MeadowFlower Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Does anyone have any tips for easing anxiety. Anxiety at anytime of the day, but also morning anxiety. Feel free also, to share any experiences of how you've overcome a time of anxiety. Link to post Share on other sites
FMW Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I take Ashwagandha when I'm feeling stressed out and anxious. It's an herbal supplement that's widely available over the counter. You can get it in capsules, I prefer the gummies. Just google and you can read about it and see if you might be interested in giving it a try. Deep breathing exercises and meditation are of course standard practices that help a lot of people. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
QTpie123 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Look up EFT tapping. It is something my IC told me to do when I get anxious. Sometimes it takes several repeats but it works! I’ll attach a link below. the IC told me it’s not something that can mess you up if you do it wrong.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have a diagnosed anxiety disorder or is something happening in your life to give you anxiety? If you have a disorder, there are medications and therapies. If it's a situational anxiety, you can use several techniques to de-escalate your anxiety as it's happening. YouTube has a ton of info. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

When I get my thoughts out onto paper, without restriction, in my own privacy, the feelings are released and even better, it becomes visible. Atleast then, I can look at it which makes it more likely for me to figure out what to do with it. It can be difficult to make sense of how you feel when the thoughts just whirl around in your head..and that can cause anxiety. Just start writing about how you feel and your day. You might feel awkward at first and might restrict yourself so nothing will come to mind but if you keep that pen on the paper and keep writing, you might come to find, you have more to write about than you realize. There you might find something. Edited February 3, 2021 by Beachead 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Alpacalia Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Exercise is a natural means of anxiety relief, particularly yoga, which works to calm down the body, both physically and mentally. A good, brisk walk is great for helping you get out of your headspace. Coloring books, drawing, etc. are a useful distraction while listening to relaxing music (like classical music).

StrongHands Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Something from the world of athletics is CONTROLLED breathing. When nerves (anxiety) start to manifest themselves, you need to control your breathing which will sort of "calm" yourself down overall. Alpaca also has some good ideas with the exercise oriented anxiety relief. Try slowing your breathing down. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
World Peace Guy Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Removing the "silver" (mercury) fillings from my teeth took away most of my anxiety. Magnesium helps me a lot as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
