Re: Venting/Need Advice (TW: Depression/Anxiety)

Hello, anon. :) Take it easy for now.

I usually time off in a quiet, dimly lit place and pay attention to my breathing. I've started taking yoga class this year and I've picked up some tips on how to be mindful of physical symptoms of oncoming panic attacks. One of the things I picked up is trying to picture in my mind areas of my body where I feel particularly tense and to channel breath into that spot through simple inhalation/exhalation. It takes your mind away from what's triggering the anxiety and stops feelings of despair from being too intense. For me, it's helped just enough to let me get away from all the destructive thoughts in my head, lets me regroup, so I can deal with the situation when I've calmed down.

That's all I can seem to give you for today. I've been dealing with my current anxiety issues too, and I'm just starting on applying CBT on my life since lapsing not too long ago. But I'm taking things one step at a time, one day at a time, and I've been getting better slowly.

Have you getting treatment since January/February? Please tell us here, and perhaps we can talk about options that may be open to you. You're not alone! *holds your hand*
