I have been diagnosed with anxiety depression I have gotten past my depression episodes with very minimal worried of relapse but I feel like I'm having an anxiety attack almost everyday. I am 28 years old just trying to figure out how to calm down after and or during an attack especially while I'm at work.

Hi Southerntech, Welcome to our amazing support group. Tamka is spot on in

telling you that meditation and deep breathing can be the key to relieving your

stress while working. You would need to start practicing it at home several times

a day until it becomes habit for you to automatically start deep breathing when you

feel this happening at work.

I have used daily meditation and deep breathing for years now and can either

eliminate the anxious feelings or slow them down within moments. When you

deep breathe you cannot be anxious. They cancel each other out. The breath

must not be a shallow one but come from deep within your belly. As you exhale

do it slowly allowing for the adrenaline to lower... You've taken the first step in

coming on to this site. As you meet others on this forum, pick and choose what may

work for you.

Depending on what your job entails, you will be able to get back control of your

emotions. Practice makes perfect. I congratulate you on a job well done with your

depression. It will happen for anxiety issues as well.
