What do you do when you're jittery?

[mermaidrocketship]

I have anxiety and right now am extremely jittery and tense at the same time. I've tried walking around, watching tv, working on some homework. But nothing has been able to ease it for about three days. I have NO IDEA why this is happening. I'm on medication, but that's not seeming to help right now.

I hate tell you what to take but your doctor could give you a low dose
of Klonopin, Beta Blocker medication, Catapres. You may need
something just to take the edge off of you. In mean while try
deep breathing exercises hold your breath count to 6 than let it
out count to 6 than repeat , See you have bad anxiety like i do and
I'm on Beta Blockers to calm me down along with other stuff.

I'm not a huge fan of meds as they don't teach you to control the anxiety yourself

[CyberToothTiger]

@Tomsta Yes you are true i do agree with you on that one.

I knit. Yeah. Sounds weird, doesn't it? But it does calm you down. Trust me on this.

[mermaidrocketship]

The funny thing is I've tried crocheting, but it makes me angry. Haha. I try to draw and stuff. It usually helps, but not right now.

[Streamhopper]

Try knitting. It's not as hard as crochet. It's much more therapeutic. I love it. And people love what I make.

[mermaidrocketship]

I might have to try that.

I'm no drug pusher but I find Xanax very helpful. Don't ask for it specifically though. They might think you have drug seeking behavior.

I draw, listen to music and relax, work on my car...

[Tomsta]

I know your pain as i also suffer from anxiety normally i just wack on spa music and let the emotions and anxiety wash over but manage it with deep breathing and self reassurance

If you don't want to go to the Doctor , then you can suffer in silence.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but, oddly enough, that only makes me more jittery.
