MiaBean: I suffer from severe anxiety and have gotten to a point in my life that I feel that I am on the verge of having a panic attack but since there have been no replies on this topic maybe it's time to talk to a Mental Health Provider. If you are not seeing one I highly recommend seeing a therapist as I have been seeing a therapist and been on medications for several years now. I have Parkinson's Disease so it only increases my symptoms of anxiety. Seeing a Mental Health specialist and therapist helps because they teach you ways to deal with panic attacks and can also prescribe anti-anxiety medications if need be. Keep me posted. Maybe we will get some feedback from others in the group on this subject.

EFT can help right in the moment: http://eft.mercola.com/

You can also use the technique where you see 5 things around you, then you hear 5 things around you, smell 5 things, feel 5 things.

If you're still feeling anxious, notice 4 different things that you see, 4 things you hear, 4 things you smell and 4 things you feel.

Then, if you still feel anxious, notice 3 things, 2 things, 1 thing.

This helps you to be present.

Anything that calms the nervous system can also help - a warm bath, soothing music, a cup of hot tea.

SkeeterElf: I will NOT go to a Mental Health Provider. The last time I did that, they pumped me full of so many medications that I literally lost my mind. Tried another doctor and they just picked up where the last left off, and the same with the next. I'm only anxious because I'm sick. If I can beat this naturally, I will. I will not pump my body full of poison.

Reed: Thanks, I'll try that. I've been looking into techniques that I can use, but mostly I find people that just say to do breathing exercises.
