Anxiety Due to Cheating

Abstract

The purpose of my project was to build awareness of ones anxiety. I used personal information and scientific research to demonstrate why people do what they do when one is affected by anxiety. The following is a piece from my introduction which completely describes my paper. Anxiety affects us all in different ways even when it’s due to unfaithfulness. Not only do I want to build awareness, but I’m here to tell my story. So I raise the questions; what is the chemical reaction in the brain caused by or that causes anxiety specifically due to cheating, and how does that anxiety transfigure the chemical makeup and process in the brain towards sensory reception from an emotional and mental standpoint in further relationships? I can’t say that I know how to prevent episodes of anxiety, however my theory behind this research, is to show you what it is, and how to deal with it, and to understand what others dealing with this emotional trauma are dealing with. If the science behind the brain’s anxiety response can be mapped out and correlated to an emotional response or rather statistically measured, then a solution to anxiety as a whole can be presented. Through said solution, those like myself, who seek a scientific approach to reasoning the trust issues found in their relationships can finally understand how to combat it. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix. However, I believe that in order to free yourself and get in front of the issue, one must understand all there is about it. My purpose of taking you on this journey is to increase awareness of the emotional impact of anxiety due to cheating, using scientific research.
