Re: How do you deal with anxiety or panic?

[(Anonymous)]

For actual attacks I have to use a method whose name I've long forgotten, but basically I touch things and focus on the texture and sensation. I learned it as part of my cognitive therapy for borderline personality disorder.

To deal with issues that cause me anxiety, I usually turn to other people for help figuring out how to accomplish whatever it is that caused the anxiety. I only get anxious over things that overwhelm me and it's rare that I can ignore those things. This week I have to get my car registered in my new state and I only have until Friday because my anxiety kept me from doing it sooner. I only found out what exactly I have to do this last Friday but now that I know what I have to do, it isn't anywhere near as big a deal for me.

It's still entirely possible I'll have an anxiety attack when I go to the vehicle registration place, though. If anyone sees a woman in her late 30s touching the bricks of the vehicle registration place in Dallas on Monday, you'll know why.

DA

This actually helps me a lot when I'm feeling the onset of an anxiety attack. Simple, repetitive motions too, like stroking a worry stone or taking something in my left and shaking it around.

I kn ow that sounds kind of weird, but it really helps me focus on something and can help me ground myself.

For the longest time I kept half full water bottles in the car because shaking them helped when I started to have panic attacks on the freeway.

I learned that same technique. I call it tactile grounding but I'm pretty sure that isn't what my therapist at the time called it.
