Hello all.
I have been suffering with anxiety symptoms for weeks now. I have a small piece of advice I want to share that may help others who feel like me.
Water is key. I find that sipping on water (or any drink for that matter) takes my concentration away from fear/panicking. When I do have a bad spell my mouth always goes very dry so having a drink close by definitely helps. I carry a drink around with me almost everywhere I go. Work,driving,shopping etc.
One time in Asda i had a bad panic attack. I just grabbed a drink from the nearest shelf and straight away I felt better. I did pay for it before leaving.
I have read plenty of articles on line that state staying hydrated really does help.
Sometimes I feel reassured just knowing I have a drink on hand. I know there are situations where this will not be practical but try your best.
I wanted to share and If this helps at least one person then that is great.
