Research Proposal

Step 1.) How can I be less anxious?

Step 2.) I chose my research topic because I have always been a nervous person. A lot of

things make me anxious, school, decisions, etc. Im always overthinking and I dont relax often,

I get nervous about small decisions and I need to learn how to unwind more, be more confident

in myself. My anxiety has even stopped me from doing things before that are important because

my nerves get the better of me and at times make me feel physically sick. By researching this I

hope to find out more about what causes anxiety and how to deal better with my anxiety. I want

to learn different methods of calming down not getting so in my head about work or school. Its

important for me to learn more about anxiety because I know Crohns disease increases the

chance for women to suffer from anxiety disorders and I have Crohns. This inquiry would tie

into my

character strength of curiosity and interest in the world, I want to find out more about this topic,

Im very curious about it.

Step 3.) I dont know much about anxiety but I do know that women suffer more from it

than men. Anxiety is linked to depression, low self esteem, heart disease, chronic pain, etc. Some

common symptoms are sweating, trembling, trouble sleeping, and increased heart rate. The last

thing I know for certain is that the middle class suffers the most from anxiety. I believe that there

are different types of

anxiety and everyone has different ways that anxiety impacts them. When researching it some of

the questions I have are what kind of research is currently being done about anxiety, how to

better deal with this disorder, what are some causes and who is impacted the most around the

world.
