hey guys!
since my anxiety has reached a whole new low these past few weeks, i decided i needed to make a few changes. things that may help me deal with my anxiety better.
i hope you guy's can add your anti-anxiety tips too, any advice would be great...
the first thing, which was completely out the blue for me was taking up swimming (i haven't swam so much since i was in secondary school) i find that when you swim, it takes your mind away from your anxiety's, if only for a short while. it tires you out too... so when dreaded bed-time comes along when my brain does its most "hypochondriac'ic thinking" my body is usually too tired and just wants too sleep (although my mother say's i'm doing too much, but i feel like i need to keep busy!)
i have also started to eat more healthy (but subconsciously i think this has more to-do with my health-anxiety?) lot's more fruit and veg, and i'v just started drinking herbal tea and cut out coffee completely (if its going to help i dont care how much i love it, its gone)
and as of today i have started taking vitamin-b-complex and fish oil suppliments, as i have read some good things about them and how they are good for the brain and nervous system...
basicaly im an all-round working progress, and as you can tell i'm desprate for a anxiety/panic-attack cure!... i know mad ey? :ohmy:
please post your remedies/advice/tips/tricks... all will be greatly appreciated...
many thanks
