Ok, i figured that the way of life and accomplishing what you want (to fulfill the wishes and needs!) is a way to beat anxiety! I just don't know what are good and what are bad stress relievers? I searched this forum a little and didnt find it so delete this post if i am wrong. My friends, that live a normal life, all drink sometimes, some of them play video games, some sport, some have good sexual life etc. I know sport and sex is good, but are games good, alchohol (sometimes and not much) because i dont want to drink, etc?

Hi Rembrant,

You are making a wise choice not to drink. It only makes depression and anxiety worse. Physical exertion (sp) can be good, but try to pace yourself. Walkinng is really good and anything that you find to be fun and relaxing. Yoga and meditation are also good. They relax the mind and body. I think that as long as you are creating small goals and acheiving them that you are doing good. And yes it will help with the anxiety. So keep up the good work. Keep posting too.

Hugs, Karen

Listen to the advice about alcohol, it will make things worse.  Keep in mind that what works for one person, may not be beneficial to another.  Anything that interest you hobby wise will be good because it takes your mind off of you for the moment and that will help.  Take time to find what you like to do, what makes your heart happy.

Thank you for advice! I always push myself to the limits, so if i sport i do some heavy practice and dont think about if it feels good or am i enjoying! One step (goal) after another!!!

O, yes, thank you! :) I will read first thing in the morning, sometimes it is better english when i have time to think (when i am not nervous). I know have small anxiety attack, but its not big deal, i learn to supress it and to ignore it. Thank for support, will post tomorow.
