I'd like some ideas on the kinds of things you use to help yourself get better. For instance, self help tapes, books, diet, types of exercises or activities that you find particularly useful, distraction techniques.

I have lots of my own but I'd still like some more.

Here are some of mine:

Belleruth Naparstek mp3's: Panic Attacks, Pregnancy and Childbirth, General Wellness.

She has loads, very calming, clear tapes.

Self help books: Linden, Curing Asthma Naturally - the reason I read this is because apparently correct breathing is key, and incorrect breathing can cause all types of problems including anxiety and panic attacks. Of course I've read many others but these are the ones I'm reading at the moment.

However could defo do with more exercise and a diet plan that helps anxiety.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear from you. I simply don't have the time to let this s**t get the better of me.

I have many means of helping myself relax and focus. Unfortunately, none of them are really that healthy.

Your are very right about breathing, Proper breathing techinques are crucial. I love music it frees my mind and relaxes me. Self help books, Keeping my mind busy. By doing anything. Talking with others. Anything that helps your mind veer away from negative thinking is helpful. Just because 9 times out of 10 anxiety starts with negative thinking.

I use ACT self-help workbooks. ACT is acceptance and commitment therapy. ACT has helped me a lot.
