Take deep breaths. U will be fine, it will pass. Do u like reading or watching tv? Maybe reading positive quotes online will help! I do that when i am anxious, mad, sad, or looking to be put in a optimistic mood. It always puts me in a better state. Just know it will not last forever!

Take a pen in hand, grab a notebook, and begin writing. Write how you are feeling and what you think brought on the attack. Remember that you have gone through this before and it didn't kill you. One thing to bear in mind is this: TAKE THE FEAR OUT OF YOUR SYMPTOMS. Tell yourself this will be short lived, it isn't dangerous, and that you refuse to be afraid of it. Taking the fear out of your symptoms is the very first thing to do when anxiety strikes. Breathe deep and slowly: Inhale to the count of four, hold for one count, and exhale to the count of eight. Then repeat until your symptoms begin to subside. When you are out of your panic and able to think more clearly, keep writing what you are feeling and you'll see that you are feeling calmer as the minutes pass.

What I do is I close my eyes and talk to God in my head and ask him to take all my fear and anxiety away and fill me with peace. I keep repeating that over and over and it eventually goes away. I feel his presence and im not afraid anymore. Remember it won't last forever it's only temporary!

I agree with the previous comments, write your bad feelings down as they happen and read the positive, uplifting quotes. I also like to think about all the things I've overcome in life, it reminds me that this is only temporary.

Also, a side question, you mentioned being on Buspar, my doctor prescribe that to me and I'm not sure what I think about it. I took half of a 5mg one yesterday and then today, I'm not big on wanting to take medicine and I didn't like the fact that my doctor said I'd have to take it a few weeks before it started working. But it sounds like from your post that it's pretty fast acting. Thank you in advance!

Ihave been takin buspar for about 6 months now andit works great. I take it 3 times a day and takes about an hour to take effect. Now I lost my medical coverage though I might not be able to getit for awhile. Thank God I got a whole bottle left yet. If you have any more questions just let me know would gladly answer them. Have a great day now. Time to walk the dog soon in the rain:(

also a note on buspar I am on 30mg 3 times a day now it works well though:)

I hope you can get your coverage again, I know it's difficult to have anxiety and not have our 'security blanket' if you will. Does the Buspar take away your negative and constant thinking? I over-think a lot but I also always worry I have something wrong with me, brain tumor/aneurysm, etc. I'm wondering if it will take it away for me. I know it works differently for everyone. Hope it didn't rain long!!

BusPar almost worked immediately for me. It doesn't take away the worry, but it does the panic/anxiety feeling-The physical symptoms of anxiety.

anxiety is back in a major way again. It seems tobe coming on more ad morelately but I think it has alot to do with my living conditions and my lifestyle. It sucks big time. The buspar works to take away to syptoms but not the worrying part unfortuately. I am shakingnow as I am typing this I was in a store before and it just came over me and i broke out in a sweat and had to leave the store and go sit in my car for awhile. NOt a good feeling. Well going for a walk in a litte bit with the dog so maybethat will help some. Hugs to everybody and thanks for the advice and kind words.....
