look.  With our families battling over beliefs it’s a hard time of year in an equally and harder year of a pandemic to be dealing with anxiety.

Jubilance can help fight the anxiety of the political times and those debates you have with your family members during the holidays.  Thanksgiving might be more manageable this year with you able to remain stress free from those in laws.

  1. Work Anxiety.  Very few of us are going into the office now, most of us are working from home for the very first time.  Regardless of what you’re up to, we’re in a period of upheaval and change in how we relate to work in the United States.

It’s hard not to have those face-to-face conversations with colleagues and to have that desk buddy.  It can be difficult to work by yourself and especially hard if you’re an extrovert like me!

  1. Relationship Anxiety.  People are either getting divorced or getting engaged.  What are your friends up to during this time?  Even without the pandemic, it’s always hard with your partner, there are days when you’re tired, or he’s not taking out the trash, or your kids are driving you crazy, patience, especially when everyone is home, all the time, is difficult.

Feeling anxious in your relationships with your partner, children, and friends are all natural feelings but might be exacerbated now with a pandemic.

  1. Pandemic Anxiety.  2020, need I say more?  This whole year is anxiety inducing, I feel like I’m constantly PMS-ing and the whole world is going through this.  Everyone right now is experiencing greater levels of anxiety than ever before.  See below for more on the pandemic.

Do you have tips on how you’re staving off the various types of anxiety?  I really want to know!   Please email me at alice@jubilance.com and let me know how you’re staying sane.

 


Coronavirus Anxiety and Coping with the Stress of Uncertainty

Especially right now, we’re all experiencing forms of anxiety in the uncertainty of our world.  The stress could be getting to you about your health, our families and how they’re doing during these times, finances could be strained, the social and political upheaval of being in an election year, and even the question of whether to go home for the holidays or to stay safely away.  It’s hard to be on your own for so long. There’s so much anxious energy in the air, it’s hard to talk to friends about anything other than the madness of this year, but you are not powerless.  Below I’ve included some tips to get through this anxious and stressful time.

 


How do I Stop Anxiety without a Prescription?

There are a number of ways we can help our anxiety in a healthy way. 

We can calm the physical symptoms in our body and stop our mind from racing, but we can’t stop anxiety from happening, particularly during the menstrual cycle and PMS, but we’ve found some quick tricks to help, along with more permanent lifestyle changes.

These remedies help us find healthier ways to live our lives and better promote caring for our bodies, but there are also supplements we recommend for fighting off anxiety.

  • Get some sleep.  This is key.  This is the time that your body and brain are given to heal.  According to Anxiety.org, “sleep gives the body’s neurons a chance to shut down and repair themselves, without that opportunity, neurons become so depleted and polluted through normal cellular activities that they begin to malfunction.”[9]  Sleep is the key to when your body can repair from the stresses and anxieties of the day.
    • You want to get eight hours of sleep in a typical night for the best effect.
    • It’s important to have a sleep routine so you can stick to the schedule.  During these uncertain times, it’s easy to stay up late and start work whenever, but you might want to stick to a schedule to help your body.
    • Create your own sleep sanctuary so you love your bed and bedroom.  Maybe this means updating those blankets and pillows, or listening to some classical music.  You also might want to spray your pillows with some lavender scent for relaxing.
    • Wake up with the sun!  Let the sun wake you up or find an alarm clock that turns on a bright light.  This helps you set your biological clock and you can get a SAD light to help with this!

  • Exercise.  Do active activities that you love and make you feel good about yourself.  You can exercise with others to keep you on track and help you also stay social.  Exercising also helps you release anxiety, relieve stress, and managing mood swings.
    • What’s your favorite active activity?  I’ve gotten really into biking!  I take my bike into Central Park and meet a friend to bike around the perimeter.  Not only am I staying active, I’m socializing and it brings my mood up so much!
    • Join an exercise class online!  There are a number of studios and free events where you can do Yoga or Pilates with others from the safety and warmth of your home!  This can help you feel connected to others while feeling better about yourself!

  • Meditate.  Meditation can actually help to reduce anxiety and stress, as well as to increase calm and focus.  If you haven’t tried it before, start small and then you can grow.
    • We actually have meditations that we’ve made for your PMS and specifically for anxiety and stress.  If you haven’t tried them, you can find them here!
    • Meditation can help you with breathing.  And when you breathe in calmly and deeply, you can find yourself calmer.

  • Stay informed, but don’t go crazy with the news right now.  There’s so much going on this year and you want to stay informed, but there’s also a lot of misinformation and sensationalizing coverage that just makes you more anxious.  Now is the time to try to be more discerning about your news sources.
    • Go to the source for your information, whether that’s the World Health Organization or CDC for more info about COVID or the BBC or a news site you trust for your other news
    • Limit how often you check in with the news.  It’s so hard to keep hearing what’s happening this year, and often, news outlets have to sensationalize the news because when is there 24 hours of things to discuss?  I like to just look at the news in the morning when I wake up.  I get The New York Times quick review of what’s happening and that’s my news for the day.
    • Take a Media Break.  Often anxiety can occur from social media and it’s ok to take a break.  Take the day off from the news and your computer.  On the weekend, try to say no to checking your phone constantly.

  • Breathing exercises.  If you find yourself breathing heavily or breathless from anxiety there are techniques you can apply to start feeling a little better.
    • On our podcast, Weekly Woman, we talk to Stephanie Dalfonzo who helps us with breathing exercises.  Be sure to check out the episode here:  https://jubilance.com/hypnotist-anxiety-expert-stephanie-dalfonzo-gives-us-tips-about-coping-with-stress-during-covid/
    •   Practice Square breathing.  Breathe in for four counts, hold it for four counts, breathe out for four counts, and hold it again for four counts.  Repeat this process.  This is a great exercise for anxiety because you can do it anywhere, and no one will know what you’re doing.
    • Belly Breathing.  Place one hand on your diaphragm and lie on the floor.  Make sure your belly is going up and down as opposed to your chest.  When you’re breathing from your belly, you’re breathing more fully.

