Feeling the same …when spring comes everybody feels better but for some reason not me. Newly taking ativan also and have some pharm-phobia about that too. Taking Theanine up to 100mg per day and I think that helps, too. Going to try to get out for walk today and listen to positive talks on you tube!

I hate panic attacks. Sometimes doing some deep breathing when I first wake up helps calm my system down some... I hope it starts getting better for you!

Hi Cilly,

I am sorry you are having a difficult time currently. :( I know how challenging this can be.

I really rely on my positive mantras to keep my anxiety down, and my thoughts calm and rational.

You can use any reassuring statement that rings true for you. Here are a couple of my favorites.

"I am okay, this is just anxiety causing these feelings."

"I have been in this place before and made it through, and I can do so again."

Sending positive thoughts and prayers!

S.C.
