Who struggles with anxiety?

Question

If you do then comment down below how you cope with it. Tips and tricks to help!!☺️

Answer

Almost everyone has anxiety. It’s one of the most common mental disorders in the world. 
Personally, I cope with it by working out, talking to people, having alone time, and making sure I get enough rest.
If I start to have a panic attack, I need to get myself alone, close my eyes, turn the lights off if I can, and take slow deep breaths.

Answer

This is not a healthy way to cope, but I put on a mental mask and tell myself anything that hits the surface won’t hurt me until I’m alone and can take the mask off. Though at first I was dying inside, I’ve learned to slowly cope better in social interactions

Answer

Exercise! I started taking a zumba class and the group is amazingly supportive. We encourage each other and while moving, it's hard to think of anything BUT the dance. Walking is good too, the fresh air and sunshine do wonders for me.

Answer

I’m on antipsychotic drugs for it. Antidepressants didn’t work for me so he had to switch me over. It’s worked wonders for me. Environmental triggers still get me sometimes and once I’m in a panic attack I just have to ride it out. But I don’t get them daily anymore. Maybe two or three times a month at the most. I have insomnia though so if I can’t sleep I get really anxious. I’ve experimented with a lot of medication to help me sleep and things like unisom sleep gels, zquil, and Benadryl help me sleep. I also left jobs that were bad for my mental health. I’m not friends with people with negativity around them. The biggest thing was I stopped drinking as much as I used to. I partied for 6 years. Drank constantly. And drinking makes anxiety worse. Now if I do drink it’s like casual with dinner or a special occasion. I feel so much better now.

Answer

I don’t have coping skills. But it takes my sleep so I take melatonin every night. My separation anxiety is worse. I wish I had a prescription because it’s bad.

Answer

I've tried pills to help and it kinda did bc I took them at night to sleep but I would wake up with a bad headache so I stopped taking them. Now I kind of just power through it. Soon I hope to try a different kind to see if it helps. I have insomnia which I've read if you treat the anxiety part then the insomnia is treated with it.
