Question

What do you do that calms your anxiety attacks?!

Answer

I keep this in my phone

Answer

EMDR has helped my with my severe anxiety. I use to constantly be anxiety ridden. EMDR has made it so I don't need medications anymore, except as a back up.

Answer

I have debilitating anxiety attacks. My husband usually has to talk me down from them by asking me easy questions (what'd we eat for dinner, where are we, etc). The most important thing for me personally is not to fight it as that makes it worse. I need to cry and shake and just lose myself because if I force it down, it hits me harder. I actually just had one tonight and he had to hold my hand and ask me a million questions to get me back to the present. Try finding something real (a blanket, a pet, anything) and focus on it.

Answer

Medication

Answer

Deep breathing, and usually a walk seems to help. If I can't do that, I go to the bathroom look myself in the mirror an I literally talk myself down. When I'm not pregnant I take my Valium if this doesn't work.

Answer

Walk around if im having one i usualy have to walk around and it helpsnthe blood flow it works!! And if you are say at school (dont know your age) ask to go to the bathroom

Answer

Breathe through it. And write. I make lots of lists, which get my thoughts organized so I don't have as much swirling around in my head. Music -- singing and dancing.

Answer

I get them so bad that I feel like I could pass out. I question everything from is this reality I'm in real to am I going to die. I get so anxious and worked up that I don't know how to calm myself down. Breathing doesn't help. And I find it I lay down it makes it worse. Even driving makes me so nervous now that my man has to drive me because I get such bad panic attacks over nothing. Or when I'm around new people I feel faint. My neck muscles are so tense my jaw is so cramped because of my anxiety. It's so rough, I'm so nervous about trying anxiety medication because I know it's rough the first bit of getting used to them.

Answer

Smoke a joint. Always calms me down and brings me to reality

Answer

I had to get medication for anxiety. I couldn't function most of the time before.
