How To Control Anxiety, An Expert's Guide

When I was33 I had a doctors appt. for simple sinus infection. The doctor loaded me up with samples of allergy meds, a prescription for antibiotic and nasal sprays. I went home and took what I was told, about 1 hour later I felt hot, dizzy and confused like I was going to pass out. My visit to the ER said I was over medicated and it would go away in a couple of hours. I should feel normal. Well thats not what happened I felt that way for 2 weeks and on and off since that day.

This went on for a few months, I was devaststed because the anxiety meds I tried made it worse, my luck I thought. My husband left me, my house went into foreclosure, I was on the verge of being homeless with 5 kids, (cause adding more stress was exactly what I needed) I had a job before all this panic set in due to my disorder I could not drive, or be alone in the house. Finally I found some help I ordered a program off the net and applied some of the techniques and took back my life. If you suffer from severe or mild anxiety there is help. First thing you need to do is recognize your feelings as anxiety or panic this will stop the brain from looking for other reasons which heighten the fight or flight response. Then you should take 5 deep breaths in through yournose for 2 seconds and out through your mouth for 4 seconds. Don't worry if you feel alittle light headed it will calm you down, lay down and do it if you feel more comfortable. While you are breathing do some self talk tell yourself you are ok , you will feel fine in a few minutes ask yourself how it would be if you were not afraid of these spells. Your brain will be distracted looking for answers to your questions and will allow you to get back to normal. I hope this is beneficial to someone.
