[quote=Anonymous]I have anxiety. As an adult, I've learned lots of techniques to manage it. I would say when I start to feel overwhelmed and the anxiety setting in, I quite literally feel like there is an energy zapping through my body that makes me feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin. As a kid, I remember hitting myself. Or breaking something by squeezing it too hard. As a teen, a cut very superficial (like paper cut deep) or did something to cause some small amount of pain. This settled that energy. Ive learned grounding and breathing exercises now so I no longer feel that need to physically get that energy out. He doesn't want to do this. But he probably feels like he needs to because his skin is crawling. Work with him on techniques to calm himself. The 5 things you see, 4 you hear, 3 you feel, 2 you smell, and 1 you taste works wonders for me. [/quote]
