Hi everyone. New to this website and hoping that it'll help even if it's a tiny bit.

My anxiety has been at an all time high as of lately. It is so hard to breathe sometimes when someone triggers it.

Do you guys have any coping mechanisms that can be recommended? Thank you :)

I meditate, listen to music, go for walks, art, drink tea, and try to be social :) I hope this helps! I know how hard anxiety is and it can get way too overwhelming. Feel free to message me anytime

Yea I read that you have to tell yourself that nothing is worse is happening to you other than a anxiety attack ...

Breathe regularly and yell stop
In your brain. Tell yourself that it's all in your mind and that it's just anxiety. To calm down and accept everything and come to terms with how you're feeling.

When you have exhausted everything else, come here with the intent of helping a number of people with THEIR problems. I find eventually that I give advice that I should give myself. Doesn't always clear the anxiety but it is a step in the right direction.

There is an app- Headspace (has an orange dot) that is guided meditation and helps so much! Sometimes you can get yourself to focus, so with it being guided- it helps a lot. I swear by it.

I second the headspace app. It has helped me! I also recently tried something name natural calm and it seemed to calm. Best of luck!!! It's an icky place to be.

I wish the app helped me :( I walk and count steps. Seems to be one of the few things that helps for me.
