@Rbarros82 oh goodness what a beautiful country to be in! Yes you must be strong even when it hard. When you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up. Do something that makes you happy today even if it’s small watch your fav movie get your favorite food do something for yourself :)

@Rbarros82Hey there. This is common. I've done some tips on my anti anxiety toolbox posts. Check them out. I hope they help. You got this. Don't stress. It passes. The trick is to not let it scare you. Even though it is scary, tell yourself, you're not afraid of it. Its just a passing thing. @antianxietytoolbox

Im trying a lot of stuff. Meditation. Workout. But it’s very severe lately. Hard to come out of the house. Stopped working for the first time ever. I’m scared of losing everything. Not even Xanax is helping a lot

Hey. Tks for stopping by. I can’t really answer that. Can’t find pleasure or solace in much. My physical symptoms are too strong and always present. I’m trying meditation. Medication. Walking. Eating well. No drinks. No smoke. No drugs. What works for you?

@Rbarros82

Anxiety can be difficult and especially when experiencing all those things.

What works for me is to focus on the sensation at the soles of my feet when I walk, counting the number of times I blinked, and thinking of food I like.
