Feeling like I’m drowning

[Bugaboo7]

I recently graduated college &’ although I should be excited &’ relieved about it ending, I feel the complete opposite. I know I have to look for a full time job now &’ start my life &’ honestly, I am so scared. I have struggled with anxiety ever since I was in elementary school &’ I’m taking Zoloft for it &’ it has been helping but lately, my anxiety feels like it’s controlling me. I don’t know what to do or how to calm myself down &’ frankly, I am so tired of living this way. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips on what works for them when they are having a panic attack?

You might check out the DARE Anxiety book and youtube videos to learn about what is going on with your anxiety and realize you aren't going crazy and find out how to constructively deal with it. The more you learn about it and understand it the more it lessens the fear about it. Another good one to check out is the youtubes/website of Paige Pradko. You can definitely overcome your anxiety if you make a commitment to doing it.
