Look into foods that help, bananas are very good but there are others. On YouTube you can find vids on breathing techniques that will help. Also when you feel anxiety kicking in try to go do something to take your mind off it, draw, listen to music go walking, exercise is really good for it.

Ok. My suggestion is if and I mean if you are not currently taking anything for anxiety, I would say a natural supplement called Tranquilene. It's online only. I would also consult your doctor before taking anything natural. Are you on any other medication?

in reply tomdooms

No I only take Bayers and from time to time I do take benadryl....it said on in a site I was on that benadryl is good for anxiety but it don't work

Benedryl is not for anxiety. Kalm is a good one also. It contains magnesium also which is good for our bodies.

in reply tomdooms

Ok thank u in a stop taking benadryl and fixing to head ti Wal-Mart later to get them

I noticed that since I have been putting chia seeds in my yogurts or smoothies, I feel A LOT better. Google the benefits of chia seeds for anxiety. They're natural and not a form of medication. Also, when my nerves feel bad I eat a little celery and it really calms me down. For the last few months I was in a deep depression, panic attacks EVERY DAY, and anxiety. I don't feel depressed anymore, just anxious/panicky here and there but I haven't had any medicine, just a little work out here and there and eating foods high in magnesium. I haven't even been taking my iron pills regularly (but I will). Give the natural foods a try. 😊😊

Bachs rescue remedy spray. You can also get in on chewing gum (chewing helps distract from anxiety), drops for your water, tabs for your tongue etc. They also have a night range.

Reading helps.

I eat a banana and drink sparkling water. There's something in the carbonated water that helps with blood sugar levels. Good if the anxiety interferes with eating.

Breathing exercises. I download from youtube x
