IN my hotel room in Lumbini, instead of a Gideon Bible, there was a copy of "The Teachings of Buddha." I searched it and found a lesson appropriate to the place: "Soft zephyrs pass through the trees of that Pure Land and stir the fragrant curtains of the pavilions and pass away in sweet cadences of music."
It was evening, and a cooling breeze stirred the flower gardens of the small hotel where birds twittered to mark the fading of daylight. For millions of Buddhists, this isolated pocket of Nepal is holy ground. They believe that the Lord Buddha was born here more than 2,600 years ago as Siddhartha Gautama, a prince of the Shakya clan whose people still live among the rice fields and groves of the subtropical Terai, a region of Nepal along the border with India.
Though pilgrims have apparently been coming here for a very long time, archeological work around the birthplace has only recently begun in earnest. And Nepal, with the help of Buddhists the world over, is turning hundreds of Lumbini's green acres into an international center for study and meditation. With an airport and a few hotels in place, tourists can now come here to watch a new religious center bloom, while learning about a faith whose appeal continues to grow in the West.
This is a work in progress, though pilgrims are not bothered by that because for them the meaning of the place is unchanging. They come in clusters, skirting archeological excavations to pray in temples or just stroll in the grass of this green space that Buddhist history calls Lumbini Garden.
One morning in April I watched a large Nepali family from the Annapurna area gather at the foot of an enormous tree whose trunk sheltered a miniature shrine. From grandmother down to a very small girl in her best and newest clothes, the dozen or so relatives -- part of a significant Buddhist minority in a Hindu kingdom -- prayed and lit incense.Continue reading the main story
Before making the long, nasty bus journey home, they stopped at a few small modern temples on the periphery, then bought salty snacks for the adults and an ice cream cone for the toddler, sold by a vendor who materialized out of nowhere.
Archeology buffs will be fascinated with the practical problems Lumbini poses. First of all, there is more legend than history associated with this site. Not all secular experts agree that the man known as the Buddha Shakyamuni -- the sage of the Shakya people -- was unquestionably born here. There are virtually no records from that time, or at least none that have been found, pending the excavation of Shakya palaces.
Legend says that Buddha's parents' home was at Kapilavastu, about 15 miles away. Why he was born here in a pleasant grove under a sal tree (a tropical hardwood, shorea robusta) is still a matter of conjecture. According to a popular version of the story, his mother, Queen Mahamaya, had stopped to rest on her way to her parents' palace in a neighboring kingdom. Local custom demanded that she return home to give birth, but the child came too soon.
Another version says that she deliberately chose the peaceful garden for its natural beauty and that she was accompanied by a retinue of attendants expecting the baby to be born here. In any case, a spot of grass under a tree doesn't produce many artifacts to prove or disprove a legend a couple of thousand years later.
Over the years, the sal tree itself disappeared, and in its place shrines were built one on top of another until early in this century, when the whole heap was capped by a cement platform of surpassing ugliness. Nepali archeologists, helped by the Japan Buddhist Federation, are now chipping off layer upon layer of construction, hoping to find and date the earliest temple.
To make their work more difficult, the water table is high; no more than four feet below the surface in some places. And a huge bo tree, the ficus associated everywhere with Buddha because he was seated under one when he achieved enlightenment, has grown over the layers of bricks on one side, forcing its roots into every crevice.
For centuries very few scholars apart from a couple of ancient Chinese monks visited or were able to find Lumbini or nearby Kapilavastu, where the palace of Buddha's father, King Suddhodhana, is thought to lie in ruins. Then in 1895, Khadga Shumsher, the brother of the ruler of Nepal and a historian, led a German archeologist working for the British Survey of India to the place where a pillar was supposed to have been erected in the third century B.C. to mark the spot where Buddha was born in the sixth century B.C.
The pillar, ordered by a great Asian Buddhist emperor, Ashoka, was found partly buried and cracked, perhaps by lightning. Nearby, there was a temple with a frieze-like sculpture depicting the Nativity. It recounts in stone how the Buddha-to-be, stepped from his mother's side and stood in her shadow.
Desultory and sometimes damaging excavations in search of the first temple built on the site took place in the 1930's. But it was not until the last few decades that Nepal plunged with any vigor into Lumbini. The Government had been prodded by U Thant, the Burmese Buddhist who became United Nations Secretary General. On a 1967 visit to Lumbini to pray and reflect, U Thant was apparently distressed to see the condition of the place.
