If you are feeling anxious or wondering how to cope, there is a group of people that get together on Wednesday nights in an informal chat. Feel free to drop in at the Anxiety Chat in the Chat Room starting at 8PM EST and going till 9PM on Wednesday but some people linger longer talking about their week or what is happening in their life. Hope to see you there.

Excerpt by Helen Nieves
"Suffering from panic attacks or anxiety attacks are never fun and can be scary if you do not know what they are. This can be an uncomfortable feeling and knowing that it can happen to you again without any warning, can leave you to feel hopeless and helpless. For some, it can be an occasional panic attack where you experience it only in particular situations, while for others it can be frequent and recurring that it prevents you from leaving your home. In my previous blog, I discussed ways to support a person suffering from panic or anxiety attacks, the symptoms of panic and anxiety attacks and also on what panic and anxiety attacks are. In this blog, I want to share with you coping techniques to manage panic or anxiety attacks.

Some of the techniques mentioned below may not work for you, while others will. Try them all and keep using the ones that helps you the most."

I agree, yoga and meditation do seem to help -- if you do it on a regular basis. Especially meditation.
