It really depends on the case. Some people just relax and within a few minutes are better. Some learn meditation. Some go to psychologists. Some go to massage therapists. Some drink or smoke pot. It really depends on the severity and your personality. I personally can never get over nervousness when I'm at the doctor's office or dentist's, but a few deep breaths make me calm for important exams.

First, there are several medications that your doctor can prescribe that are effective. However, symptoms can be overcome with time a effort so you don't have to become dependent on medication. We are all told diet and exercise, but really this works. You need to eat well to exercise well, and the exercise increases endorphines in the brain that help prevent symptoms of depression. ( Depression can cause anxiety ) People have different recovery times, but there is help out there for everyone.

My basic answer is to learn meditation. But there's a problem with the question: your desire to get *rid* of these emotions is itself contributing to them. The way to relate to emotions is to experience them fully -- a healthy mind will open up to the emotion and allow it to flow through its natural "life cycle". Our unwillingness to experience certain emotions is the source of all sorts of psychological and developmental problems. All human beings have a range of emotions from sadness to anger to fear to joy, etc. You can't selectively turn on or off just the emotions you want to have: if you suppress one you suppress them all. Part of the problem is that we live in a culture which really does not understand this: we're conditioned to believe that certain emotions are acceptable and others are shameful or wrong -- e.g. boys should not feel fearful, girls should not feel aggressive, etc. But the only way to master emotional health is to be willing to have the whole soup. Note that this does *not* mean that you should "vent" those emotions -- we need to be responsible for our actions at all times. So the fact that you may feel anger, for example, does not mean you should vent it on someone else. The idea is to *have* the emotion, not act it out. When you can allow your nervousness and anxiety to be, they'll allow you to be. You will find that they naturally evolve into something else if you provide an open awareness in which they can do so. That's what meditation is really good for, if you learn it properly. A teacher is very important for that, don't think you're going to pick up a book and master it, although such self-teaching may provide some benefit.

simple be confident enough do the things normally you get satisfied with because self satisfaction is more important then try to develop the quality of controlling ur mind bcoz ur the boss u need to control it

i can never sleep .it sucks

Well, when I'm a bit anxious, my left hand goes cold and my right hand hot. A bit more, I start to shake. A bit more, I start pacing. Usually it gets to the point when I just throw up

Music. Something uplifting and inspirational. It's important not to aggrevate the condition with negative lyrics. Everybody's different but that works for me.

If you mean, what do we do to get over the anxiety; I suggest taking deep breaths. Close your eyes if you can and picture something calming. I also find splashing cold water on my face helps sometimes. If a particular environment is making you feel anxious, and you are able to, I would suggest leaving it (ie. going to the bathroom, stepping outside) until you feel calmer.

yeah i have the same problem to, but my anxiety is really really bad, like i can never ever sleep, cuz i keep forgetting to breathe or something really stupid, and i keep moving around, but its going away a bit now, cuz im always trying to think of the bright side, but still how do you meditate? like do you just have to sit down and close your eyes and think or do something positive? and when i smoke a cigerrete it gets worse, so i dont smoke cigerrets, but thats a good thing. but does smoking pot work? like i always do, but i stoped cuz i got scared my anxiety would get worse, but would it work? or getting drunk?

I take a moment to remember that there are at this very moment at least several thousand people on this earth who are just as nervous about something as I am. We are sharing the exact same emotion. I say a quick prayer for them hoping they find the strength to do what they need to do. By that time I am smiling and back on track. You will never be alone in what you feel. Good luck and don't forget to say a quick prayer for me when you are nervous. cheers!

I think nervousness is an emotion we feel when we are about to do something which is very important for us. We want to be sucessful at that very event, and it is only the thought of failure at that very thing which makes us nervous. So, I think just keeping your mind calm and not giving a lot of thought about the result and just concentrating on what you are doing will help a lot. This will make the situation les complicated and your output will go up.

Well I always think that everything will be allright in no time and I am the best ....That calms my all anxiety and nervousness towards anything ...

stop caring so much about things

When you are nervous about something it means you really truly care about that thing! so to be nervous is a good thing! =]
