Dealing with anxiety
I'm not sure how I landed in such a place of worrisome. I had a panic attack today and I'm not sure why. Maybe a mid life crisis. I see my reg Dr Wednesday to discuss more of this topic. On top of worrying I worry why don't I know why I had the panic attack. I think I don't pray enough. I'm trying to learn coping strategies like journaling, grounding,praying,imagery,staying positive. Unfortunately, when your dealing with these emotions it's very hard to put these tools into play. But I found if I write them down I can refer to the list when needed.
I have really bad anxiety… my parents do not care for mental health at all. I get what you are going through though. I have panic attacks a lot and they get so bad that I’ve almost passed out from hyperventilating. I think I realized I needed time for myself I needed time to relax. I needed time to calm down. I needed time to push away anything that was stressing me out shut my door and sit and just close my eyes and breathe. I’m not very good at giving advice and I know that. I think it’s because I haven’t had a lot of support myself but I’m writing this just to say overall you are not alone. This community loves you. I know what you’re going through and I am so so proud of you for seeking help from your doctor. I’m proud of you for everything you do. And whatever is causing you to be anxious is going to be okay. It’s all gods plan. God knows what you are going through and you don’t have to have the status of “oh I pray everyday 5 times” god knows and if you even just pray once before work or school or whatever and say “please god I am yours and you are the master. I trust in you and I pray that you would help me today and help me get through.” I am here for you. God is always with you.

- And the the anxious teen, Im very proud of who you are. I adore the support the encouraging words the faith and your overall resilience. You have so many great and powerful qualities, values, hearts, and minds at a young age. So many females are too far gone but it's refreshing to see that this is not your case. Xoxo🤗🥰🙏
Respectfully, I offer an alternate strategy. Instead of focusing on it, stressing about it. Why not get annoyed by it. Angry about it. The nerve. How dare a panic attack try to tell you what to do. Then go do something you haven't done in years. Play air hockey. Walk into a tattoo shop just to look around. Go to the mall and do that rock climb thing.
Few days of that. You be just fine

yeah when your in the state of panic attack, you can't think rationally of relaxing techniques. And for me i end up sleeping instead.
