Anxiety? Depression?

Anyway, I identified some things I can personally do that makes me less likely to implode, but you'll have to work out what works for you.

1) Getting to sleep at a reasonable time, getting enough sleep, getting up and out of the house.

2) Eating actual meals three times a day, even if I don't think I need them. Include a glass of orange juice somewhere in there. McDonald's and Domino's count.

3) Be careful of my caffeine dose over the day. I need one cup of coffee in the morning to function properly in mathsey things, another in the afternoon can be nice, but more than that or taking them too close together is bad news when I'm already stressed. My heart starts racing.

4) When I start getting panicked, I know that much of it is a physiological reaction: my heart is pumping overtime, and that feels bad, and my breathing is probably mucked up. So, I control that bit. Long slow breathes out. I find it help to pretend you're singing: one quick breathe in, then slowly breath out until the end of the line. Keep going.

5) Remember that you've felt like this before, and that when you looked at the situation afterwards, when you felt better, it didn't look so impossible. What things do you actually have to do, and what can be reasonably dropped? What about if it wasn't you, but someone else? Would you think they could drop some of the things? Would you think it was terrible if they messed something up?

6) For general advice, I often find it helps to imagine explaining the problem to someone you normally trust on this sort of thing, and then imagining what they'd say. Or imagine someone a bit younger than you had the same problem: what would you suggest?

7) If all else fails, go for a walk. And make sure you get to talk to actual people every so often.

Oh, also, a while ago I realised I'd forgotten to make sure I had iron in my diet, and had accidentally eaten my way anaemic. So I had a big push over a few weeks to get it back up, then made sure I was scheduling meals in over the week that had decent levels of iron. And ate more dried apricots. Also realised vit C had somehow become a problem, so orange juice.

That was making me feel pretty crap.

I was going to add something, but you pretty much said all I was going to say :) Good comment.
