Coping Strategies

I've tried everything to help with anxiety. I've had a crazy life made plenty of mistakes, hurt lot of people. I never use to care about anything. Last few years it's all hit me like a train. Sometimes think that it's karma and I deserve it. Any one got any coping strategies for when anxiety that bad it's crippling.

We reap what we sow. 

Maybe we should change what we sow?

I don´t know how exactly that crippling anxiety is tied to your life living and bad choices and mistakes. I just wanted to comment, to let you know, that someone cares. 

Someone will help you here and give you advice.

Tell me, what you tried? What are those triggers... etc


Crippling as I can't do anything, no appetite, can't sleep. All think is bad stuff in my head and makes it worse just never ending vicious cycle.

Coping strategies keeping fit really helps but thought of going anywhere public makes me feel sick. Alcohol was good one, until the next day. I'm in recovery now with the alcohol.

No, it’s not karma… nobody deserve to feel that way… I understand how you feel… your anxiety is not you… it’s a defense mechanism… I know it can be hard, but you’re not broken. I found helpful the grounding method

5 things I can see

4 things you can hear

3 things you can touch

2 things you can smell

1 thing you can taste

It’s no always easy to identify the trigger but when you begging it be Ames easier.
