Welcome to the board Austinoo..... I am so sorry you're struggling.... This kind of anxiety is miserable for sure

Are you seeing a therapist ?

Staying busy is the best distraction.

I know. It took me 5 years of a weekly Buddhist meditation group to get the hang of that breathing thing. The "lovingkindness" meditation finally did it for me.

I got your reply, but sorry, I didn't follow. Perhaps if you said more.

Welcome Austin00. If you're having either obsessive thoughts or racing thoughts and distraction techniques or breathing techniques help that's wonderful. The only other thing that I can think of is medication - if nothing else helps maybe you can get some relief that way.

Hope you're feeling better today.
