Debilitating Anxiety: Seeking Quick Fixes

Do you move around any or do it keep you mostly house or bed bound?

Emotional support pet or future service dog? 💕

Medication didn’t benefit me but I finally found a breathing technique that helps a little. You breathe in through your nose till you can’t anymore, then breathe in a little extra, then breathe out slowly but forcefully and steadily through your mouth. Repeat until you feel better. It’s proven to slow down heart rate

Honestly pray God can do all things it's just on his timing I am believing for my healing from this anxity and panic also ....have u tried benadryl it seems to help me at times

I have a relaxation hypnotherapy I can privately send to you if you would like to try it

I'm exactly the same don't worry about it. I'm currently going to therapy 3 times a week and seeing a hypnotherapist as well as doing my own meditation daily

The brand pink sells some stress less gummies that I've tried a few times, and they do seem to help me calm down when I'm panicking. Otherwise, my biggest trick is fidget toys. When I'm feeling anxious, I keep a stress ball or something in my pocket and I'm not afraid to play with it out in the open. It lets me redirect some of that panicking, nervous energy to something less detrimental to my health. You might also try some self-help books. There are loads of available on Amazon, including one that I just downloaded and I'm going to start to read called hardcore self-help: f**k anxiety. All of these can be found on Amazon. It's not much, but I really hope something here helps. You also need to try and identify what triggers your panic attacks. Is it crowds? Is it noise? Is it a specific situation like having to get up and talk to people? Once you identify your triggers, you can start to learn to manage them better.

Hot shower, sit in the tub if need be with the shower on you. Try to just feel the water. What do you smell. What do you taste. What do you hear. Just focus on your five senses. The five senses also works without a shower to calm down. It's a grounding technique.

While distraction isn't the best for a long term solution, it's one of the only ones I've found helps me. I'm also here if you wanna talk <3
