Angrophobia - #7595
For as long as I can remember, I’ve struggled with extreme fear and anxiety whenever someone around me gets angry. I recently learned there’s a term for it—angrophobia. While it’s a relief to know I’m not alone in experiencing this, I’m looking for ways to manage and overcome it, especially through natural or ayurvedic approaches. Whenever someone raises their voice or shows even mild signs of anger, I start feeling panicked. My heart races, my palms sweat, and sometimes I feel frozen, unable to respond or defend myself. It’s even worse in situations where the anger is directed at me, but even witnessing others arguing triggers this intense fear. Could angrophobia be linked to past trauma, or is it more of a personality trait? I’ve read that ayurvedic remedies like brahmi, ashwagandha, and jatamansi can help with anxiety and emotional balance. Are these effective for managing the symptoms of angrophobia? If so, how should they be used—for example, in tea, capsules, or oils? I’ve also heard about meditation and pranayama for calming the mind. Are there specific techniques recommended for people with angrophobia? I’ve tried deep breathing exercises, but they don’t seem to help much during an actual panic episode. Would something like yoga therapy be more effective? If anyone here has dealt with angrophobia, I’d love to hear how you’ve managed it. Were natural remedies or ayurvedic approaches helpful, or did you need professional therapy as well? How long does it typically take to see improvement with ayurveda, and are there any lifestyle changes that can help reduce the frequency or intensity of these episodes? Lastly, are there any risks or side effects to using ayurvedic herbs for anxiety? I want to ensure that anything I try is safe for long-term use.
