Anxiety kitne time mein khatam hoti hai, isse bhi zyada zaroori sawaal hai — anxiety hoti kyun hai?
Mera personal experience kehata hai ki anxiety ke do major reasons hote hain:https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/anxiety-disorders
1. Negative Thought Pattern
2. Past Childhood Trauma
Pehle in dono ko samajhte hain, fir baat karenge anxiety se bahar aane ke duration ke baare mein.
1. Negative Thought Pattern – Dimaag Ka Default Mode
Anxiety ka main reason hai hamare brain mein negative thought patterns ka strong hona. Hamara brain jis tarah train hota hai, waise hi react karta hai.
Maan lo kisi Bollywood celebrity ki heart attack se death ho gayi. Har news channel is baat ko dikhata hai. Jiska thought pattern negative hoga, wo sochta hai:
“Mujhe bhi toh left hand mein kabhi kabhi pain hota hai…
Jab zyada chalta hoon toh saans bhi phoolti hai…
Kahi mujhe bhi heart attack na aa jaye?”
Dheere dheere dimaag overthink karta hai, physical symptoms feel hone lagte hain — thanda pasina, chest tightness, panic…
Aur jab ye intense level pe pahuchta hai, toh hota hai panic attack.https://khuljamind.com/anxiety-18/
Wahi dusri taraf, jinka thought pattern positive hota hai, wo sochta hai:
“Shayad us celebrity ko pehle se heart issue tha…
Main toh healthy hoon, recently test bhi normal aaye the.
Main exercise karta hoon, yoga bhi…
Tension lene ki baat nahi.”
Yeh sab difference hota hai thought pattern ke training ka.
Aap soch rahe hoge – negative thought ko positive mein kaise badlein?
Answer hai:
👉 CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
👉 Medication (agar required ho)
CBT aur medicine ke combination se aapke brain ke wiring patterns badle ja sakte hain. Jab positive patterns stronger ho jaate hain, toh negative thoughts weak hone lagte hain.
Aur tab anxiety slowly control mein aati hai.
2. Past Childhood Trauma – Zakhm Jo Andar Reh Jaate Hain
Maan lo aapke past mein kisi close relative ki sudden heart attack se death ho gayi ho. Bachpan mein aise moment aapke dil aur dimaag pe gehri chhap chhod jaate hain.
Mere case mein, mere papa ko bachpan mein heart attack aaya.
Na paise the, na help.
Logo ne mazaak banaya — “tumne life mein kabhi paisa bachaya hi nahi”.
Papa ke treatment ke liye karza liya, lekin us dar ne mere andar jagah bana li.
Phir ek raat, mujhe saans lene mein dikkat hone lagi.
Panic hua.
Lagaa heart attack aaya hai.
Chest mein current jaisa feel hua.
Main chillaya – “Mummy mujhe bacha lo!”
Gharwale hospital le gaye.
Doctor ne BP aur ECG check kiya — sab normal.
Card mein likha: Anxiety.
Injection diya aur kaha OPD mein check kara lena.
Tab mujhe pehli baar pata chala anxiety kya hoti hai.
Maine padha, samjha:
Negative thought pattern + past trauma = anxiety cycle
Aur waha se meri healing journey shuru hui.
Anxiety Khatm Hone Ka Koi Stopwatch Nahin Hota
Har insaan ka dimaag, body aur zindagi alag hoti hai — isliye healing ka time-frame bhi alag hota hai.
Lekin research-based ek realistic timeline yeh suggest karti hai:
| Phase | Typical Duration | Kya Badlav Mehsoos Hote Hain |
| Early Relief | 4–12 hafte (1–3 mahine) | Therapy ya meds shuru karne ke 4–6 hafton ke baad neend better hoti hai, intrusive thoughts kam hote hain, body tension halki padti hai (OCD & Anxiety Centers ke data ke hisaab se 79% logon ko 3–4 mahine mein relief milta hai) |
| Symptom Control | 3–6 mahine | CBT ke approx. 12–20 sessions complete, meds ka right dose set ho jaata hai. Zyada tar logon ki daily life normal hone lagti hai (Cleveland Clinic reports) |
| Sustained Remission | 6 mahine – 2 saal | Long-term recovery phase jahan aap triggers ko samajhne aur relapse ko handle karna seekh jaate ho (American Medical Association data) |
| Long-term Maintenance | Ongoing | Kuch logon ko lifelong light-care, booster CBT sessions ya low-dose meds ki zarurat padti hai. (ScienceDirect research ke according 9 saal baad bhi anxiety wapas aa sakti hai agar lifestyle na maintain ho) |
Anxiety Healing Time Mein Fark Kyun Padta Hai?
- Disorder Type & Severity
(Panic Disorder, GAD, Social Anxiety — sabka nature alag hota hai) - Treatment Combo
(CBT + Medication = Fastest & durable results) - Consistency & Lifestyle
(Sleep, exercise, journaling jaise “Night Dumb Writing” ka major impact hota hai) - Support System
(Family, friends, community ya therapist ka sahara zaroori hai) - Medical Factors
(Thyroid, gut health, hormonal imbalance — sab role play karte hain)
Kuch Myth-Busters (Jo Log Galat Samajhte Hain)
“Ek course of pills aur sab khatam.”
➡ SSRIs ko kaam karne mein 4–6 hafte lagte hain. Generally 6–12 mahine tak lena hota hai taaki relapse na ho.
“Ups & downs aaye toh main thik nahi ho raha.”
