Some anxiety help

I thought this might be great to do.. Everyone that reads this, please post what makes you feel better during anxiety or panic attacks.. Then you can go back and read what everyone wrote and learn from eachother

Here is mine:

1. Play an online game or solitare

2. Tell myself this aweful feeling is only anxiety and I will be ok.

3. Go get a massage if you have the few extra bucks or ask your hubby or significant other for one.

4. Get into a fun hobby, like one that keeps your mind busy...

Also, depending on what area everyone is from on here.. I thought it would be kind of fun to start support groups and have meetings?!

so, what area is everyone from (if you want to share)

I am in Clarkston, MI

Kentucky. I try to tell myself that this is only anxiety but it doesn't help. It seems to be getting worse I have been on my meds for 4 days because I could no longer do it on my own. I tried. How long will it take for the meds to work?! I don't have time for this.

What works best for me is to keep building on my selfesteem and not thinking of the anxiety all the time.  I have hopped of the merry-go-round of anxiety whenever I could.

You can look to someone or something else to make you happy. But in the end, only YOU can make yourself happy. You have to be happy with yourself, have pride in yourself, be comfortable with who you are before you can truly expect someone else to feel the same about you. As the old saying goes, you have to love yourself before you can expect anyone else to love you.

If you want to go to the movies,  go and enjoy yourself. I went to the movies alone more then once this winter  and had a great time. I got the popcorn all to myself.

Kindly,

Kitt

I have a few movies that I really enjoy, I will turn one of those on. If it's summer, I go outside and get involved in a project or I play solitare. If I play cards with someone it doesn't help, for me it's has to be alone time.
