Shrimps marinated in lime and dijon mustard

Dietitian's tip: In this recipe, the shrimp is marinated in its cooking stock rather than served with a heavy sauce. Serve the shrimp cold with water crackers or melba toast.

Ingredients

1 medium red onion, chopped
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, plus lime zest as garnish
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Beating anxiety /panic attacks

• what is anxiety? according to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, it is a physiological and psychological state characterized by cognitive, somatic, emotional, and behavioral components.^[1] These components combine to create an uncomfortable feeling that is typically associated with uneasiness, apprehension, or worry.
  
• The above definition i stated above thru the help of wikipedia is unknown to me at first, that was during my early years of my marriage. I dont know that what i had experienced was anxiety and everything which of course includes symptoms such as palpitations, nausea,chest pains,shortness of breath,stomach aches or headaches. Someone suffering from anxiety might also experience it as a sense of dread or panic and also a feeling that im crazy of something or dying . what i know of was that im experiencing mild heart attack or something thats when its gotten worse! that i decided to take some lab test and ask for professional help and it turn out that im normal in every lab test that i made. That s alarm me of course , of which i thought that all that i felt were just the pigment of my imagination. Then i started to read on health issues on magazines and books . And i read about this anxiety and everything involves in it. That keeps me to think that if im physically fit and what im going through was just a fear of something unknown , i had to find out what causes this attacks, that i continue researching and find out that it was a stress related thing, and all the food that i took in counts, which means that i must lessen the salty foods and avoid caffeinated drinks, and put in mind that if an attack occurs on me again i had to stay calm (dont panic) and think that it will pass as long as i remained calm and focus on another happy memorable events in my life( and also i have to bear in mind that i should not fear in death since we all pass away on this life on our own designated time and must learn to have Faith and Trust on God in everything).
• It took me at least 10 years to beat it, that was without taking any medications at all , i suffered a lot during those years but i become strong thinking that i have 4 children to take care of and i must be strong always , even my husband did not know what im going through during those years, since i keep it secret and its only now that i had gotten over that i told him about it.
• I decided to share it with you readers so that you may learn from my experienced or can relate on this topic and made some further comments or additonal knowledge/experiences on this.
