Help!
I'm going through a rough patch right now and due to my anxiety I am nauseaus, twitchy, sore from muscle spasms, keep getting sweats, and my digestive system is on strike i think  Its been to the point where If i stand up i feel like im going to vomit. I know its because of the anxiety because it started with the major trigger of breaking off my engagement. How do you deal with the physical manifestations of anxiety? *sigh* |

Oh how I can relate to your symptoms. I get all that plus shortness of breath and feelings of hyperventilating...followed by headaches. I am going to try to do the relaxation tapes and I also keep myself busy especially now that I am able to get outside. Raking, garden, lawn care.....anything that gets my mind of my insides..... Good luck and hopefully you will find ways to cope with your anxiety... Snow __________________ SNOWFLAKE |

Hello Rainbowzz! Good to see you.  Coping strats for anxiety- Distractions to take your mind off it like computer games, reading a book, listening to music. Step outside for a bit and focus on everything around you, the trees, flowers, clouds etc Buy a relaxation CD/tape and make yourself practice it everyday. Slow the breathing down, cup your hands over your face and breathe steadily for at least ten minutes. Self talk- I am safe now, nothing dreadful is going to happen, I can get through this........ Hope these tips might help.

The new Dannon produces, especially Activia, have helped my stomach/intestines a lot :-) I was already eating yogurt for its soothing when I woke in the middle of the night so having a smaller portion with good enzymes for intestines helped stablize and make me feel better overall.

I'm sorry you are feeling so bad right now ... I wish that there were some way we could help to ease all of this for you. I don't really have any more input than what has already been said, but i just wanted to send good thoughts your way and hope that you feel better soon

I find that crossword or logic puzzles do a wonderful job for anxiety. They require so much focus that I can't really think about anything else. I always do two or three before I go to bed, just to make sure my mind is totally empty.
