Welcome Yaya, sorry to hear you have this too. What do you do to cope? Personally I try to eat healthily and exercise, read uplifting stuff and found good results with magnolia bark. Mine is made worse with ptsd. I hope you find something that helps you.

Thank you tropicaloo I am sorry too. Ever since my anxiety attack I seemed therapy but since I don't have insurance I am on my own I use to do breathing excersise I have to go back but to me is my makeup time. Where I forget about everything and I am in a magical world . That has helped me so much. It can be tuff when as a child you go threw things but I know time will help and hope we heal. I like to sing even if I am horrible

I cope by getting help. I see a therapist who helps me identify what is causing me to be anxious. I meditate daily. I use the tools I have learned to change my negative thinking. I practice acceptance method daily, I educate myself on anxiety disorder so when I have symptoms, I know what they are and I understand it’s only anxiety so I don’t have to react or freak out. I learned I don’t have to cope, that I can do something about it and heal. You can too, it’s possible.

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

You've taken the important first step in writing it out.

Best wishes as you find your better balance.

Welcome Yaya.

My tool kit consists of exercise, meditation, meds, therapy and self-care... pretty much all daily. Then there is art and music and journaling as ways of either trying to quiet the monkey mind or to try and sort through whatever it's making noise about.

Glad you reached out and I'm hope you're able to find some support and balance here.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
