So I am back again with yet another bout of unwavering anxiety/panic. It's been 5.5 weeks, and the past 2 have been the hardest. I wake up with it and have it almost all throughout the day - all the usual symptoms. I just don't know what to do anymore. I have some pretty strong health anxiety too so I'm unable to try new meds for now.

I go to my normal coping skills: deep breathing, walks, showers, meditation music. Sometimes this helps but then it comes back.

How do you get through rough periods? Am I missing any solid coping skills that help you? Any input would be so appreciated.

Right there with you. Have you looked up different types of therapy that might help? You are doing some great things already but it could be helpful to add something in terms of therapy even if it is online or workbooks you can print out? You got this!

Hi Liz,

I am sorry to hear about the tough time you are going through currently...I too know how diffcult these set backs can be.

Keep up the great work with all the coping skills you are working...and seek to add some news ones such as progressive muscle relaxation, positive mantras, journaling, ect...

...and as Faith suggested, therapy is always something that is recommended....so considering this option may be something to consider. (or revisiting)

Keep posting with us as well. We will be here for you, and support is key.

Hang in there. Better times are coming!

Thank you so much! I do have a therapist but haven't been able to go as much as I was going due to my schedule. This is a reminder that I need to make time for it. It does help!

I'm definitely going to look into some of the other suggestions. I'm just hoping that this passes soon. It's exhausting. But I thank you so, so much for the positivity and support. It's hard to explain these things to people who haven't been affected by it. Even though I'd never wish this ok anyone, knowing there's a community of support is so helpful. So THANK YOU!

And Heyitsfaith - We'll getbthrough this!
