One thing that helps me manage my anxiety is.....
Visiting my grandmas grave and talking with her
Go for a nice long walk - with or without music
Have a declutter of your bedroom
Deep breathing
Sip water
Write down your concerns
@understandme07
These are really great ideas but I think the organizing of your bedroom is the best! There
Meditation helps
Meditation.
@uselesscookies Right now my heart is beating loudly in my ears. All day, in fact. Can't focus.
@Thebipolarchick Don't try to make it stop. Just let it be.
Coloring...love the adult coloring books!
Music Headphones on World off
My doggie she seems to always know when momma needs a hug.
Journaling. Get the cause off and out w/o further conflict.
Stuffing the web...learning knew things...intelligence is power, insurance is bliss...working on finding a happy medium
Going outside tend to keep myself cooped up in my house or in my room. When the soical anxiety is overpowering opening a window helps
@EBAH23 I love the coloring books too. I use a coloring book app. Its cool. That way I always have it on the go with me.
Doing something creative
listening to music and singing badly to it ( loudly)
driving
@Cherrytreecass oh wow we're really different. Driving makes me super anxious. I hate it.
@Scor3030. I guess it depends really on where Im driving. If I know where Im going and how to get there my car becomes my safe place that I can rock out and be a total dork and Im getting away sometimes on an old back road somewhere thats not crowded Ill drive a little fast I fantasize about running away maybe a little too much. Haha
but it I agree some type of driving does make me anxious. Like if I dont know how to get where Im going or if its driving in bad bad traiffic
I avoid everything negative when and if I can and I focus on everything positive. I just watch and listen to things that make me laugh and feel good.
When you are down you really have to stop everything negative entering your mind.
When the attacks come focus on your breathing and think about something really positive you have experienced or would like to happen.
You have a dream in your life so think really hard about that dream when you get another attack. Think about every detail in really strong colours, shape, form and add sound to it. Think about your favourite song or melody. Every time you have an attack go back to the same dream and visualise it the same way each time. Make it your goal to achieve it.
Each time you do you get one step closer to that dream and very soon you will own it and it becomes reality!
Pat yourself on your back each time you managed to focus on your dream even if it was only for a split second. You can do it!!!!! You have the power trust me you do! Xx
1. Anime and Manga
2. Cosplay
3. Music /snow
Thinking of childhood memories, to disconnect from everyone and listen to some music. If this ever helps someone, "undo" by bjork is my safe place. "If you are crying darling, undo"...
@convivialJar3071
i literally just sat hear and listened to that full song with everything else in scilence.
And I'm adding it to my playlist- so thanks for sharing it 😌
Reminding myself I can't be in control of every aspect of life.