THROUGH the United Nations Development Program, a Japanese architect, Kenzo Tange, was soon brought in to create an ambitious plan for landscaping and the construction of buildings, including temples and study centers, that cover an area three miles long and about a mile wide. After a few false starts and setbacks, the project is finally beginning to take off, though not entirely without controversy.
In India, there are scholars and religious leaders who insist that Buddha was born on their soil, and that the ruins of the Shakya capital lie buried there. Of course, in the sixth century B.C., there was neither an India nor a Nepal as we know them, but that does not cool nationalism on either side.
Furthermore, lurking behind the debate is an Indian Hindu revival movement, which lays claim to Buddha and Buddhism as an offshoot of Hinduism. Indian Hindu priests control Buddhism's most important landmark, the temples at Bodh Gaya, in Bihar, where Buddha attained enlightenment.
But development at Lumbini goes on, with a number of Shakyas from Buddha's clan working at the site, among them Purna Man Shakya, the Lumbini project manager. He says that the contemporary brick museum building, at the opposite end of the grounds from the archeological center, is now finished and that the first exhibitions will be in place by the end of the year. A spacious library complex is also ready, except for the residential accommodations for scholars.
Work has begun on a Korean temple-monastery complex and a Vietnamese Buddhist center, paid for by exiles in Europe; these are the first of about a dozen monasteries under contract. Two existing temples -- one built by Tibetan Buddhists and one by Theravada Buddhists, the school followed in Thailand, Burma and Sri Lanka -- will be dismantled and reconstructed in new locations in the monastery cluster, within 100 yards of the legendary birthplace.
An ornamental canal that will also serve as a waterway, for boats traveling about a mile from the tourist center called Lumbini Village to within a 10-minute walk of the birthplace, has been dug, ready to be filled with the monsoon rains. Along both sides of the canal, columns of graceful trees are growing tall, providing homes for a variety of unusual birds. All the grounds within the Lumbini project will be a conservation area in keeping with Buddhist vows to protect all living things.
When all the work at Lumbini is finished, the temple at the birthplace site with its sacred pools, surviving bases of votive stupas and other ruins yet to be excavated will stand alone in an area called the Sacred Garden, partly ringed by a moat to collect water from the Harhawa and Telar rivers, which sometimes overflow in flood seasons.
AT this moment, the beauty of Lumbini is in the tranquillity of its rustic setting of meadows that were once farm fields, which is beginning to attract tourists worn down by the traffic and pollution of Nepal's capital, Katmandu, a 45-minute flight away. This is an unexpected Nepal in every way: empty, hot and flat. There is pleasure in seeing this holy place without the crowds that have overtaken other important Buddhist heritage sites; there is always a danger that this, too, will turn into a theme park.
On an initial visit to the archeological center, I went by taxi (arranged with advance notice by the hotel). Next day, I switched to a bicycle, and that made all the difference. Pedaling along still-earthen roads that traverse the site on its north-south axis -- lanes more jarring to cars than bikes -- makes it possible to listen to those zephyr breezes and see small pictures of life that would otherwise be missed: a village boy fishing with a bamboo pole in water that will soon be channeled into the park, a woman and her little son eating lunch in the shade of Buddha's trees.
The people who live around Lumbini are mostly Hindus and Moslems, said Nirmala Nanda Bhikku, the abbot and only resident monk at the Theravada temple. "There's not a Buddhist in sight," he assured me. The Bhikku allows families from the neighborhood to harvest and sell the mangoes from more than a hundred trees in his monastic grove; it brings them a welcome added income.
In the area, the Lumbini Hokke offers both Western and Japanese accommodations that are luxurious by Nepalese standards. Nearby, the new Sri Lankan Pilgrim's Rest House is inexpensive and monastic. A third hotel now rising in the complex will be strictly commercial, built by a Japanese chain.
Lumbini is being developed coincidentally at a time when Buddhism is enjoying a renaissance in Nepal, led by Tibetan exiles. The establishment of an international Buddhist center at Lumbini around the birthplace of Buddha is a source of Nepali pride, even among Hindus, who often visit Buddhist shrines.
"Buddha belongs to everybody," said Babu Krishna Rijal, a Nepali historian and archeologist who has written on Lumbini and other nearby sites. "But we are lucky to have Buddha born here." PREPARING TO SEE BUDDHIST SITES The Basics
Everest Air, Necon Air and Royal Nepal all have flights from Katmandu to Bhairahawa, about 12 miles from Lumbini. One-way fare is $72, payable in foreign currency by tourists.
