Generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder

[zenith dew]

What you’re experiencing is not weakness, it’s your nervous system in overdrive

a few techniques you can use during panic attacks to bring yourself down

Box Breathing (Navy SEAL method) like Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4

Repeat and It resets your nervous system

5-4-3-2-1 Grounding so its like name 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, 1 thing you taste

now this pulls you out of the spiral

shake out your body cuz anxiety is physical energy, it needs release

also keep a panic journal to write down what triggered it, what you felt and what helped cuz over time, you’ll see patterns

I haven’t met anyone on this server yet with it

[zenith dew]

I can’t say I have panic disorder but I’ve had panic attacks a few times like 3 times and I fought through them and found a way to survive tbh
