Take a deep breath in, as you slowly exhale, let your body relax. Do this several times. Now, if your problem is anxiety, find a therapist trained in anxiety disorder. Just having someone to talk to is reassuring. They are discreet and attentive, they went to school to learn how to help people like us who have anxiety issues. Understand that you cannot get better in a day, accept that fact. It took us time to get as anxious as we are, it will take time to recover from it too. Start learning what anxiety is and what it does to us, how it affects our lives day to day. Educating yourself is a key part of recovery, when we understand what is going on in our bodies and mind, we are better prepared to help ourselves. Prepare to do whatever is necessary to recover. Attitude is important. A good therapist can guide you to learn techniques that will help you understand and gain more insight into your anxiety, what is driving it, like negative thinking, low confidence in yourself, ....Deep relaxation breathing is a good tool to learn, you can research and learn how to do it. It helps a lot. Don’t expect immediate results, it takes time for your body and mind to learn to be relaxed again, don’t give up, it will happen with diligent practice.

Have you had a doctor confirm it’s anxiety? Tremors can be caused by other things and it really needs checking out. Good luck

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

You've taken the important first step in writing it out.

One of the first things to do to help figure out what's happening with the tremors is keep a written record of when, where, who, what, and how it happens.

Anxiety tremors are treated with even breathing exercises and gentle motion exercises designed to loosen the tightened muscles fast naturally. This can be done anywhere.

When you have repetitive motion tremors, it becomes necessary to loosen those muscles and do the exercises regularly to help the muscles find calm relax.

Playing music is soothing, so when it becomes painful to play, often taking time to write out everything, feelings, emotions, thoughts, and words will release the pain naturally. It takes time to work through everything.

Best wishes as you find your better balance.

Hello Elsa. Welcome to DS.

I'm not A Guitarist, nor A Musician, but my guitar is one of my most effective anxiety management tools. I play standing up with a guitar strap. Gut pain is one of my most common anxiety symptoms and just having the guitar's sound box and its sonic resonance resting against my belly is a nice little belly massage, all by itself. On the days I am to shaky to get my fingers to work right, just playing open strings and adding whatever vocal harmonies I can muster can go a long way toward stabilizing my condition. Singing and humming get my vote as the best breathing exercises available. Moving around while I play adds in exercise and gentle stretches. I call this little therapy tool, "Guit-chi." It works when I work it and I am worth it.

But that is me and every case is unique. . .

Gentle support while you find what works for you. Welcome aboard.
