How do I deal with my anxiety?

For right now..I'd go to youtube.com...search for MEDITATION/BREATHING/RELAXATION type videos,that might help.

Also...have you been to any type of therapy at all???? Maybe look into CBT/DBT,this is a Behavioral Therapy that might be able to assist you in looking at "triggers"(the things that are causing you anxiety) differently.

Also,make sure your diet is good,if not start taking a MULTI VITAMIN,and an OMEGA 3# SUPPLEMENT(fish oil),Omega has been studied to help Mental Health issues in some people...and your body NEEDS it anyway,so unless your getting it thru diet,you need to take it via supplement,you can find it at any drugstore,under 10$.

Ask the Doctor about either an antidepressant OR a drug called NEUROTIN,Neurotin(hopefully I spelled that right lol),can be similur to a Benzo(Xanax),but yet has no addiction potential...it takes a few days to work...but it might do wonders for you.

The only issue is it's "off lable" for Mental Health use,meaning your Insurance might not cover it for that reason....so it's probably only an option IF you can afford to pay out of pocket for it:-(

Good Luck Hun:-)

distract yourself, try and solve a problem to big to solve (one of my favorites is trying to imagin the infinate from the outside, ect). accept you can't solve it and that it's a distaction, it's passing time til you can be medicated again.

If you can find something to focus on like a book, series of movies ect, that'd be good to.

Limit "worrying time" to 30 - 45 mns, daily, possibly when you get home, or after your evening meal, but not too close to bedtime, after which, resolve firmly to refuse to worry again on that day. To do otherwise would be counterproductive to your mental health, and enjoyment of life. Having had your "worry time" for the day, you can just write down any more thoughts that come to mind, and say to yourself: "Well, I'll just have to worry about that tomorrow, won't I?". It's important to regularly monitor, and deal with a negative internal monologue (self talk), or mental process, such as disturbing thoughts, images, impulses, or emotions, by the process of (a): recognising it, and (b): challenging it immediately. Technique For Re-Programming Negative Thoughts: When you notice something negative, such as: "I can't do this/ am never going to get over this!" or: "Why am I always so useless/such a loser?" or even an image, emotion, or a memory; recognise that it is being generated from the negative part of your mind. Having identified and labelled it, visualise a large, red, flashing, "STOP!" sign, and/or possibly a stern faced person wagging an index finger at you in a negative manner, then say to yourself as forcefully as you can, even aloud in a big voice, if alone: "I know this tactic: GO AWAY FOR A WHILE !!!" You may want to use either: "ruse", "ploy", "game", or "trick". In the case of an image, visualise a large "STOP" sign, or your preferred version. Some people go so far as to keep a wide rubber band in their pocket, then put it around their wrist, when they catch themselves backsliding, stretch and release it, as a method of reprogramming their mind sooner, but I don't regard it as being strictly necessary. Remember to remove it, afterwards, if you use this method. Try replacing a negative thought with a positive affirmation of your choice, like: "I am a unique individual, with my own set of skills, and good points", or "I may not be perfect, but I'm doing the best I can, right now".

Practice a relaxation method, daily, and when needed, such as http://www.drcoxconsulting.com/managing-stress.htm... or http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/mindbody/a/Meditat... or http://www.wikihow.com/Meditate or the Yoga Nidra (no flexibility required) at http://your-mental-health.weebly.com/l.html and/or Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or regular yoga. Give the EFT a good tryout, to see if it helps you. It is free via the searchbar at www.mercola.com "EFT" & "EFT therapists" or www.emofree.com Professional is best. - There is a version for use in public places, (if you like, you can claim to have a headache, as you massage/lightly tap your temples, but you would then be restricted to subvocalising: saying it to yourself in your mind: "Even though I have anxiety, I deeply and completely accept myself." Herbal remedies, such as chamomile, passionflower, or St. John's wort, are often effective, but the idea is (as with anxiolytic medication) to use them like water wings, or training wheels on a bicycle, providing initial support, and giving time for other treatments, such as therapy, and relaxation techniques, to take effect. See http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/conditionsatod/a/A... Imagine, as vividly as you possibly can, that your concerns, anxieties, worries, fears, your self-recriminations, all the agonizing "I'm-so-Stupids"; every painful "I-can't-do-it", etc., are huge raging, hurtful bulls snorting and charging at you. You see them coming at you and you hold out your red matador's cape at arms length and simply let them charge right by. Every time they come at you, hold out your arm with the red cape and let them rage and snort and go right on past.
