hello, welcome to the group. Sorry you are not feeling good right now. Is there someone you can talk to? Family, friend, therapist? Journaling would be also a good idea...identifying your triggers for anxiety will also help and will help you understand and ease your anxiety. I hope others pitch in. take care

Hi there!
Have you tried DVDs or apps on your phone for anxiety? They really do help! Also Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is awesome! Good to read books is helpful and joking DS is great ! We all share the same anxieties and try to help each other. Just remember that you are not alone. And Welcome!

Yeah I a friend to talk to and my sister but sometimes it's hard to talk to them they don't have anxiety so they can't really understand, it does help call me down sometimes to talk to friends I try to identify my triggers I noticed that I always have constant anxiety some days it's tolerable and then there's times when I'm going through a really stressful situation like now where it will go up to the point I can't function and I just can't calm down, I have tried some anxiety apps on my phone they sort of help listening to music will sometimes calm me down or just focusing on my breathing will help too sometimes

I'm feeling similar. I don't want to get out of bed but I have children. Having a hard time talking to family and friends as well but I see my therapist once a week and unload everything on her. It does help to journal, adult coloring books, cardio, and EFT tapping

I find strenuous exercise works best for me. 30 to 45 minutes of running or a longer bike ride burns off a lot of the excess adrenaline running through my bloodstream and helps calm me down.

Weird thing for me is that I feel stronger anxiety while I am exercising, but burns away during my cool down

Yeah it's a struggle for sure it gets somewhere better when I go for a long walk then I'm too tired to be anxious keeping myself busy and distracted helps too,I have thought about some counseling because it's getting worse and affecting my job and my relationships

Have you seen a doctor? Maybe you are at the point that you may need anti-depressants to help you?
Good for you for reaching out now. That is a coping strategy and hopefully it helps knowing you aren't alone.
Sending you strength!

No I've been to the doctors but yeah I think at this point it's getting where I need help,reaching out to people who have a similar problem is helping me not to feel like I'm not the only one

Stay hydrated. Practice breathing exercises to help balance your anxiety level to a range you can be comfortable with.
Distract your usual thought pattern.
Hope you feel better soon, and welcome to this wonderful group.

Welcome, you are in good company. You are not alone in the ways you feel. the first step is to talk to someone you can trust and be completely honest, friend, family member, whoever. Then take some time to find a counselor or doctor you can speak to. Things will get better. You will get stronger. You will find ways to cope and learn how to manage your anxiety yourself. I've tried tons of things and still struggle but I know I'm not alone. Medications, vitamins,therapy, exercise, there are lots of little everyday things we can do to cope.
Stay strong.

You're not alone and I think of every on here who helps ! Talk to your doctor for meds ...If you need to talk message me !