Hotel accommodation should be booked in advance in Katmandu, through a hotel travel desk or tour agency, at which time a taxi should also be ordered to pick you up at the airport. The taxi fare is about $15 to $20. There are also local buses to Lumbini, but these are basic and uncomfortable, if extremely cheap (less than 25 cents). A tourist brochure has this advice: "Do not mind the shabby condition of the buses at present as you are on a pilgrimage." Bicycles (mountain bikes) can be rented for about $9 a day at the Hokke.
The telephone number from the United States for the Hokke Hotel in Lumbini is (977) 71-20236 and for the Sri Lankan Pilgrim's Rest House (977) 73-20381, fax (977) 73-20382.
There is no charge for entering the Lumbini park area, but donations are welcomed. When to Go
The best time to visit Lumbini is from October through March, when the weather is cool and reasonably dry, with daytime temperatures in the 70's. April to July are extremely hot, with temperatures above 90 degrees, often higher. From July into September, expect monsoon rains, which bring serious mud, winds and canceled flights. Where to Stay
The Lumbini Hokke Hotel is part of the Hokke organization, a foundation begun in 1913 by Ainosuke Kojim, a wealthy Japanese Buddhist who wanted to propogate the ideals of the Venerable Nichiren, a 12th-century religious leader. The Hokke hotels-- 15 in Japan, one in India and one in Sri Lanka in addition to this one at Lumbini -- were intended to provide a comfortable place to stay for travelers visiting holy places.
Guests can choose Western or Japanese accommodation at the 27-room Lumbini Hokke. I opted for the Japanese, with a futon bed and low wooden table and floor pillows on fragrant tatami mats. There is an anteroom for dressing, and for the minibar. A deep Japanese bathtub provided wonderful relaxation at the end of a day, as did the crisply ironed happi coats.
Room rates are $79 single and $120 double from September through March and $50 single, $80 double the rest of the year. Electricity is unreliable, but generators got us over the tough spots, and the evenings were cool enough, even in early April, to sleep without air-conditioning.
The hotel's one irritating drawback was that the staff seemed to be trained to deal with Japanese tour groups eating at set times and were at a loss when a few of us traveling unescorted wanted an a la carte meal or some other deviation from a routine. At breakfast they would expect us to order lunch; at lunch they asked what we wanted for dinner.
But the food was good, especially the Japanese meals, which cost about $8 for lunch and $14 for a multicourse dinner that usually included prawn and vegetable tempura, soup, rice, noodles, salad, pickles and fruit, with tea or coffee. Lunch was a scaled-down version of dinner. There were also sandwiches from about $1.25 and Nepali or Indian dishes for $4 or $5. Prices may be slightly higher in fall and winter months.
The new Sri Lankan Pilgrim's Rest House, near the Hokke, cost only $5 a night a person, with communal squat toilets and shower rooms. Most rooms are dormitory style, with up to eight beds. Meals of simple fare are only $2 for breakfast and lunch, $4 for dinner. The rest house is built in a circular design, with an interior courtyard.Continue reading the main story

Fall Book First Look: Uber-Manager Shep Gordon Recalls Interrupting Janis Joplin During an Intimate Moment, Plus Memoirs From Springsteen, Brian Wilson & More
Here are eight music books you need to check out this fall. And to get you started, check out an exclusive excerpt from uber-manager Shep Gordon's memoir below.
1) They Call Me Supermensch: A Backstage Pass to the Amazing Worlds of Film, Food, and Rock'n'Roll by Shep Gordon (Ecco, Sept. 20)
In 1968 I was driving in Los Angeles, looking for a place to stay. I pulled into the Landmark Motor Hotel, which was built in the 1950s and looked very Southern California modern. The man behind the desk looked like a character actor from a James Cagney movie -- which it turned out he had been. He gave me a good rate on the only unit available, a two-bedroom suite.
I settled in and took a hit of acid. On the one hand, the job I had headed to California for had ended in less than a day. I had enough money for maybe a month, and no prospects. On the other hand, I was on my own in Hollywood, high as a kite, and for the first time in my life I had nobody to tell me what to do. I was simultaneously scared to death and thinking, "Wow, man, look at you!"
Around midnight I stepped onto the balcony. Down by the pool, I heard a girl scream. For some reason, whenever someone is in trouble my instinct is always to be the guy on the white horse. I hurried down the stairs. Ahead, vague figures tumbled around beside the pool. For some reason my brain went right to rape and I went to separate them. That's when the girl punched me in the mouth. "We're f--ing," she said, "Would you please leave us alone?" I made a hasty retreat to my room, feeling more like a schmuck than a hero.
