[quote=Anonymous]ESMR therapy. Revamping my diet - avoiding foods that trigger panic and anxiety and mood changes. Sought out help from a osteopath. Taking magnesium. Approved via dr. Exercising - specifically running! Also regularly practice yoga to keep my mind calm and my muscles loose. Tremendous help. I strive for 3 times a week yoga and almost daily cardio. This is weird but I’ll pass it along anyway; I truly have migraines (rarely now since changing my diet) but I have found that if I’m having a rough time and highly anxious, I will openly tell people that I’m dealing with a migraine. This is a half truth because often I will get a panic attack pre or post migraine so I have to switch gears and take care of myself. Just verbalizing that I’m struggling is a release valve of sorts and gives me not an excuse but frees me up from trying to “hold on” and pretend to be fine. In an emergency, I tell myself that if I have to leave suddenly, I’ll tell my boss it’s a migraine. Having this white lie at the ready makes me feel more in control and is soothing. Also: I have a rx for Xanax to take in emergencies only. Just having this on me (and I keep exactly one in the rx bottle) and having this always with me helps psychologically. I tell myself that it’s there and relief will be there if I’m unable to circumvent a P-A otherwise.[/quote]
