Hello Dear mrs-brown,
A very warm and caring welcome to our forums,
I’m sorry you’re struggling with anxiety, I also have anxiety and find when I’m having a panic attack, deep breathing helps me a lot, counting and listening to each breath at night when I get into bed I listen to sleep stories, which I fall asleep to…Things that work for one person, might not work for others…
When we’re having and anxiety attack, it’s best to try to redirect our focus off what’s happening to your body and onto something else that helps to ground us….trying to distract your concentration onto, Listening and singing along with a song you like, meditation, deep breathing, a hobby you enjoy doing…
We have a thread here on the forums titled…”Grounding yourself, what is it and how do we”….You can search the title in the search bar, there’s lots of great suggestions on grounding ourselves through an anxiety attack….that might help you…
My anxiety was hard for me to manage, so I talked to my GP about what I was going through and she set me up with a mental health care plan, which included counselling with a professional…is this something that you might consider?..
Talk here when you feel up to it…
My kindest thoughts dear Mrs-brown..
Grandy..
