Turn the 24/7 news off.

Very good advice.

Peace be with you.

Never really. I ran what should have been a very stressful career but just did it. My wife was always amazed that I came home every day without a mention of work.

Same here. Anxiety makes everything seem worse than it is. For me I want to anticipate the worst possible outcome for everything. Have to remind myself how absurd that is. Have since I was a child. Seems to run in the family. Mom would get calls from Gramma about some horrible premonition she had and Gramma just had to check..

Work stress was never a problem, I seem to thrive on it. I enjoy wrestling with and overcoming a challenge. It's all the problems that exist only in my mind that make bad stress. The way my head works uncertainty is difficult to deal with. And that's where I want to dwell on bad outcomes no matter how unlikely.

Good advice is easier to give than to live, but taking a day at a time as Jesus taught is good.

Do you know how incredibly difficult that can be? That and giving your worries to Jesus and accepting whatever comes as in your best interest even though you can't see it. Good advice though.

I used to have a lot of anxiety on sundays in anticipation of the upcoming work week. Going into the office and going thru emails, making a to do list and knocking a few things out to get ahead helped immensely. If I could do that early Sunday morning all the better because I felt much better the rest of the day

Brought on by your Quilt avatar by any chance????

Seems many other members might be suffering the same thing over the last 2 days.


Ricbin made this place even more bonkers than it already was with these quilt avatars.

LOL!!!!

I had a doctor take me off Lunesta and put me on clonzepam, BAD Deal, I took that crap for about 8 years and then anxiety hit, I had to get off that med, it took 3 years with lots of anxiety. now I am back to normal, my body had to do a reset.

after all that I still get a little nervous, so I started HempWorks CBD oil and I now have NO anxiety. $97.00 a bottle, it lasts me 6 weeks per bottle. YMMV

8 drops under your tongue, hold it there at least 60 seconds, then no food or water for 30 min, do that morning and night.

So much wisdom in this simple post. Exercise and exercise vigorously. It is mind clearing. You don't have to be in shape to get the benefit. Just challenge your body. Find positive people who make you happy and make you laugh. Hang out with them. If life doesn't give you the opportunity to hang out with many people, then find laughter and positivity somewhere. The world is so full of schidt-slinging and "the sky is falling" crap, it can pollute your mind. Identify your stressors. Change things where you can. Work on accepting the things you can't change. The more of this you do, the easier sleep becomes.

Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I Am God.

Can't even begin to say the effect anxiety attacks have had on me, I find exercise is about the best cure for me. Also keep some xanax with me , never take it, just know its there

I would offer that people focus on fueling their spiritual being. Some people don't believe in God or prayer. I know people like that. Almost everyone of those people have a spiritual component to their being though. We all need to tap into and nourish that. Nature is my church and it is there that I feel closest to my Creator.

I don't go to church often enough but sometimes I find this very fitting:

And if all that doesn't work just be the only one who knows you've got it.

what???

No pass-thru??

Hahaha

Be ready to suck a pistol after that
