Feeling sad from anxiety.

[Dolphin80]

Going through a terrible time with anxiety, panic attacks. My mood is down now too, could be due to pms, but also due to me not knowing how to control my anxiety, panic attacks.

Supportive words please.

It will get better. I know that sounds like empty words because I heard them many times but I believe that it all gets better. You are strong!

Hi Dolphin. Do your best to move through those feelings. Also use this site as a resource- go through old posts and search anxiety attacks. There's a boatload of great info on here.

You are not alone. I know it's hard. There are many ways of coping..learning to meditate, yoga, exercise, journaling, supportive friends, good therapy.

One thing that helps me is to remember times I've had anxiety in the past and that those times didn't last forever; it reminds me that what I'm experiencing now will pass too. It can be so, so hard in the moment, but you got this. I assume you've experienced this kind of thing before and gotten through it, so remind yourself that you can get through it again and try to do something you enjoy to get your mind off it.

Also, if PMS is a factor, my answer to that is always CHOCOLATE, lol. But seriously, find a way to treat yourself to something you enjoy, even something small. Reward yourself for taking steps to get through this. And I'll pray for you, if knowing that helps you at all. It's going to be okay.

I relate and I've tried a lot to get myself through this, and it is slowly working. But it is working. If I can get better so can you. I truly believe this.

I know exactly how you feel. What I keep trying to tell myself is it is just anxiety, and it will go away and the feelings will too. I am in some kind of little episode but I know it’s happened before and I’ll get through it again.

Thank you all.

I have a routine now for my pan nick attacks and anxiety. First I go for a walk if that doesn’t work I take clonazepam and if that doesn’t work I smoke medical marijuana. Which by the way if I do the last first it always takes it away but for me it’s a last resort because I have teenage boys who do not need to see their mom high. I’ve had anxiety and panicked attacks for over 20 years and only figured out this routine works for me two years ago
