Title: cures for major anxiety anyone?
jackson - July 12, 2006 02:31 PM (GMT)
Anyone have any tips on how to control anxiety? I'm getting over-taken by it at present and don't think i'll manage to do a test i have coming up unless i get it sorted. Anyone have any secrets that work for them? I have tried booze but it's not really advisable for the test!

What works for me:
creative visualization (if you see it in a positive light, it will happen)
tea
incense & candles
taking deep breaths
a hot bath
exercising
Oh yeah, and a little :pray: helps too!
Good luck! :hug:

There's a few things in there i haven't tried caramelatina, thanks. I wonder if praying is my best bet..!

I'm sorry you're feeling anxious right now, jackson, I feel for you. Feeling that way just seems to get me in even more of a panic. I try several of the the things cara suggested, she has a great list there for you. talk it out too - you can vent here any time!
you can do this! whatever you have to get through, know that you can! are you especially anxious about the upcoming test, or many things? can you ask any friends or family members to share your responsibilities a bit right now so you can focus on what you need to do?
:bigarmhug: keep us posted and hang in there

I can sometimes have real problems with anxiety - I went to psychiatrists and whatever - and when it came crunch time - you know what I did - I put on my IOL DVD, and found myself focusing on that - and I relaxed. It might sound simple, but it worked. I had a bad patch at the start of last year, and now I have OB and some other bands, and I have found out more about myself, I realise that I feel better...!

It might sound funny but it is. That's why I'm always online when I'm home - they are addicting!

OMG yes! :thumbup: I can't begin to tell you how pissed off I was one day where I wanted to quit my job and go postal on them. :rant: I left with my gym bag, put on some INXS and 20 mins later, I couldn't care less about my job. I felt great!
Cat's right. Put on some INXS, dance in your house, you'll feel better. :bigwink:
