Switching to decaf has also had a huge impact.
Major no-no: going to a stressful situation all jacked up on caffeine. |

I read having a mantra helps...well for me, this is working wonders at the moment:
"You're not expected to fix EVERYTHING, you just have to do the best with what life gives you." |

This is going to sound really weird, but I found out by accident that playing solitaire helped stop or lessen my panic attack. I focus hard on laying the cards out just right & on counting them out. Counting for some reason helps. I carry a pack of cards with me now.

With regards to counting, I noticed that simply counting out loud or mouthing the numbers under my breath helps a little too. Or doing simple but fast math. I downloaded a math game that has simple addition and subtraction. This helps preoccupy me as well. |

1. Counting backwards from 100 by 7's helps. You have to really concentrate.
2. Get a cloth or paper towel and wet it in cold water. Press it into your hand or put it on your wrist or neck and concentrate on the coolness. 3. Swirl ice cubes around in a glass and watch them go in circles. Don't lose sight of them. 4. Concentrate on remembering a happy time. Relive it moment by moment. Soon you'll be so wrapped up remembering, you won't think of the panic. I hope these tips help you. They work for me.

I've been feeling stress for no obvious reason for the past couple of weeks. My muscles have felt jittery, shaky, and weak. Almost everything I eat has been causing intestinal problems.
Today I decided to try deep breathing. I made-up my own technique, but it seems to be "resistance breathing" ( 3 Deep Breathing Exercises to Reduce Anxiety | World of Psychology ) Surprisingly, the breathing took away that awful feeling of stress, dread, depression, and shakiness that has been almost non-stop for the last two weeks. I've heard people talk about breathing exercises, but I was always skeptical. I'm convinced now. ![]() |
