I suffer more from panic attacks , also anxiety from time to time . but how I deal with them is I try excepting the feeling not been afraid every sensation you feel let it wash right over you the less you fight it and try block it out the worse it gets , I'm reading a book at the moment called dare can't recommend it enough I've suffered from them most of my life and finally this book has changed my approach to them which has helped me so so much the past few weeks , hope this helps

If it's the symptoms that are giving you anxiety try to realize that these symptoms will not hurt you it's a bluff, they are illusions the more you accept them the more you'll notice them starting to fade, God bless you

hi Hope you feeling a bit better

breath count to ten and by ten tell yourself nothing is wrong by the time you get to ten

I do this it really does help

as someone has probably already replied - breathing is important to control anxiety. I myself found an app for my fone called Paced Breathing......it is excellent for two reasons - it helps you to physically control your breathing, and it forces you to focus on something other than your thoughts. You can get this app on google play - its free. I hope this is useful for you.