  • Eat a Healthy Diet.  Pretty obvious, but very important.  Eating balanced meals can help you with your overall physical and mental health and thus will help you with the stresses and anxieties of PMS and for daily life.
    • Try to be consistent with when you eat as well.  You don’t want to feel that gnawing hunger if you forget to eat, because it can make it harder to sleep later.  You also want to have dinner three hours before you try to go to sleep.
    • Pay attention to food sensitivities.  Sometimes different foods or additives can cause you to feel anxious or stressed.  It depends on the person but take stock of what you’re eating and how it makes you feel.
    • Drink lots of water.  You want to make sure you’re not dehydrated, it will help you feel better and have better skin!

  • Try Jubilance for PMS, a supplement that in clinical trials helped improve PMS related anxiety by 51%!  Jubilance is clinically proven to relieve your worst PMS mood symptoms.  Without PMS throwing your emotions like stress and anxiety in a blender each month, your life has room to bloom.
    • In peer-reviewed clinical trials, just one month of Jubilance significantly relieved PMS related anxiety, gloominess, irritability, and stress.
    • Plus hundreds of women LOVE their Jubilance and have found help with their anxiety!

  • Focus on what you can control.  Whether it’s because we’re in a time of massive upheaval or your anxiety is always there, there are so many things outside of our control and so we need to really focus on the questions with the answers we understand.  When you feel yourself getting caught up in the frustrations of the unknown and the anxiety builds up, think about everything that you know based on that problem you’re stressing about.
    • With the Coronavirus, you know that you can wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your face, you can stay home as much as possible, and avoid all non essential shopping and travel.  There is so much we know now about the virus, we need to focus on the things we can do to stay safe and less anxious.
    • Write down your specific worries that you might have and then you can move them from your mind to a piece of paper.  After you do this, try to make a list of possible solutions, nothing is perfect, just include whatever comes to mind.  After you evaluate the two lists, draw up a plan of action, so you feel activated and more in charge, often we feel anxious when we don’t know what to do.

  • Stay connected with friends and family.  We all might be socially distancing, but it’s still important to be with others.  Humans are social creatures and we need connection.  Isolation can make our anxiety continue to grow, that’s why it’s important to reach out for support, even if we’re far away when we socialize.
    • Make a plan to keep in touch.  Have a weekly check in with friends or organize a book club, game night, or movie watch over zoom.
    • Social Media might be great right now!  Join a community where you can talk about a TV show you love or a book you’re currently reading.
    • Go old school and find a pen pal.  Write those letters!  Make it fun and age the paper or find fun stamps.  Send postcards to friends you haven’t seen in a long time.
    • Don’t constantly talk about 2020.  Talk about all the fun things you’re doing, the TV, the books, the games you’re playing.  You don’t want to keep circling with your anxieties of COVID.

  • Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol.  Alcohol can cause anxiety to worsen and become more prolonged.  And both of these can stimulate the brain and cause an inability to sleep.  When you drink alcohol it becomes hard to enter the REM (restorative rapid eye movement) stage of sleep when you go into a heavy sleep and so you won’t feel as rested in the morning.
    • Try to avoid caffeine after 2:30pm to make sure you’re ready to go to sleep at night.  You might want to try an herbal tea instead!

 


 Anxiety no More with Jubilance for PMS

The real secret to my success in fighting off my anxiety and stress has been taking Jubilance for PMS once a day, every day to help me with my cycle.  The daily frustrations are of course still there, but I’m able to help myself get out of my cyclical thinking and take a breath before I respond to my anxieties.

Jamie said “This stuff has changed my life!”

Let me tell you, it’s changed mine too.  No more stolen week, I get to have my life back EVERY DAY of the month!

They’re the only clinically tested supplement on the market for anxiety and stress during PMS and let me tell you, it works!  

And unlike those other supplements and vitamins on the market, Jubilance has only two ingredients, you know exactly what is going into your body, vitamin C and oxaloacetate (part of the krebs cycle).

Between all the pseudo-science and half-truths out there, choosing what to put in your body can seem overwhelming. Supplements are no exception, which is why Jubilance has reinvented your support for PMS — minus the B.S.

It’s also risk free!  It’s super easy to start and easy to cancel and they want you to love Jubilance just as much as I do, but if you don’t there’s a money back guarantee, so there’s really no excuse to try it!

These women talk specifically about how Jubilance helped with their anxiety!

“It has been incredibly helpful for me! I left my brand new bottle in another state by mistake and missed a cycle recently – it was very noticeable after using for the previous three months. Brain fog, anxiety, sadness, and crazy fatigue in the days leading up to my period. I finally got a new order and do not intend to miss another cycle anytime soon.” — Kate

“Not gonna lie. My period started today and I had no idea it was coming. Usually my epic emotional meltdowns the week before are a dead giveaway. Pretty drastic drop in anxiety symptoms and definitely less doom and gloom. I wasn’t sure at first but now honestly think it helps.” — Jenny

“I finally bought Jubilance a month ago and cannot express my gratitude enough thank you! I have struggled horribly for over 15 years with awful emotional PMS issues especially anxiety. Within a week the difference was tremendous, I feel like me again after so many years! <3 <3 <3” — Shasta

Anxiety is something that we all experience, but it doesn’t have to control our lives.  Find the solution that works for you and keep on breathing.  This is a tough year, but we’ll make it through.  We don’t have to continue to be anxious.
