A visit to the doctor. For real.0

Does it come from nowhere or are you doing something that brings it on? Also, if you are drinking a pre-workout, evaluate if it may be some of the energy from that.0

Breath and excersicing (it actually does help). Sometimes a shoulder to cry on helps to get it all out too. Just some ideas0

I have, they put me on anti-depressants that supposidly "aid with anxiety"... but i'm too groggy on them, they cause weight gain, which then makes me depressed, and it's something that i want to take away immediately nto over time, and the medication i want, they wont prescribe me. Very odd. So i'm looking for natural ways. I've taken too many prescriptions in my last few years, that isn't very good for your body. So i'd rather not take medication.0 -

Yes. Exercise is a great way to reduce stress and anxiety. I prefer using deadlifts when the anxiety hits like that. A variety of positive chemical reactions combined with how you breathe make deadlifts a great anxiety killer. Plus, you have to clear your mind to focus on the lift. Deadlifts are therapy.0 -

I will def. try that out!0 -
Currently dealing with serious anxiety issues after a car accident. Exercise does actually help a lot. Ativan works when the attack gets so bad I feel like I'm dying (visit your doctor). Breathing exercises, etc. Keeping yourself occupied or redirecting your thoughts so you're not focused on the anxiety itself.
Anxiety attacks are brutal. I wish you the best of luck trying to figure out what works for you to deal with them.0 -

I have been on ativans but my doctor refuses to give me a repeat on my prescription. Which i don't understand. says i'm too yound and they are too adictive. So in result i suffer with wrong medication.0 -
They can be habit forming and so caution is needed. Perhaps your doc is concerned about that. How many a day were you taking?kaylacarol1989 wrote: »Currently dealing with serious anxiety issues after a car accident. Exercise does actually help a lot.

Doesn't seem excessive. Have you considered speaking to a therapist to find other ways to deal with the anxiety?kaylacarol1989 wrote: »

Like others have said, exercise is really helpful overall, but in the moment of the anxiety attack you need some way to handle it.

Yes, I get anxiety as well. Working out helps. I also play a relaxing music station like piano type stuff.
I am currently playing Pandora while I work, just search "Relaxation" and there is stuff that is very relaxing
