Have anxiety. It's gotten worse in the last 6 months. Mostly due to a micromanaging boss and a very complicated refinancing mortgage. Plus general finances and relationship issues. Normally one-on-one I have no problem and can get by with just some medication. But lately with so many things at once it was been very hard to take on all at once. Had a couple panic attacks one which land me in the hospital. Very little sleep. Boiling just under the surface. Is on SSRIs for quite a few years which work well but side effects aren't very well good for relationship. On buspar now seems to work for the anxiety but now I feel irritable, have irregular heartbeat, and don't sleep very well. Any suggestions on natural anxiety remedies?

My own experience with panic attacks has lead me to chamomile lavender tea, 2 teabags per cup. I'm also a cannabis user. Indica strains help calm me enough to sleep. Saliva makes my anxiety worse. Guided meditation can help too. Especially when the voice is soothing to me.

Welcome to the community. I'm sorry you are struggling. Panic attacks are the absolute worst. When I had one I couldn't sit still, I had to get up and move. Sometimes I would just pace in the house or if I could get outside I would.

I'm on medication and I've had tons of therapy. I do like to put on meditation when anxiety gets high as it takes my mind off whatever is going on around me.

I wish you the best. We are here to support you

Interesting you mention getting outside if you can; me too. Escaping the house, when my body lets me, seems to help

It's a form of escape isn't it. Like we are trying to get away from it. I really don't know where that energy comes from but it's a must do.

I've been thinking of you.
