***What do YOU use for Anxiety Attacks???***

Question

So I’ve been overcoming depression along hand with anxiety, I’ve been very successful with my depression as I have been overcoming it on my own for a year now. I actually lost 15 pounds and I’m very happy
Although I’m very happy now I get hit with random sadness and the feeling in the pit of my stomach that makes me wanna throw up and I start crying for sometimes it’s no reason.. I want this feeling to stop.
I’d like to know if you ladies use any off the counter drugs for these anxiety attacks. Also what do your attacks feel like? Please comment. TIA ❤️
Update: has anyone tried Hyland’s Nerve Tonic?

I'm going to follow. During my last panic attack I convinced myself I was going to suffocate if I didn't keep telling myself that I needed to breath.

hi! i’m someone who is diagnosed with anxiety disorder, so i totally know how this feels like. there are definitely ways to prevent one, but once you’re going through one, you can’t get out. 
some tips to prevent one: 
• as you feel like you’re drifting from the world, ATTACH yourself to ANYTHING around you as soon as possible, even if you’re doing it mentally. follow this procedure, shown below:

• i also suggest blasting relaxing, nature music in your ears. you can make a quick search on youtube and find a ton that suits you. this works because as you feel like you’re drifting away from the world, you can bring yourself back by listening to familiar sounds that trap out the sounds around you. 
while you’re having a panic attack, i sadly have nothing to suggest. fighting against it is a losing battle, you should just cry it out. 
if you’re having these quite often, i recommend seeing a therapist or even a psychologist. if you aren’t able to reach one for whatever reason, i would just consult a local doctor that can not only diagnose you and prescribe you with some medication, but they can give you suggestions to therapy. hope this helps! ❤️

Oh my god I have these a lot I had no idea they were anxiety attacks

Answer

Anxiety attack: shakiness, sweaty/clammy hands, sweating, faster breathing, fast heart beat, intense feeling in your stomach (irritable bowl syndrome) want to throw up, *feeling scared, thinking of the worst, it feels like you are dying and it's the end of the world*
You could have some of these going on then it's anxiety, mild or severe. Anxiety is just extreme worry-ness (is that a word?) for no reason. I don't know if there's any OTC medicine for it, but you should look up tips to calm down. 
Distract your mind, think of a happy memory, your favorite song, your favorite person. Remember to breathe, breathe in counting to 4, hold it for 3, breathe out counting 8, repeat. Close your eyes and think of a happy memory, distract your mind anyway you can from the scary thoughts. It will pass soon. I hope you get better soon. I'm currently taking no medication and seeing a therapist on and off for it and it's hard. Ask your parents if you could see someone to help you better. 
Drinking tea can help a lot. Chamomile or lavender are the best for anxiety in my opinion. Chamomile calms your stomach and lavender relaxes you, I take a combination of both (they sell them at Walmart). Heat up the cup of water for 2 minutes with the little packets inside, Add a spoon full of natural honey and a little packet of sugar and drink up! Tastes good, trust me.