➡ Healing kabhi linear nahi hoti. Aapke Chapter 9 mein likhe jaise — relapse aur recovery natural cycle hai.
“Sirf willpower se manage kar lunga.”
➡ Possible hai, par CBT aur meds se recovery rate 7x zyada hoti hai (Medical Xpress meta-analysis).
Ek Practical Healing Roadmap
Har 4 hafte:
Symptom diary maintain karo + doctor/therapist review.
12 weeks milestone:
Core belief re-training, exposure tasks aur meds dosage fine-tuning.
6-month reflection:
Apne triggers ki list banao + relapse prevention plan likho (CBT worksheets).
1 saal ke baad:
Lifestyle audit karo — sleep, food, fitness, purpose-driven goals pe kaam.
Yaad Rakho: Anxiety Ko Finish Line Ki Tarah Mat Dekho
Anxiety ek mental challenge hai, jise manage karne ki skill develop ki ja sakti hai.
Agar aap consistent ho —
- Therapy + meds continue kar rahe ho
- Journaling, meditation, discipline follow kar rahe ho
toh 6 mahine – 2 saal ke beech mein aapki life drastically improve ho sakti hai.

5 Useful Techniques Jo Anxiety Se Jaldi Bahar Nikalne Mein Help Karti Hai
1. CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
CBT ek scientifically proven therapy hai jo anxiety, depression aur panic disorders ke liye world’s best treatment mani jaati hai. CBT ka main kaam hota hai aapke negative thought pattern ko challenge karna aur use positive pattern mein convert karna.https://www.apa.org/ptsd-guideline/patients-and-families/cognitive-behavioral
Hamare mind mein jo bhi mental health issue develop hota hai—wo kaafi had tak negativity ke repetition se hota hai. CBT usi cycle ko todta hai.
Jaise jaise aap negative thought ko question karna seekh jaate ho, aur unka healthy alternative sochna shuru karte ho, aapka brain naye pattern banata hai.
CBT aap ghar, college ya office mein bhi apply kar sakte ho. Pehle uncomfortable lagta hai, lekin practice ke baad anxiety level kam hota hai aur panic attacks control mein aate hain.
2. Positive Affirmations
Hamare parents ya teachers hamesha bolte hai: “Jo tum sochoge, wahi tumhare saath hoga.”
Yahi baat anxiety mein bhi apply hoti hai.
Aapka brain agar din bhar negative soch se bhara rahega, toh obvious hai body bhi waise hi react karegi. Isliye positive affirmation ek daily ritual banao.
Subah uthte hi positive affirmation suno, jaise:
- “Main safe hoon.”
- “Mujhe kuch nahi hoga.”
- “Main anxiety ko harakar strong ban raha hoon.”
YouTube par bhot saare free affirmations available hain. Chaaho toh khud ke affirmations record karke bhi sun sakte ho.
Raat ko sone se pehle bhi affirmation suno—yeh brain ke negative pattern ko todne mein madad karta hai.
3. Meditation & Breathing Exercise
Anxiety ka main problem hai “racing thoughts”. Aapka mind rukta hi nahi. Meditation aur breathing exercises se aap focus aur calmness wapas paate ho.
Start small:
- Apne bed ke saamne wall pe ek black dot bana do.
- Roz sirf 2 minute us dot ko dekho bina dimaag bhatakaye.
- Jaise-jaise focus bade, time 10–15 min tak badhao.
Phir eyes close karke deep breathing pe shift karo: - Naak se slowly saans lo… fir chhodo
- 10 reps = 1 set. Roz 2–3 set karo
Yeh sirf focus nahi, heart aur lungs health ke liye bhi badiya hai. Pehle thoda uncomfortable lagta hai, lekin routine banane par anxiety par amazing control milta hai.
4. Doctor se Consultation Lena
Bhai, jitna bhi yoga, meditation, routine change karo… jab tak ek baar doctor se milke clear diagnosis nahi karwate, tab tak recovery adhuri hai.
Kuch log darte hai, kya log kya sochenge… ki main pagal ho gaya hoon?
Arre bhai, anxiety koi character flaw nahi—yeh treatable medical condition hai.
✔️ Anxiety ke liye 6 mahine se 1 saal tak ke medicine course hote hain
✔️ Doctor lifestyle + CBT recommend karte hain
✔️ Meds se brain ka chemical imbalance thik hota hai
Isliye shame nahi, action lo. Pehle doctor, fir discipline.https://khuljamind.com/anxiety-17/
5. Screentime Kam Karo
Aaj har banda phone ka addict hai.
- Subah uthte hi phone
- Raat ko bathroom tak leke jaana
- Fake lifestyle, influencer ke millions dekhna
Ye sab comparison, jealousy aur inferiority complex banata hai—jo anxiety ka main fuel hai.
Rules banao apne liye: - Sone se 1 ghanta pehle screen bandh
- Uthte hi 1 ghanta tak phone se door
- Only growth-based content dekhna (jaise podcasts, therapy reels)
Screentime kam karoge toh mind ka clutter clear hoga, aur anxiety kam.
Conclusion: Anxiety ka The End?
Anxiety ke thik hone ka koi exact stopwatch nahi hota. Lekin agar aap:
- Meds + CBT + positive lifestyle maintain karte ho
- Affirmation + meditation ko routine banate ho
- Screentime manage karte ho
- Apne fear se bhaagte nahi ho
Toh aap anxiety ko hara sakte ho.
