The cause of Depressions and Anxiety. Repressed Emotion = Anxiety & Depression

From a very young age we are told not to cry or show our feelings when we have upsetting experiences. So we learn to push any upsetting situations into the subconscious part of our mind and conveniently forget them. The emotion connected to those experiences is repressed too and it can cause anxious feelings.

Over the years we continue to repress our emotions, the pressure in our subconscious mind is getting stronger as more and more emotion is repressed until there is an emotional trigger. This could be bereavement, redundancy, failure of a marriage, relationship, business or just stress. k

We then start to get symptoms of anxiety, tearful, stomach churning, panic attacks, insomnia, phobias and many more. As we continue to repress emotion over the years the symptoms get stronger and depression sets in.
