Daughter with anxiety

[michelle2018]

My daughter who will be 21 in July has told me that she has a lot of anxiety and is unsure how to handle it. She says she is not eating much cause nothing tastes good. I am looking for suggestions on things you may do to help those nasty demons that want to occupy your brain all day long!! I have suggested journaling, coloring, reading, walking but these are things she just can’t stop working and do. OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS!! TIA

Wow, first, what a great parent you are for listening to your daughter and trying to help her. I was just out of college when my parents discovered my anxiety. I hard tried to hide it for so long. Things that helped me were things that would distract my brain from the negative thoughts. It could be random things such as celebrity gossip or talking about movies. What are some things she likes when she's not feeling anxious? Can there be some books or things she can look at? Music really helps me too.