The next afternoon I went down to the pool, where some people my age were lounging around in the shade. The girl among them asked, "Are you the guy who interrupted us last night?" She told everyone the story, and they all started laughing. Then she introduced herself. She was Janis Joplin. Lounging on pool chairs were Jimi Hendrix; Lester and Willie Chambers of The Chambers Brothers; Bobby Neuwirth, Bob Dylan's road manager; and Paul Rothchild of Elektra Records.
2. Born to Run
By Bruce Springsteen (Simon & Schuster, Sept. 27)
Springsteen has been working on his memoir since 2009 -- nuff said.
3. Original Gangstas: The Untold Story of Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Tupac Shakur, and the Birth of West Coast Rap
By Ben Westhoff
(Hachette, Sept. 13)
For the 20th anniversary of Tupac's death, the former LA Weekly music editor traces the rise and legacy of West Coast rap; early reviews call it "definitive."
4. Good Vibrations: My Life As a Beach Boy
By Mike Love with James S. Hirsh
(Blue Rider Press, Sept. 13)
Often portrayed as the bad guy in Beach Boys lore, Love makes the case for himself.
5. I Am Brian Wilson: A Memoir
By Brian Wilson and Ben Greenman
(Da Capo Press, Oct. 11)
Less interested in settling scores than Love, Wilson delves into his battle with mental illness and how he created the band's pioneering sound.
6. Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout
By Laura Jane Grace
(Hachette, Nov. 15)
The Against Me! frontwoman chronicles her gender dysphoria and emergence as an influential punk artist, interspersing her memoir with journal entries.
7. Absolutely on Music: Conversations
By Haruki Murakami with Seiji Ozawa
(Knopf, Nov. 15)
Japanese novelist Murakami goes deep with the Boston Symphony Orchestra's conductor emeritus, chronicling two years of the longtime friends' discussions; critics peg it as "High Fidelity for classical music fans."
8. 18 and Life on Skid Row
By Sebastian Bach
(Dey Street Books, Sept. 27)
The former Skid Row singer says he wrote this memoir alone, taking Keith Richards' and Duff McKagan's books as inspiration; he pushed the release from spring to fall to add more to the story (including, he has said, 116 photos).
This article originally appeared in the Sept. 3 issue of Billboard.

Buses are the most commonly used means of travel. Bus monitoring system is familiar with bus companies. Today, Teswell's edition explains the different functions of bus monitoring system.
GPS navigation:
At present, GPS navigation system is installed in the urban traffic system, and the GPS information is shared to the user's mobile phone to facilitate the user's travel schedule.
Passenger flow statistics:
Passenger flow statistics is mainly about the number of people getting on and off the bus. With the construction of safe city, the function of face recognition for passengers will be increased in the later period to improve the safety of public transport.
Driver Identity Authentication System:
Driver's identity authentication system is based on face recognition technology, which can realize driver's identity authentication on vehicles. Its main purpose is the following two aspects. Through the identification of the driver, we can ensure that the driver who drives the vehicle is a driver who meets the driving conditions, such as registered driver and non-pseudonymous replacement; by confirming the driver's identity and automatically recording the driving time of the current driver, we can ensure that the driver does not drive the vehicle overtime. For example, there is no regular rest, there is no regular shift driving, etc.
Fatigue detection system:
Fatigue detection technology uses intelligent video analysis technology, including driver's face detection and eye detection analysis, to determine the fatigue degree of the detected personnel, and according to the set rules for fatigue alarm and warning.

Tools Not Rules' says Roy Peter Clark, vice president and senior scholar at the Poynter Institute, the esteemed school for journalists and teachers of journalists. Clark believes that everyone can write well with the help of a handful of useful tools that he has developed over decades of writing and teaching. If you google 'Roy Peter Clark, Writing Tools', you'll get an astonishing 1.25 million hits. That's because journalists everywhere rely on his tips to help them write well every day - in fact he fields emails from around the world from grateful writers.
'Writing Tools' covers everything from the basics (Tool 5: Watch those Adverbs) to the more complex (Tool 34: Turn your notebook into a camera) and uses more than 300 examples from literature and journalism to illustrate the concepts. For students, aspiring novelists and writers of memos, emails, PowerPoint presentations and love letters, here are 50 indispensible, memorable and usable tools.

