Being dropped off early so that I will be spending Christmas with my biological family after all. Great advice in my previous thread re: how to detach from the expectations of a movie-esque family Christmas.
Feel as though I am about to die from my anxiety. Have taken my meds to no avail. Anyone able to remind me of some techniques to calm myself? Gonna start with 1) this feeling/circumstance won't last forever, 2)deep breathing. Please list others. |

Meditation can help/ kind kind of like deep breathing. Music can help. Maybe a bath.

Can you get outside for a walk. Getting away from people even for 5 min can help. I do mini meditations- set your timer for 3 min and focus on an uplifting verse or saying.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
