It is important to remember that stress is the main cause of anxiety. They are actually placed in the same category and treated similarly. This diagram shows the different types of stresses, and how much of each type a person with anxiety has. Daily stresses of the day's activities and relationships cause about a quarter of the stress, daily worrying and anxiety cause another quarter, another quarter is filled with unresolved issues caused by the anxiety and stress, and when the day is done, there is very little room left over for stress before a major meltdown. Taking away the "not dealt with by REM," and the daily negative introspection categories leave much more room for a healthy, normal life style. This diagram gives a great visual as to why it's important to take into consideration all of these methods of dealing with anxiety, because they eliminate so much stress!!