The Cult of the Dead Cow is the story of the oldest, most respected and most famous hacking group of all time. Its members invented the the concept of hacktivism, released both the top tool for cracking passwords and the reigning technique for controlling computers from afar, and spurred development of Snowden's anonymity tool of choice. With its origins in the earliest days of the Internet, the cDc is full of oddball characters--spies, activists, musicians, and politicians--who are now woven into the top ranks of the American establishment. Today, this small group and their followers represent the best hope for making technology a force for good instead of for surveillance and oppression. Like a modern (and real) illuminati, cDc members have had the ears of presidents, secretaries of defense, and the CEO of Google. The Cult of the Dead Cow shows how we got into the mess we find ourselves in today, where governments and corporations hold immense power over individuals, and and how we are finally fighting back.
A handy guide for anyone who says, 'The Facebook' or 'The Google' or who asks, 'Do they deliver emails on Sunday?' This is a book for the elderly and not-so-elderly who are bamboozled not just by the technology of the contemporary world, but also various modern concepts and conceits that the more youthful take for granted.It explains a host of modern concepts and technologies that have entered everyday use and parlance but which are alien (and possibly frightening) not just to the elderly - but probably also to anyone over 45. These concepts are universal and should therefore appeal to readers in the UK, Australia, US and Europe. The definitions are all real, but entertaining, making use of easy-to-understand 'real world' references or examples to explain them.

Donald Trump's policies, from his travel ban to his approval of the Dakota Access Pipeline, have prompted an immediate response from concerned liberals. Yet what effect can protest truly have in the face of the awesome power of the executive branch? Do everyday citizens have a role in safeguarding our Constitution? Or must we rely on the federal courts, and the Supreme Court above all, to protect our dearly held rights? In Engines of Liberty, the esteemed legal scholar David Cole argues that we all have a part to play in the grand civic dramas of our era. Examining the most successful rights movements of the last 30 years, he reveals how groups of ordinary Americans have worked together to defend and expand our civil liberties. The lesson of the fight for marriage equality is the value of strategy of state-level activism. In the NRA's successful efforts to swing elections and influence state and federal law, we can see the power of groups that build loyal, active, and uncompromising memberships. The fight for human rights during the Iraq war illustrates how activist groups can encourage foreign populations and governments to challenge the president when our domestic institutions fail to.In a new Introduction written for the paperback edition, Cole urges us to view these past efforts as a blueprint for activism in our own era. From travel rights to protections for transgender students, and from voting rights to environmental issues, Engines of Liberty is an essential guidebook for concerned citizens seeking to defend the law of the land.
Cities that stand still perish. Especially one that is supposed to never sleep.Alongside Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Dan Doctoroff led New York's dramatic economic resurgence following the September 11th terrorist attacks. The five-borough economic development strategy included the most ambitious land-use transformation in the city's modern history; the largest affordable housing program ever launched by an American city; the formation of new Central Business Districts and Industrial Business Zones; and the creation of new destinations like the Harbor District, which will link together new parkland and miles of waterfront esplanades in Lower Manhattan, Governors Island, and Brooklyn. These projects have helped lead New York to its strongest economic position in decades.During his tenure at City Hall, Doctoroff also led the creation of PlaNYC, a 127-point plan designed to make New York the first environmentally sustainable twenty-first-century city. The plan focuses on every facet of New York's physical environment--its transportation network, housing stock, land and park system, energy network, water supply, and air quality--and sets the course for a 30% reduction in global warming emissions by 2030.All of this, plus the rejuvenation of Brooklyn, the flourishing art scene around the High Line, and the signal failure to land the Olympics, took place in a city with more complicated vested interests, local tribal politics, and gigantic egos than any other. The story of the reinvention of New York is a high-octane drama with some memorable cameo performances. At the middle is Doctoroff: intense, driven, determined to save a city from a monstrous outside attack and its own worst demons.
Shakespeare was heavily influenced by Holy Writ. Bible lines, characters and narratives are "verbal characters" in the his plays, poems and sonnets, sometimes subtly and sometimes blatantly. But they are there, revealing the deep scriptural well that was the culture from which Shakespeare drew and also reminding us of scenes and stories in the Bible. Shakespeare knew the Bible--as did everyone during that time. He used Scripture freely in what he wrote because through such biblical allusions, audiences would immediately grasp his meanings, charaterizations and unfolding situations. His works-meant to be performed-gave Scripture life. The Bible was not mere words in Shakespeare's work, but, like all of Scripture, were used for reproof, instruction, conviction and training. Listening to Shakespeare with an ear that's open to whispers from God's Word can kindle both passion for his great literary works and the Greatest Book of all, Holy Scripture.

