Anxiety out of control

[SamanthaBuckland]

Hi guys,

Hope everyone’s doing ok. It’s just a quick question regarding anxiety. Has anyone got any tips that you find useful to help you calm your anxiety? I’m really struggling to be myself again & the anxiety is taking over my life. Thanks

It's horrible isn't it.

Your not on your own, I tried bachs temedy which is good.

Try and talk to your doctor if you csn, mine was very helpful

Yeah it’s not great I must admit. Ok, I’ll see if that helps. Yeah I’ve spoken to them, but think the Sertraline is making my anxiety worse.

Journaling, crying, praying, talking with friends, Lexapro, exercise, listening to Charles Stanley, facing my fears exposure therapy by Claire Weekes, ambien to help sleep, deep and slow breathing

Aw thank you LynnAlice. I’ve already started the journaling but I’ll give the rest a go!

I’ve not taken settaline. Doctors prescribed it. The withdrawals etc I’m afraid of addiction. I’m not about to jump into another drug unless I get really desperate.

What’s helping me somewhat is excercising.

I try to jog everyday and cycling once a week.

It’s been helping me get through so much that I have also signed up for swimming classes.

Try it for a week.

Jog Everyday for a couple of kilometres.

Slow fast whatever. Work up a sweat. It will help you.
