you need to get the anxiety and stress out of your system. talk to someone whether it's on here or somewhere else. open up about how you're feeling and what you're going through.

There really isn't a happy medium in my experience. When I had panic attacks or if I have symptoms of stress it never helps to analyze them.

Why do you feel the need to do so?

For myself, I found out years ago that self analyzing was like a dog chasing it's tail. Meaning I just went around and around trying to figure it all out. When I have servere anxiety attacks I have had to call my therapist. It helps cause I get so bad that I can't get myself to breath. She has to talk me through it. I go for therapy every 2 weeks or sooner if I need it. It has been helpful.

Acknowledge that it is there and watch it pass without getting caught up in it.

Describe what the sensations feel like...not what it is labeled as but for example, "Anxiety you feel like a sharp rod in my chest" or "Anxiety you feel like someone is standing on my chest." Like that, use metaphors, that will be enough to let the anxiety know it is heard and it will go away easier.

Remember only you can control yourself. You are in control. You are strong. This feeling/thought/sensation/event is temporary and will pass.

When you arent in the midst of the anxiety then you should analyze and try to figure out what your triggers may be, what has happened to you or around you, or what you are projecting of future events.

If you talk about it out loud or write it down, it helps the search to get deeper to the root of it all.