Many modern knowledge workers now spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves your attention the most. When Cal Newport coined the term 'deep work' on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve. Most of us, after all, are excruciatingly familiar with shallow work instead - distractedly skimming the surface of our workload and never getting to the important part. Newport began exploring the methods and mindset that foster a practice of distraction-free productivity at work, and now, in DEEP WORK, he shows how anyone can achieve this elusive state. Through revealing portraits of both historical and modern-day thinkers, academics and leaders in the fields of technology, science and culture, and their deep work habits, Newport shares an inspiring collection of tools to wring every last drop of value out of your intellectual capacity. He explains why mastering this shift in work practices is crucial for anyone who intends to stay ahead in a complex information economy, and how to systematically train the mind to focus. Put simply: developing and cultivating a deep work practice is one of the best decisions we can make in an increasingly distracted world.

It is important to note that genetic factors can also bestow resilience to anxiety disorders, and the field continues to pursue large-scale genomics studies to identify novel genetic factors that are associated with anxiety disorders in hopes of better understanding biological pathways that: 1) contribute to the development and maintenance of anxiety; and 2) may lead to better treatment for these disorders. Most people are not aware of what specific genetic markers they may have that confer risk for anxiety disorders, so a straightforward way to approximate genetic risk is if an individual has a history of anxiety disorders in their family. While both nature and nurture can be at play with family history, if several people have anxiety disorders it is likely that a genetic vulnerability to anxiety exists in that family.
The condition of steady, pervasive anxiety is called Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Yet there are numerous anxiety-related disorders. One is panic disorder—severe episodes of anxiety that occur in response to specific triggers. Another is obsessive-compulsive disorder, marked by persistent intrusive thoughts or compulsions to carry out specific behaviors, such as hand-washing. Post-traumatic stress disorder may develop after exposure to a terrifying event in which severe physical harm occurred or was threatened. Anxiety so frequently co-occurs with depression that the two are thought to be twin faces of one disorder. Like depression, anxiety strikes twice as many adult females as males.
Treatment for panic disorder includes medication, psychotherapy or a combination of the two. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, a type of psychotherapy, teaches people how to view panic attacks differently and demonstrates ways to reduce anxiety. Appropriate treatment by an experienced professional can reduce or prevent panic attacks in 70 to 90% of people with panic disorder. Most patients show significant progress after a few weeks of therapy. Relapses may occur, but they can often be effectively treated just like the initial episode.
There are dozens of drugs that can be prescribed to treat anxiety. Since each person responds to medication differently, there's no one drug that works perfectly for everyone. You may have to work a little with a psychiatrist to find the right medication, or the right combination of medicines, that's most beneficial to you. The drugs that are used to treat anxiety over a long period of time are antidepressants, which affect serotonin, norepinephrine, and other neurotransmitters in the brain.
Anxiety during social interactions, particularly between strangers, is common among young people. It may persist into adulthood and become social anxiety or social phobia. "Stranger anxiety" in small children is not considered a phobia. In adults, an excessive fear of other people is not a developmentally common stage; it is called social anxiety. According to Cutting,[32] social phobics do not fear the crowd but the fact that they may be judged negatively.
I think I had an anxiety attack the other day, but I'm not sure. I was at the movies and felt scared, like something or someone was going to attack me. I drove home and felt like I was scared of the dark and was having trouble breathing and focusing on driving. After dropping off my bf and driving home, I started crying and hyperventilating, and felt detached from the world, like nothing mattered, and felt like I was going to die. It took me two hours to fall asleep and I had nightmares. The episode was over by morning, but I'm concerned that it will happen again.
Anxiety disorders are the most commonly diagnosed mental disorders in the United States. The most common type of anxiety disorder are called "simple phobias," which includes phobias of things like snakes or being in a high place. Up to 9 percent of the population could be diagnosed with this disorder in any given year. Also common are social anxiety disorder (social phobia, about 7 percent) — being fearful and avoiding social situations — and generalized anxiety disorder (about 3 percent).
People with panic attacks often report a fear of dying or heart attack, flashing vision, faintness or nausea, numbness throughout the body, heavy breathing and hyperventilation, or loss of body control. Some people also suffer from tunnel vision, mostly due to blood flow leaving the head to more critical parts of the body in defense. These feelings may provoke a strong urge to escape or flee the place where the attack began (a consequence of the "fight-or-flight response", in which the hormone causing this response is released in significant amounts). This response floods the body with hormones, particularly epinephrine (adrenaline), which aid it in defending against harm.[9]
Because there are many medical conditions that can cause anxiety attack signs and symptoms, such as the strong sensations and feelings associated with anxiety attacks, it's wise to discuss them with your doctor. If your doctor has attributed your anxiety attacks to stress and anxiety, you can feel confident that your doctor's diagnosis is correct. Anxiety attacks and their signs and symptoms are relatively easy to diagnose and aren't easily confused with other medical conditions.
