Of course women are working at the office or in the field more, at the same time men are staying home with the kids – but still, the vast majority of home in the western world have a working father and a homemaker being Mom.

So with the extra time alone, men have the chance to get away for some peace of quiet. But alas! There are reasons why men suffer from anxiety as well.

Young Married Men Who Suffer From Anxiety

Unfortunately younger men often make bad choices such as drinking or recreational drugs, lack of sleep, and bad company – period.

Young men who suffer from anxiety, some would ask?! (and I’ve been there) You would think unlikely, but all it’s takes is a vivid imagination and some basic perceptions out of whack from reality, and young men can easily find themselves in the midst of high anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.

Never forget that young men have allot of pressure (self applied and society applied) to deal with. Jobs, education, earnings, parental expectations, and mating competition, add to the pressures on young men, and when you see the reality of these pressures, you can easily see how young men can fall to worry and fear.

For young men they are not well served to be “out of loop” in their community, or move away from their home base, and surely being out of their supportive community.

If a young man is married with children he can be under a HUGE amount of the pressure to stay in a job that he may hate, feed his children, and support his family. Young women also work more and more, and the amount of duel income homes is increasing steadily. Nevertheless, in the breakdown of stress in American homes, young men are not immune due to perceived ideas of their personal freedoms and carefree lifestyle.

In fact, I remember being a young man, when I overheard a group of ladies dining and talking. They were talking about how easy it is to be man, and basically they had no mercy for any kind of plight a young man might be facing.

If you are a young man suffering from anxiety, or know someone who is a young man suffering from anxiety, you can overcome stress and anxiety with some simple actions.

• make sure you AVOID getting wrapped in your self image. Don’t judge yourself on societal standards, such as how much money you make, what kind of degree you have, where you work, what your new wife or girlfriend looks like, what kind of car you drive, and what kind of home you have. This kind of thinking is purely egoic and WILL cause you and those around you to suffer.
• clean up your so-called friend base. Realize who your real friends are and avoid all of those who are only interested in a party, or superficial distractions. You will find the madness and chaos in your life will decrease dramatically with this advice.
• avoid substances that run down your energy levels – alcohol in excess, nicotine in excess, food in excess, drugs in excess.
• get your sleep even if you think your young body can “handle it”

Middle Aged Married Men Who Suffer From Anxiety

Middle aged men have a better opportunity to reduce their anxiety because they may have more time to work with. More time perhaps because children are ususally out of the house and living on their own.
