Managing stress
Hi all! I’m medicated for anxiety and trying to get more active but I still struggle with taking time to relax and and worrying. I worry all the time and it sits like lava in my stomach when I get worked up. Does anyone have some things they do to help manage? Thanks :)
I use distracting to help me through worry. I play a game on my computer that gives my mind a break from the worry. If you like art, try adult coloring or wood burning. These are cheap things that have helped me. I also play guitar and sing. These thing don't fix my problems and I do pick the worry back up. However, it gives my body a break for a short time.
One other thing I thought I would mention. Cold water can help with getting my mind to stop focusing on worry. Splash your face with cold water or ice on the head. More anxiety attacks this helps with.
