Hi bpm and welcome!

I am so sorry to hear that your anxiety has recently returned. You have been through a lot, and have overcome some tough situations...so I am confident that with some help and support, you will also have victory over this phase as well.

You mentioned medication that helped you in the past...are you still currently taking anything?

Also, have you ever been to, or sought therapy? This form of treatment is very effective for long term anxiety management, and you may want to consult your doctor about a referral.

In the mean time, you can check out our Resource Guide. It is full of great self-help ideas that could possibly give you relief right away. The links to the breathing and relaxation exercise videos are especially good to check out. Doing these everyday can significantly reduce over-all stress and symptoms.

I hope that you get the answers that you need soon. Keep posting here with us. We understand and are listening!
