Let me show you your 'Roadmap To Wellness'
The answers by yeye and efx should help so I wont go into it to far as there onto it. There is one proses that I would like to add and that is the proses of thought. First of we get the thought, second we wrap the thought with emotion, then if we can get over our emotions our mind can move into seek and search, and then we can take action either say something or do something, and then we have created knowledge or knowing and that’s the 5 step proses of healthy thought. We can get stuck in a loop of think and emote and this is were we can become anxious . We also have Primary and secondary emotions like needs and wants they are two different emotions you may need a operation but I bet you don’t really want one. So learn to take control of your thoughts and don’t get caught in emotion it can stop us from seeing the clear picture. I hope this helps in understand how our mind works through understanding and acceptance we can move forward.
Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI – Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this strange herb called “St John’s Wort” – it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.

You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to….

If you define bravery in terms of the number of times ones seeks confrontation intentionally, then yes bravery could be perceived as being affected. If you define bravery in terms of intensity i dont beleive it is affected beyond natural levels that would normally be displayed in any given situation.I don’t believe bravery is reduced or increased beyond your natural tendencies. however, you may choose your battles more carelessly when suffering from anxiety disorders. This is basically due to being more sensitive about life. we tend to focus on the more unimportant things. This is not to say you will become more aggressive or less aggressive. Thinking time on what aggravates us is certainly increased, being unfulfilled ect. But from person to person, it will be different in terms of increased aggression, outward confrontation, inward bahaviour or avoidance, however, in general, behaviour is usually increased in either inward or outward behaviour or eradic bahaviour. But the level of bravery attached to any given situation i dont beleive will change beyond what you would normally do in that situation.
Please contact me if more help is needed, i have a lot of experience in ocd through personal experience.
