Meds are a 2 edge sword, yes they help. But for me personally meds make me so tired and cause a lot of digestive problems. Especially constipation. For me smelling peppermint helps and going somewhere that is outside and I can be alone. I take deep breaths and really focus on slowing my breathing down

I’ve benefitted a lot from taking Ashwaganda (herbal supplement, it can be found in any drug store and most grocery stores), reading the Bible consistently, and being more mindful of what I’m taking on. I also have sensory issues and so being aware of when I’m approaching a “boiling point” so to speak is really helpful in self regulating.

I like taking baths for like an hour and maybe use some Epson salt or the bubble bath stuff and it makes me feel very relaxed especially in stressful situations.

Magnesium glycinate & therapy. I’ve found that a lot of people with anxiety have trauma that needs to be worked through. Many have PTSD.
