...See more Hey guys want to start a thread on how you quickly fix an oncoming panic attack or a bout of anxiety especially in public? I do diaphragmatic breathing which helps me most times. And I don't look weird while doing it (maybe sound funny but who cares). That's the easiest way I find to activate my parasympathetic response. Would love to hear others methods and share stories!
Panic attack when I was driving! Help!

...See more I recently got into a fender bender and although I wasn't driving, I have been really apprehensive about getting back on the wheel. I already have been very anxious lately with school starting and with an impending graduation in 3 months. I have been suffering severe anxiety and insomnia and haven't been in the best shape. I started driving yesterday and had a mid-drive panic attack that I had to stop the vehicle in the shoulder. I felt so uncomfortable and my heart was racing. Thankfully I had someone else in passenger seat who could drive me back safely. I recently read up on magnesium supplements and they have been helping me with my sleep. They work like a charm! Insomnia aside, these panic attacks and underlying anxiety are debilitating. Is there anyone who has had this before and what are they doing to alleviate panic attacks while driving? Would appreciate any leads!!!

...See more Hi everyone. Wondering if anyone wakes up in the morning due to a jolt or surge of adrenaline? It's this uncomfortable sense of dread and anxiety that wakes me up early in the morning which is great as an alarm but I would like to wake up in a relaxed manner!! Let me know if anyone has morning anxiety and how do you cope with it? I try and get meditation and yoga done in the first part of the day because of this!
