New to 7 cups
40 yr old male. Dealing with anxiety for about 4 years, mainly anxiety about my health when feeling physical symptoms (quite often). Live alone, single, anxiety generally more prominent when I'm alone which is quite often. Any advice to better deal or help when it becomes overwhelming. I practice medidation and breathing techniques and see therapist every couple of weeks.

Hello,
When I have anxiety I spend lots of time chatting on 7cups, and I try to write rhymes that describe my mental health state of mind. I've written a couple decent poems. I used to get extremely manic and paranoid which paralyzed me with an overwhelming feelings of fears combined with my over-thinking things looking for answers to situations that have no answers, so all my efforts only serve to burn up my brain in an overload mode. I quit drinking 31 days ago and I'm trying to lose about 65 pounds (I lost 45lbs already in 10 months).
When anxiety strike they main key to overcoming the grips it tries to have is by fully occupying your mind and time on something very interesting to you. Look for distractions, and avoid triggers. Some people find very creative ways to avoid triggers and some even relocate. Tag me any time. Have a calm peaceful night!
Blessings, Day
