Slow deep breaths ! If you have Lavender or a Grounding (trees) Essential Oil , it helps a lot also. Sometimes I have to take a break , go to the bathroom or car and do a grounding meditation. It’s the last thing that I want to do but it seems to be the only healthy way to change the physiology.

Thanks unfortunately I don’t have access to my car. I wish I did so I can let it out . I finally had to drink a medically prescribed Xanax to calm down which I don’t like to do bc my job does random testing . But I just couldn’t take it anymore my whole body was shaking .

With in 15 min Xanax helped me relax and I felt normal . I hate drinking Xanax and only do so in extreme circumstances bc I don’t what to ever have to rely on it . But you have no idea how good it feels to be relaxed even. If it’s just for a few hours while it wears off . I feel so calm this is how I would like to feel the rest of my life minus the Xanax

Are you doing okay? I sadly don't even have a job now, I get so anxious around certain people and situations that when I've worked in the past I would run to the bathroom and just wish I could dig a hole to China or something like that. I hope you're all right, let me know if you can.

Hi yeah I’m ok now sadly I had to take a Xanax I try hard to not take them bc I have a very high sensitive job but I just couldn’t take it anymore I usually take natural herbal teas or natural anxiety pills but they don’t seem to work . I take b12 , magnesium, d3 everything and they don’t help me . Xanax weighing 15 min I’m good smh I wish I didn’t have to take that . I know how u feel I be feeling the same way yup exactly how I feel like digging a hole somewhere smh it’s a sad thing what we go through and some people just don’t understand and take it so lightly I would give anything to feel normal . sorry to to hear about your job. Hopefully you will be able to find something soon . Where are you from?

Michigan, USA. And I'm just stagnating.
