It really bothers me when just out of nowhere it hits - an anxiety attack!

Along with it, the air hunger - varying in intensity.

Other than prayer, meditation, deep breathing and distraction, what helps with your anxiety attacks?

Hi nan,

Sorry you are struggling with anxiety Sad

I will list all I do (some you have written) -

Meditation

Yoga

Breathing exercises - square breathing, taking a deeper breath each inhale and holding then slowly exhaling

Biofeedback exercise (heart connected with breath - slowing both down)

Visualization

But... I also have Clonazepam for times when the anxiety and panic are just out of hand and I need a little help. I take a very low dose.

Hope you can find some things that work for you

blessings,

purple