In the midst of a panic attack, it's inevitable that you'll feel like you've lost control of your body, but muscle relaxation techniques allow you to gain back some of that control. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a simple but effective technique for panic and anxiety disorders. Start by clenching your fist and holding this clench until the count of 10. Once you get to 10, release the clench and let your hand relax completely. Next, try the same technique in your feet and then gradually work your way up your body clenching and relaxing each muscle group: legs, glutes, abdomen, back, hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and face.
"These techniques take some getting used to," says Dave Carbonell, PhD, an anxiety therapist in Chicago, but learning how to cope with anxiety attacks is important so that fear of having another won't keep you at home or limit your activities. A study in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine in 2013 found that multiple approaches to managing anxiety, including strategies like breathing and journaling, can help.
According to a study published in Psychology Medicine1, people who suffer from panic attacks and panic disorder may be at higher risk of heart attack and heart disease later in life. While the link between panic disorder and heart disease remains controversial, the study found that compared to individuals without panic disorder, sufferers were found to have up to a 36% higher risk of heart attack and up to 47% higher risk of heart disease. If you suffer from panic attacks, seek attention for any chest pain symptoms in order to rule out any issues with heart health.
Panic attacks and panic disorder are treatable once the underlying cause of is identified. "Usually medical conditions and other factors (substance use or withdrawal from substances) are ruled out before making the diagnosis," says Flo Leighton, psychiatric nurse practitioner, and therapist with Union Square Practice in Manhattan. Getting to the root cause typically takes a couple of sessions, says Leighton. Here are some options that may be recommended to you :
I think I also be having anxiety attacks! I'm 20yrs old and just lost my baby boy while pregnant at 8months! It's very sad and depressing to think about it! I went to the doctor and was prescribed xanx! They work but sometimes it takes a while for the anxiety to go away/slow down! Hot/cold feeling! Fast heart beat! The feeling of going in and out! Can hardly breathe! I'm just trying to cope with it, being that I am so young!
I had the biggest panic attack to date today, managed to get into the car with my friends to take my son for a hospital appointment, felt very unsafe and thought I was going to fall out of the car when it went around a corner. Talked to myself all through the journey telling myself I'd been round hundreds of corners and never fallen out out a car yet…got the hospital, got out the car, got half way across the carpark and had what I can only describe as the most hysterical panic/anxiety attack I have ever had. I,d dropped to the floor by now as I was with my friend Kay and I knew she wouldnt be able to run after me….I was screaming, pleading for help for what felt like forever, 2 paramedics came over and it took them a good 10 minutes to convince me I should stand up and go into A&E, I can only explain the whole thing as being hysterical, a Crisis nurse and doctor came to see my and gave me 4 diazepam, even after taking one – 5mg – I was hysterical and wouldnt then leave the hospital…I,m now at home and a lot calmer, the Crisis team are coming to see me between 10am and 1pm tomorrow to discuss meds, even the nurse said to the doctor 'this isnt depression, this is severe anxiety..' all I need is a tiny pinprick of light to look at to keep me hopeful. I honestly thought I could handle today but I didnt, I,m angry and disappointed with myself as this time a month ago I was fine
Seek medical follow-up. For those who are diagnosed with panic disorder, depression, or another form of anxiety disorder, the news is encouraging when treatment is received. These disorders are usually well controlled with medications. However, many people suffer the effects of these illnesses for years before coming to a doctor for evaluation. These conditions can be extremely disabling, so follow-up after the initial visit to the doctor is crucial so that diagnosis and treatment can continue.
If I might make a suggestion for another coping mechanism: go near someone you trust – a friend, family member, or spouse. There's safety in numbers, and even your subconscious knows that. Being near someone you trust can be comforting, as you'll be able to get their help if something really does happen. It doesn't matter if you talk to them, if they're paying attention to you, or even if they're sleeping – them simply being nearby and available to call upon if something happens will dull your fear.
So how do you know if your anxiety is "normal" or "excessive?" It's normal to be worried about an upcoming test or wondering how you are going to cope financially when you unexpectedly find out you need major repairs done to your house. If you are suffering from the type of excessive worry that accompanies Generalized Anxiety Disorder, you may see a report on the local news about a new health scare in a different country and stay awake at night worrying about you or your family being affected, even though risks are minimal at best. You will likely spend the next few days and weeks in a constant state of worry about the well-being of your family and experience anxiety that is debilitating, intrusive, excessive, and persistent.
