How do you best deal with your anxiety?

[jsprings9983]

I have a lot of problems with anxiety. I don't want my first choice to be to go to the doctors and get something prescribed. I have fluttering in my chest at least once a day, and about every other day does it progress to shortness of breath, tunnel vision/dizziness, and more fear of it getting worse, which of course doesn't help stop it.

What are some of the things that you do to help? Minus exercising (as I also have mono, so I can't exactly hop on the elliptical

Thanks!

You could try meditation. Find something you like to do at home alone, like scrapebooking. Being crafty and doing meditation help build your self confidence. I hope I was able to help in some way.

walking can help, have you tried listening to meditation music while havingthese attacks i also suffer from this at them things help me out start listening to meditation music as soon as you feel one coming on, and if you have them while you are laying down trrying to go to sleep listen to deep sleep music i though it wasnt going to help me but it worked like a charm

When i have a annixity attack my husband will stand me up lift my hands above my head help me breathe slow and deep and open a window so the cool ait slow deep breathes and always elevate yours above your head and that should help if not then honistly getting something like xanax or valiume will help but only take when ur panic or annixity attacks are coming on..
