I suffer from anxiety had a good handle on it for many years , was actually foolish enough to think I was cured :mad: well its not curable instead it just laid dormant within me all these years waiting for the opportune moment to come to the surface again ... I am dealing with coping tools learnt from the past, self care in mind body and soul, eating proper nutrition, working out and giving myself time.. LOA (Law of Attraction ) has helped so much as well

im interested on how you cope , please share ;)

txs so much

Hey Sunshine,
I have been coping with just being positive and knowing i'm doing all I can to live each moment to the fullest at this point. Today was an interesting day. In my constant paranoia, I had to get a CT scan of my brain and abdomen today. In the waiting room I met a woman who I began talking to. She was very sweet and asking if I was there because I have cancer too. I don't have cancer but she then began to tell me that she has stage four breast cancer and its spread throughout her body. She was the most positive person and full of life. All this knowing her days were numbered. She kept telling me she will keep fighting, and that's my goal too. To keep fighting. And I'm fighting symptoms, she is actually fighting something very real. It put my life into perspective. I wish you the best and keep being positive and fighting.

:)

Welcome to the forum sunshine. Sounds like you are doing well in terms of having developed coping skills. The ways I cope with anxiety besides meds and therapy are trying to eat well, yoga, and I try to do things that I enjoy to keep my mind off of the anxiety mainly a lot of artsy type things-pottery, writing/journaling etc. I also try not to be too hard on myself, easier said than done some days.

I cope with my past issues with anxiety by taking my medication and repeating over and over the advice I've been given by therapists whom I've worked with in the past. I also stay busy so I don't think about things which might otherwise make me nervous.