At some point in our lives, most of us will experience a panic attack in response to an actual danger or acute stress. But when panic attacks occur or recur for no reason and in the absence of danger or extreme stress, or when the fear of experiencing another attack is so strong that you change your behavior by avoiding certain places or people, you may have panic disorder.
Since panic attacks are caused by overly apprehensive behavior or chronic stress, addressing our overly apprehensive behavior and stress can stop and prevent panic attacks, and eventually, panic disorder. The combination of good self-help information and therapy is the most effective way of addressing overly apprehensive behavior.[2] Accessing good self-help information and applying it is a good way to reduce stress.
A person with social anxiety disorder has significant anxiety and discomfort about being embarrassed, humiliated, rejected or looked down on in social interactions. People with this disorder will try to avoid the situation or endure it with great anxiety. Common examples are extreme fear of public speaking, meeting new people or eating/drinking in public. The fear or anxiety causes problems with daily functioning and lasts at least six months.
There remains a chance of panic symptoms becoming triggered or being made worse due to increased respiration rate that occurs during aerobic exercise. This increased respiration rate can lead to hyperventilation and hyperventilation syndrome, which mimics symptoms of a heart attack, thus inducing a panic attack.[42] Benefits of incorporating an exercise regimen have shown best results when paced accordingly.[43]
Panic Disorder: People with panic disorder have panic attacks with feelings of terror that strike suddenly and repeatedly with no warning. During the attacks, individuals may feel like they can't breathe, have lost control, are having a heart attack or even that they are dying. Physical symptoms may include chest pain, dizziness, nausea, sweating, tingling or numbness, and a racing heartbeat. Some people will have one isolated attack, while others will develop a long term panic disorder; either way, there is often high anxiety between attacks because there is no way of knowing when the next one will occur. Panic disorders often begin early in adulthood. Many people with panic disorder also suffer from agoraphobia (abnormal fear of open or public places.). See more on Panic Attacks.
Warren: So if you're walking down a dark alley, you are probably thinking that there could be potential danger; that anxiety of anticipation, the feeling in your stomach, the elevated heart rate. But if you're walking down that alley and somebody jumps out with a knife, then you're likely to have a panic attack — an overwhelming urge to escape a situation that is dangerous.

A condition in which parting with objects (e.g., household items or personal possessions) causes significant distress. In addition, many individuals continuously acquire new things and experience distress if they are not able to do so. The inability to discard possessions can make living spaces nearly unusable. Relatedly, the cluttered living space can interfere with the performance of daily tasks, such as personal hygiene, cooking, and sleeping (e.g., the shower is full of stuff, the bed is covered with clutter).

Almost everyone experiencing symptoms of a panic attack needs evaluation. Unless the person has a history of having panic attacks, is otherwise healthy, and is experiencing a typical attack, they must be evaluated promptly by a doctor. The level of evaluation depends on many factors. Err on the side of safety when deciding whether to go to a hospital's emergency department.
People with panic disorder have sudden and repeated attacks of fear that last for several minutes or longer. These are called panic attacks. Panic attacks are characterized by a fear of disaster or of losing control even when there is no real danger. A person may also have a strong physical reaction during a panic attack. It may feel like having a heart attack. Panic attacks can occur at any time, and many people with panic disorder worry about and dread the possibility of having another attack.
While separation anxiety is a normal stage of development, if anxieties intensify or are persistent enough to get in the way of school or other activities, your child may have separation anxiety disorder. Children with separation anxiety disorder may become agitated at just the thought of being away from mom or dad and complain of sickness to avoid playing with friends or going to school.
With panic attacks, we might show them a diagram and explain the fight-or-flight response; their mind or body is trying to help them. If you've had a panic attack that came out of the blue, you might become afraid of lightheadedness and avoid activities that spur adrenaline. So we might hyperventilate for a minute in a controlled way to get to the point where they're not afraid of their own bodily sensation. We work on internal avoidance of those cues that become scary, and desensitize them.
Cognitive therapy and exposure therapy are two CBT methods that are often used, together or by themselves, to treat social anxiety disorder. Cognitive therapy focuses on identifying, challenging, and then neutralizing unhelpful or distorted thoughts underlying anxiety disorders. Exposure therapy focuses on confronting the fears underlying an anxiety disorder to help people engage in activities they have been avoiding.
