Anxiety Self Help

So the anxiety and panic attacks got real bad today, instead of getting flustered and trying to fight them, I laid on the sofa with a cold flannel on my head and told it to do it's worst. I was bad for about an hour butlet the symptoms overtake me and eventually they stopped. I figured it I didn't move, my brain might realise there's no threat. I feel ok now, if it happens again I'll just keep doing it, I don't have any fight left in me anyway.

My Comments From: Dee123 Mar 08 2011, 3:47 pm You are really on the right track. It is that fear that makes the anxiety level escalate. If you keep it up...you may find that the anxiety has no power......and that would be wonderful! Keep up the good work! From: blushing_redhead Mar 08 2011, 3:31 pm Hmm, interesting coping strategy. I think that I will give it a try too. Glad you're feeling a bit better.
