Last time I had a panic attack, i went to the ER with a 180/70 blood pressure. This is not good advice AND DO NOT say this freely on the internet without any medical experience/knowledge. This comment should be flagged and removed.

[@darioncoker3478]

@@timtech9361 This is what worked for me. It’s facing your fear. The more you fight it it’s just gonna continue to take hold of you. This may not be the best advice for some. I get your point tho.

[@DropTheMag]

⁠​⁠@@timtech9361 This is what ERP is though, exposing yourself to the anxiety, the triggers, the panic, and responding differently, in a better way--such as explained here. It's a tried and true method. It's what's recommended nearly everywhere for this kind of treatment. So let's also not spread potentially misleading and dangerous comments about treatment and how your singular situation could have been dangerous, when there could have been many other factors that led to your blood pressure issue. As panic attacks and severe anxiety can also cause isolated systolic hypertension, and you didn't provide any other potential information. This treatment works, don't discredit and try and get someone else's treatment "flagged and removed", when yours could be as well for fear mongering. They also didn't tell anyone to do what they did, just that it's what worked for them.

*10 Simple Self Improvement Principles For Strong Women* 1. Drink more water 2. Eat whole foods 3. Practice daily gratitude 4. Pick up a book 5. Daily walks outside 6. Listen to a TED Talk 7. Forgive someone 8. Join a group of supportive individuals 9. Stop nailbiting/nailpicking habit for good (if you do it - consider stopping it as it makes you mentally weak + affects your confidence and all other areas of your life!) 10. Congratulate yourself for this growth Take it easy and I hope you found one thing helpful in this list. If you did, what was it?

[@mrgwclipz]

I just listened to a Ted talk, it was awesome, drinking more water, picking up a book.

[@clamant7]

I’m glad I found you on here. Ever since I woke up struggling to breathe one night, that experience left me having an obsessive focus on my breathing and heartbeat. I then began to be obsessive about finding the cure in an attempt to somehow get rid of it thinking that to know about it is a way to cure it. To my dismay, it only fed it to a point where the fixation became worse. After watching this, I’m realizing how much of a difference it is to embrace the anxiety and stop the obsession with finding the cure. One intrusive thought I recently faced was “If I don’t think about my breathing or checking up on my heartbeat or blood pressure, I’d die…” Thank you so much for this! I know I’m on my way to recovery because of it. #embraceit #stopfindingthecure #exposuretherapy

My anxiety isn't that bed mentally anymore, but I feel it physically quite often and because of it I'm experiencing adrenaline fatigue. Has anyone ever been through this, or does anybody have tips to overcome it? God bless you all He loves you all so much!!

[@ananxiousmessoo1789]

Hi! I know it's been months but, I feel more physical song of anxiety than mental. I know everything is going to work out and be fine, but my body doesn't for whatever reason. I like to use breathing to help with it, specifically box breathing or the 4 7 breathing. Box breathing is breathing in for four seconds than holding it for four seconds than letting it out for four seconds and holding it for four seconds. I usually stick the the four seven/ a mixture of the techniques. Four seven breathing is breathing in for four seconds than breathing out for seven. Sorry for the long paragraph. I hope this helps!

Take some magnesium citrate before bed. But don't take too much because it can give you diarrhea. It can help you relax and sleep and it calms down heart palpitations. I like Natural Calm.

[@thesaltjspodcast]

I have an anxiety-related question. I'll have intrusive thoughts that will jump back and forth between things I've believed for years and/or will say horrible things about people I love. I'll often stop and be shaken and have to argue with myself that 'no, I really don't believe this... do I?' That leads to all of the what-if questions and then more self-doubt as to whether or not I agree with these thoughts. Is this common? And if so, is ERP a good way to learn my way out of it? I don't know what to do. I'm scared...

[@el_skrel7051]

This sounds like classic OCD! I experience this too- it’s important to remember that OCD is a “doubt” disorder (amongst other things). ERP should be helpful for sure! At the very least, know that you are not alone

[@rutegerd]

Maybe. Maybe not.

[@freshliving4199]

Take ALL thought captive captive, for they are not your own. Thought leads to feelings/emotions leads to overreacting. Your issue is NOT anxiety, doubt, insecurity, etc. Your issue is anger. Overcome the anger and you will be free.
