By the grace of God, it finally hit me yesterday during another attack that I was actually having panic attacks and not going crazy.
Does anyone have any advice on how to manage their anxiety? I will do some research, but I want to know what's actually helped you all. I'm thinking it could help me too.
Also, what helps you during an attack?
Lastly, how do you cope when your environment is the source of your attack, but you can't leave it? My situation at home has been triggering my latest attacks, but I haven't been able to move yet. Thanks everyone!

I have an anxiety myself. Sometimes doing meditation for anxiety can help. Sometime breathing slowly can help.
