[quote=Anonymous]Trying to handle my anxiety, here is what has worked. When an attack starts, drink water and take deep breaths. I have managed it enough to skip medication so far and I take valerian and st. johns wort on the worst days. I exercise a lot and that helps. Taking long walks and doing yoga help, as do other forms of exercise. Finding triggers wasn't easy for me until I worked through a few breakdowns. That is not the way to do it. I had 3 therapists and no one caught the anxiety. I didn't know until after a breakdown when I woke up not able to breathe. But knowing was a blessing. I have probably had this my whole life and not known. What really helped was figuring out my options. If staying home sick and catching up would cause a panic attack, I would figure out all my options up front so that as the situation changed, I would just change my plan. [/quote]
