I need help w my anxiety
I have been struggling with anxiety for almost 4 years now, but every time I have an anxiety attack or need help, I never know what to do. So the only thing I do is wait it out until I feel better. Does anyone know any methods to deal with anxiety? Thank you!

Hey! Sorry to hear you been struggling so long. May I ask if you have either tried medication or therapy for the anxiety in the last four years? Also, how do you feel about grounding techniques?
No I haven’t, it started when I was pretty young so I was scared to tell anyone what was going on. But I’m currently trying to find a therapist. And I’m very open to any techniques or methods that could help me!
Hi there
I use a warm water bottle it helps me alot
Other wise i will rub a ice cube on my neck and face and down on my arms and even sipping on cold water helps me.
Try breathing
Try fokus on something else like read a book
Or watch a movie that you enjoy
If you enjoy worship that also works

Hi i have enclosed a guide on panic attacks that has helped me in the past.
One way I handle them is to write down at that moment things that are upsetting me or making me worry, then I find a way to simply work out those problems and keeping them in a coping skill toolbox to use any time I may have that anxiety again
