Hello and WELCOME! Glad you found us ! You'll find some great people here. It's kind of slow sometimes, so be patient.

I'm pretty familiar with anxiety and I too have trouble coping with SOME things --- I'm great in a crisis, but it's the day to day stuff that trips me up. lol Then I go to pieces

Take care, and hope to hear more from you. Hugs, Lee

Hi hopefully! It's good to see you here! I have a lot of anxiety issues too. Have you tried things like regular exercise or any kind of relaxation techniques?

In addition to therapy and medication, I do find it helpful to exercise every day. And I also practice daily meditation (even if it's just for a few minutes). It's also really important for me to try and keep busy. Having too much time to think (= worry!!!) is not good for my anxiety!!

What do you find helps you the most to manage your anxiety?

Agree with Sundog. Learning to meditate and relax is important. Just find what works best for you.
