Thread: What do you do when you have anxiety ?

How do you calm yourself?

I've had bad anxiety attacks off and on this past year.

Anyone have solutions ?

Get outside and do something.

Force yourself to go for a run or the gym or something physical, as hard as it is, force it.

Fresh air my friend, without a stupid mask on too. Fresh air.


You’ll feel a ton better.

Sleep better, lower alcohol and caffeine and stay off of social media a lot. When you feel it, and everyone feels it differently at different times, try to ground yourself. Take deep breaths, focus on things you can see, hear, smell and touch. Once you have a slight hold on it stop thinking about it. Just focus on your tv show, or your book, or whatever you’re doing.

It sucks but that grounding technique helps quite a bit.

figure out what is causing my anxiety first and foremost. theres usually a trigger.

what's your trigger?

When I had it, I had to train myself to consciously focus on my thought-patterns, and then think differently. It was my thought-patterns that triggered my anxiety. Have had some small anxiety moments this past year that I could feel catching on, but I focused on my breathing to stop the full-blown anxiety attacks. Don’t hesitate to seek professional advice, or reaching out to help in general.

Speed rope always calms me down

^ I get the same thing sometimes, go grocery shopping, heart starts beating harder and faster, face heats up, hands get ice cold, sometimes I get weird spinning head/buzzing sensations, deal with it, like a switch when I leave the store it goes away most of the time.

If it's bad you seek professional help.

If you don't believe in that or want to do it, there are a lot of techniques you can use if you search online.
