Welcome. have you tried clenching your fist really tight and holding for 5 seconds then releasing quickly? Then your shoulders for 5 seconds and quick release.
It works for me sometimes when I'm in the grocery store and I start feeling anxiety/panic coming on.
I have been trying distraction and breathing as much as my job will allow - but am looking forward to being able to go home. I think I really just needed some contact to remind me I am not alone in what I am going through and a little re-assurance it will get better. It can be hard to remember those things when your body and mind are so stressed :(
I am not sure of the standard format for these forums but am new to the panic centre. I am working my way through all of the steps but am having a particularly rough day today - have been in a state of anxiety for the last 7 hours - not acute but teetering on the edge of an attack and no matter what I try I can't shake it.
Can someone give me any suggestions or lend an ear to talk for a few minutes?
