Coping skills
Hello everyone,
I'm new. 29 years old. Female. I have anxiety, panic disorder and sometimes depression. All these have peeked it's ugly head back in my life as of 2 months ago. Getting back to see psychiatrist (Xanax and yet to re-start Zoloft) and just started Therapy with a LCSW.
What coping skills have you learned from therapy or other resources? What helps you with your anxiety? How do you deal with a panic attack?
Lately I've been doing the mighty breathing techniques which help a lot of the times. I try to ride the wave, talk myself into relaxing and feeling calm and assuring myself that I'm in a safe place and not going thru a health crisis. I also watch or listen to videos on YouTube for ASMR, or binaural beats. It helps. Sometimes it feels like an eternity. Sometimes anxiety leaves me in 5 minutes, or 20 minutes, or it can take 1 hour.
Thank you in advance for your responses!
