Any help calming anxiety?? What do you guys do when feeling anxious? What helps ?
I focus on my breathing, remind myself that this is a strong feeling but the feeling can't hurt me, and pay attention to it as it rises, peaks, and falls away. Easier said than done.
Also, I tell myself that I don’t need to know why I’m feeling anxious I just feel anxious

I’m learning how to just accept it. Like just let the feeling be there. It is hard because you feel like you need to do something because something feels wrong but you Just have to let it be there. Also, what helps me is thinking about the last time I had a anxiety attack. It was scary but I came out of it, it didn’t hurt me. It’s just really scary.
I try to put all of my focus into doing something, whether that’s reading, sitting in front of a fireplace, or going on a walk. When I notice myself getting distracted, I try to be kind to myself and guide my attention back to whatever it is I was doing. Not always easy, but definitely helps me calm.
Anyone ever use any type of anxiety med that held fight impulsivity or urges compulsions that helped immediately?something that makes u not care or feel like doing them giving in!?! I just need something to help till my ssri meds start working?? Please options please
Having a bit of an interesting time lately, feeling like I am on a roller coaster because every day has been a bit different. Yesterday was a pretty good day, my anxiety was low and intrusive thoughts were easier to work past. What I noticed was although anxiety was low, I still felt overwhelmed by thoughts sporadically throughout the evening. This morning I had some intense feelings after waking up, but find myself almost in the same place again. Any tips or tricks that have worked for you on managing through thoughts with low anxiety?
im getting so annoyed i cant stop thinking about time and death and everything how do i stay present and cope literally almost everything is triggering me its been weeks it feels like everything is moving so slow yet so fast and i can feel every second and i keep getting random memories of things i usually wouldn’t even remember they aren’t bad but its just another reminder of time passing and the only thing that helped just enough is xanax but i cant keep taking it every day cause i dont wanna get addicted i need like natures xanax or something how do i produce the same effect a xan gives without taking one for the love of god bro as soon as i think its getting better i start spiraling an hour later and wont be able to stop and its making me feel like i need to go to a psych hospital or something but then i feel like what if im not bad enough to go to one
