Social Anxiety Symptoms

Hello,

I was wondering what everyone does to control their symptoms of anxiety. I experience just about every symptom during an attack or have. This includes shaking, heart pounding, sweating, difficulty breathing, and now dizziness. I especially have felt like my breathing lately hasn't been that great and have become dizzy quite a bit, which I never had experienced before.

Anyway, if anyone has any tips on how to control these things I would appreciate it.

Thank you!

Where breathing by itself is not enough, make sure you are staying hydrated. Anxiety attacks can give you mild dehydration and those symptoms can mimic anxiety, thus adding to the feeling of being overwhelmed.

I add some music to my head to help soothe the raw edges of the anxiety and move in time to help with the breathing.

Best wishes to feeling better fast!
