Anxiety Support Group

Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Hi -
I haven't been on the site for quite awhile, so my name is new to everyone, I suppose.
I'm just checking in to suggest that, if you're interested, you should check out Robert Smith's Fastereft website.
It's all explained very well with hundreds of free videos.
It's not like the other eft - much simpler and more direct.
I started doing some "tapping" this evening and I already feel better and less stressed.
There's even a way to do the method in public without anyone knowing-
he explains that on one of the first free videos.
Just thought I'd share something that seems to be helping!
One piece of advice - it's very helpful when you are doing the procedure that you realize, as best that you can, that thoughts, memories,
sensations, etc. are not YOU - they are just "phenomena" appearing in and on our awareness. If you can stay detached as things "come up" to be healed, it's much, much easier and faster!
Blessings,
Pursah

Thanks for your efforts. I have been using Roberts site for awhile. He's a bit "different" but very good at what he does. Yes, it has helped me as well and I have stated that here. However, it rarely is answered....so I just kinda gave up.
I've added acupuncture, aroma therapy, and walking to my regimen and guess what???? I'm feeling much better!!!!
I had anxiety, but I fought back once I knew what I was dealing with. It wasn't an easy road and my life isn't all rainbows and butterfly's....but it is far better than what it was a few months ago.
There is tons of help on youtube....but ya gotta want to get better by keep looking for answers outside the ER (the ER is raking in the money off the public's fears of dying).
I know how paralyzing anxiety is....trust me on this. It sent me to the ER twice with no solutions, just a costly piece of paper saying everything was normal!!! The best thing a person can do is educate themselves about anxiety and [all] the symptoms and then go out and look for solutions....such as EFT, acupuncture, exercise, self hypnosis, deep breathing, etc.
This is just my shiny nickels worth...

MsBlank1 - well said! I have not heard of or tried EFT, but I will add that to my ever growing list of research. I think once you've ruled out other medical conditions and are faced with the anxiety diagnosis - you have to start learning ways to cope - whether it be through natural means, medication/therapy combos - whatever works for each individual - you have to be ready and there has to be effort and willingness to get better not just constantly re-diagnosing the same symptoms over and over at the doc or ER - and we need to find ways to make those methods of help available to people, because unfortunately, I think a lot of folks that can't afford the help they need end up just running to the ER over and over, because they can be treated and reassured without having to pay anything. I don't say that in a judgmental way - just in a factual way.
