I need some tips
I know it may sound crazy but yesterday one of my friends got kidnapped. I’m not going to share the story unless someone asks because I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. Anyways back to what I was saying. So basically she got kidnapped and I’m really worried and scared because well she’s my friend. This has also caused LOTS of anxiety and I’ve been having lots panic attacks since I found out. If anyone has any tips on how to keep my anxiety down and stop having as many panic attacks please tell me, I desperately need them.
@Morgan772 🙁 I'm so sorry about your friend, that is absolutely terrifying 😥I really hope they find her safe and healthy, I will keep you both in my prayers 💖 for your anxiety I would talk to the doctor maybe they can give you something to help you through this rough patch, also talking about your feelings can really help you 💗you don't have to go through this alone we are all here for you 💗 hugs you tightly 💖
@Morgan772 I'm sorry you're going through this. I have anxiety too and some days it gets really bad. What usually helps me is journaling. I write down everything I am feeling. It helps me cope with the emotions. I also message a friend and ask them to chat with me until I calm down.
Therapy can be a good idea to learn some healthy coping mechanisms for anxiety.
Stay safe!
I am so beyond sorry about your friend and I pray that she is found safe. Do you know who kidnapped her? If so please make sure you tell the police everything you know as that can help bring her back. As for the anxiety I am so beyond sorry. I also have anxiety expecially since the loss of my daughter and I have leaved doing the 5 sense grounding technique which is 5 things you can see
4 touch
3 hear
2 smell
1 taste
Also breath in 4 seconds hold for 7 seconds breath of for 8 seconds. Those work for me.
I highly suggest taking to listeners on here and seeking therapy as they have even better things that can help you. I will be praying for you and your friend.
