anxiety treatment techniques

Some of us have mental issues that require medication. I practice many techniques to reduce anxiety, but know medication is a base I must work from. When my son was murdered by his father four months ago, I was recovering from anal cancer, I had brief grief-induced negative thoughts, which I've resolved with the help of a therapist I can see at no charge at the cancer hospital. I am glad to hear you have an answer to your anxiety.

What are some coping techniques I can employ? I sometimes want to die because of this stuff and already have a serious mental illness I'm having to deal with alongside the PTSD and I'm supposed to be receiving therapy for this but I don't know when I will and need to know some things I can do to cope better until then.

Hi I'm just wondering what the best breathing/relaxation techniques are for calming oneself down when anxiety reaches high level. I'm fed up up have anxiety attacks and taking it out on my poor fiance by yelling at him. I want to control my feelings and not allow them to get me so worked up so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

If you have one of those you might look into one who does CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, or incorporates that into their treatment. Also hypnosis can help, as well as relaxation techniques such as meditation, exercise, breathing exercises as you'd do in yoga but more focused. But at some point to treat OCD you have to get to the point where you start not performing your rituals over and over until your brain grasps that not doing them won't kill you.

How disrupted is your life, and have you ever been in therapy with an expert in anxiety treatment? Have you ever trained in relaxation techniques, such as muscle relaxation, meditation, hypnosis, breathing techniques? It helps to know where you are and where you've been to know from our experiences where you might want to go.

If you want a more active anti-anxiety therapy, you can try cognitive therapy, which will offer specific anxiety treatment and exposure therapy. No technique is proven to be better than any other, but cognitive therapy is believed either rightly or wrongly to be the quickest treatment for anxiety. And also remember, all therapy will take some time, and each patient will need a different amount of time than another patient.

In my case, I still remember and practice techniques I was given 20 or more years ago. That is how powerful therapy is in the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Does anybody have any relaxation techniques. I suffer from benign pvc's and anxiety to accompany it. Just some days i would like to learn how to relax and get through my pvc episodes.

Believe it or not listening to my husband's heart beat calms my anxiety

Are you doing any relaxation techniques such as exercise, yoga, meditation, etc.? (A psychologist who specializes in anxiety treatment can teach you these, or you can learn them on your own).

Which is why it is important to try to employ these techniques BEFORE we get to that point. If you can feel the anxiety building...that is the time to try to work on coping technqiues. If you get into a PA situation...there ARE things you can do, but it is important to not get frustrated if you find that that the exercises that may work for you on other occasions are not helping at all...sometimes they even heigten the anxiety. THAT IS NORMAL.

You have a chronic anxiety problem. This is what anxiety is like -- if you avoid doing things you stop doing things and if you do things you get nervous about it. I'd suggest getting into therapy with a psychologist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety (most don't) and learn some relaxation techniques in the meantime until you figure out if you can learn to think differently, such as exercise and meditation.

I have anxiety all the time and I don't really know how to manage it. It's almost like I'm being slightly paranoid I've never had this problem to this extreme before. Is anyone else feeling this or recommend ways to help alleviate?

Hi guys, So I wanted to post here about some problems I've had to get some advise, particularly from UK or Irish users. I started university last September and have been suffering with bad anxiety since then. As a result I've struggled to make friends and have felt totally isolated there. The only time I really talk to anyone is when I'm home for the weekends where I have family and friends. I went to counselling in December for about four weeks with no benefit.

I have a son who will be 2 in April I'm 8 months pregnant my husband works full time and my anxiety is getting worse like to the point where I can't control it and having anxiety and not being able to control something leads to me feeling depressed....I refuse to take medication so taking a bath or a walk it's my only way to relieve myself....am I alone on this?

I have never gone on any medications and I have learned to live with the anxiety and to manage it through coping techniques. I have never had any issues with sleeping until recently and I am not sure if this is realted to anxiety or simething else. Lately, when I am in bed and about to fall asleep, I will feel my entire body tensing up and shaking. I get light-headed and feel as if I am going to pass out.

But since any method you try will recommend you get into therapy with a psychologist who specializes in anxiety treatment and to learn relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises and meditation you can look into these as well. Using natural medicine isn't what you're going to see on the internet usually, which will recommend one product and say, use this and you'll be fine.

This is what it feels like when regular anxiety attacks start. As for the Zoloft, it's a good choice for anxiety but it might have been better to gradually work up the dose. At any rate, make sure your therapist specializes in anxiety -- most don't really. And just because one medication doesn't work for you doesn't mean none will.

I can give you tips/techniques regarding the panic and or anxiety. Regarding the physical symptoms you are feeling, it is time to see a doctor. I am not saying those are for sure dangerous symptoms, but they can be. Feel free to message me if interested in the tips/techniques.

Have you tried a therapist who specializes in anxiety? Have you looked into any relaxation techniques such as meditation, exercise, yoga, etc.? A good psychologist who specializes in anxiety treatment can help you with this and can also tell you if you're a candidate for medication.

ll feel anxious all day. A few years ago I was treated for a mild social anxiety but stopped treatment when I learned to deal with the symptoms. I've seemed to have this random anxiety my whole life though. It's almost like the feeling where there is something wrong but there isn't anything wrong. Does anyone else ever suffer from this? Is it anything to really worry about?

Great advice, my only amendment is, and I've said this before as well, do you have a psychologist who specializes in anxiety treatment? I don't think a regular doc is going to help you much with anxiety, they can only prescribe medication for it and psychiatrists are a better choice for that than regular docs. But again, are you seeing anyone who can help you learn some relaxation techniques?

The only cure now known is therapy with someone who specializes in the treatment of anxiety, such as CBT. Medication can help the symptoms, but can't cure the problem but if nothing else cures it medication is sometimes the best we can do. There are also natural ways to attempt to treat it, with plant remedies and amino acids and relaxation techniques.
