I have anxiety today?

Question

Any nice words or advice would really help. I’ve been on the verge of a breakdown three times today. Not for any particular reason, it’s just my demons are a bit heightened today.

Focus on your breathing, make sure it's deep enough, & make sure your exhales are longer than your inhales.

A breathing technique that has helped me through my panic attacks is to quickly breathe in (but not all the way) for 2-3 seconds, hold for 2, now breathe in (all of the way) for one second, & instantly exhale for 5-7 seconds.

^ I used to do these when I would get severe panic attacks from sound & they helped me a lot! Once I calm the sympathetic nervous system down, I find that I'm able to have a better handle on my emotions.

Here are some words of comfort and advice for coping with anxiety:

You are not alone. Anxiety is a common struggle, but that does not make your experience any less real or valid. Your feelings matter.

You can get through this. Anxiety comes in waves, and this too shall pass. Focus on putting one foot in front of the other. Try not to worry about the future - just get through this moment. You are strong.

Practice self-care. Take a warm bath or shower. Listen to calming music. Read a book. Engage in an activity that relaxes you. Nourish your mind, body and soul. You deserve comfort and care.

Reach out for support. Talk to a trusted friend or family member. Even just saying your feelings out loud can help process them. Consider seeking professional help if anxiety becomes severe or chronic. You do not have to struggle alone.

Breathe deeply. Focus on taking long, slow breaths to help calm your nervous system. Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Repeat. Breathing exercises can help lower stress hormones in your body.

Challenge negative thoughts. Anxiety often stems from irrational worries and "what if" thoughts. Gently remind yourself that anxiety is lying to you - you can and will get through this. Logic and reason can combat anxious feelings.

Be kind to yourself. You do not deserve to suffer. Remember that you are human, and humans experience emotions. Do not judge yourself harshly. Offer yourself compassion instead. You are worthy of love.

My friend, you are capable. You are loved. You are not alone. These feelings will pass. For now, focus on putting one foot in front of the other. One breath at a time. You've got this.

Sorry about the anxiety. Sending you good thoughts and a ear to listen if you want.  People care -- even when I doesn't feel like it.

Where your demons at, so i scare them away! 😄 Use your magical rapunzel hair, wrap them and throw them all away on the himalaya's mountain so they never come back 😁

It is normal for these situations to occur from time to time. You just have to keep track of your goals, find a way to unload your emotions (as healthy as possible, not self-destructive behaviors). Analyze yourself, and move on.
