You need to take time to read the answers in other posts that are similar to your post. I have written. many suggestions about how to deal with panic stacks and anxiety that are all things. I do to help me. with my own anxiety disorder.

I guess there are still things that i have to learn. I dont know how to find your post in other groups.

Best thing is to learn you. Not other people. Find your inner self and get to know it.

Tell us a bit about yourself. How long have you had it?

Mine are getting less and less intense so I'm able to breath through it

Im so happy for you pretty big. Im hoping after May i can get better too.

Ive had bipolar and schitzophrenia for 30 years. I was controlled for a long time. Im 64 now and rather not controlled. I became legally blind around 15 years ahgo, My sight has gotten worse in the last year. Thats really all i know to tell you about me. I sure hope you have some ideas to help me. It sucks to be in my position.

I dont have my kindle anymore. i couldnt see it. ive tryed the breathing but ill keep doing it. i color in adult color books sometimes. sometimes that calms me for a little while, what bout a book of affirmations?

i also feel always having something to read (being in the middle of some good novel) helps with anxiety or panicky feeling esp at nights when u have nothing else to distract,sometime u just dozed off reading them ,which is the best thing to overcome anxiety.during day i just keep on doing my mundane job no matter how much panicky i feel. i surrender to God.

Kathy, tell your friends n people around u whenever you feel anxious or having a panic attack to come.sometimes simply knowing that there are people who wud help in need or who can just hold your hands while having this difficult period, might help.
sometimes i simply hug my 4 yr old daughter tightly.whenever i am going through this anxiety period. it helps

But nobody wants to go out of there way to help me. If i asked them to do that theyd really raz me bad, Im already sort of an out cast. I left Facebook because one of my so called friends accused me of being nuts and i should get off of there. I just asked her to be patient with me things happen that i cant controll. Im so relaxed here everyone supports each other no matter if something goes wrong or if things are great.

I dont like real cold things. My Feet are usually froze because i have no cirrculation in them. They say no oxygen can get through. They are going to take ultrasounds of them Tuesday. Putting my hands in ice might send me over the edge right now.

I am really sorry to hear about your blindness Kathy, on top of your other troubles. When I'm home I will generally have the telly on, I feel less anxious with noise in the house, and for some reason telly is better than radio usually.

But: I have discovered the joys of bach cello concertos. It's quite amazing how soothing that stuff is. I had a bath last night with bubble bath and cello music, and was surprised by wondering why I don't do it regularly? Things we don't do for ourselves because we're locked in a chair, ay.

If you have enough sight left to get there, i'd totally recommend volunteering at a pet shelter or similar. I think we as people need people. And if we're busy doing some kind of task together with them, we aren't under the same pressure to hold conversations and be scintillating - we can go quiet and just work.

I have been thinking bridgie, i turn on the television for noise too. I get more upset when its too quiet. I seem to glance at the tv all the time. There is no pet place to volunteer at here, that i can get too without hiring a cab to and from. that would cost too much. i used to volunteer when i could walk to the places, Im in a walker and i cant see well enough to go too far.

But we only have a humane society here. And its far out of town. Ive tried but i cant get there, I have tried most ways of getting to volunteer. I used to be able to walk to and from.

Hi I'm new to the group is there any meetings ?

Thanks
