Hey guys,
So I'm really new to all this and this is my first post (please be kind to me)
The thought of doing anything at the moment kicks me into a total tizzy, right now I'm sitting here stressing about what time I need to set off to pick up my son even though he has an after school club today so I should be happy with my extra hour of peace.
I've always been a nervous person but only been this bad a hand full of times it all started when I found a lump and now its got to the point I can be sitting doing nothing and get so anxious I feel sick.
Just wondering if anyone has any tips to calm me down without taking anything for it. I was given a couple of tips at CBT but its really not working with me at the moment.
Sorry for rambling :weep:

Stay away from coffee if you're prone to anxiety ;)

Have you tried mindfulness meditation? It's really good for calming the mind. If you google it there's loads of them on youtube etc. You need peace and quiet to do it though and you can get a 'full body scan' that last about 15/20 minutes. I find it really helpful and it's proven to help with anxiety.

I suffer quite badly with anxiety so feel your pain.

Ah yes you don't want palpitations from going cold turkey!
I know that awful feeling - my anxiety is always there lately. Nothing going on, just anxiety. I lost my crown (tooth lol) on Thursday so had to go to the dentist - actually felt nice having something to stress about ha.
