What are alternative ways besides medication to deal with the physical symptoms of anxiety?

Breathing exercises help to trick your body into going into a calmer state. Try slowly counting your breaths. You could even use an online breathing meditation exercise to guide you through this. You can also get rid of your body's anxious energy by getting some light exercise - it doesn't have to be anything extreme, just a walk around the house is helpful. Distraction is also good, as it helps to banish the feelings of anxiety as well as taking your mind off the physical symptoms. Try to put the radio on, call a friend, or pick up a book.

To take nice deep breaths and make sure your breathing is always steady. get plenty of sleep and always try your best. It is important to take time out and have a break otherwise your anxiety could build up. Also accept that anxiety is a part of life, you should embrace it by accepting the fact you have anxiety and that way you will feel more in control with yourself. Always remember the anxiety does not control you and you have the power. before accepting the thoughts that give you the most anxiety, question your thoughts. You could be wrong.

Medication can be a useful way to treat the physical symptoms of anxiety and particularly when used as an aid to therapy. Although many people don't want to go this route which is perfectly ok. There are many alternative ways to manage anxiety such as mindfulness which can produce some really good results I like an app called headspace and calm which I find really helpful also meditation and yoga also can really help. Also breathing exercises and I think some times a lifestyle change can help so eating more healthy and exercise ( as it releases Endorphins) which act as happy hormones also sleep can help massively to reduce anxiety. I really hope you find something that works and we are always here if you need us.

Sometimes what works for me is having pressure. Like for example, if I'm shaking and I can't stop shaking, if I'm with someone, I can ask them to give me really tight hug. Somehow getting hugged like that gives your mind a signal saying that you're safe and that you don't need to panic. Another thing that helps me is instead of breathing deeply, sometimes holding me breath for a little bit can really help me to start breathing normally again... Well another thing that can help is talk to people, go for a walk, do meditation and stuff like that

Oh goodness, there's a lot. Sounds cliché, but physical exercise can be a HUGE way to get some of that anxiety out of your body. I know that it's very oversaid and stressful seeming, but not only does it get that extra energy out of your body, but you sleep better and you have less stress. Having a physical outlet can make a WORLD of difference. (I bought a punching bag, personally.) - you can also use other forms of physical movement like Yoga, Martial Arts, focus, hiking, ect. Getting moving and keeping busy is one of the best ways to cut an anxiety spike off at the head. I'm not saying it works every day, but most days.. it does.

Each person has their own way of dealing with anxiety. Personally I find the following helpful: Exercising, therapy, finding ways to distract myself (be through reading, tv shows, movies, going out etc), relying on family and friends, talking about what bothers me, writing or any way I can find of releasing and expressing oneself, taking apart problems that might be causing me anxiety and dealing with small parts of it slowly, respecting my own time and my limitations, and mostly being there for others as a way of getting out of my own mind and earning new perspective on things.

You can take a walk,or clean up your room. Also doing things for yourself like taking a hot bath or listening to some music helps a lot💕 Also, talking to people you love,reading a book, or dancing helps reduce a lot of stress. Personally, i like walking in nature because looking at the trees or at the ocean helps me very much. There are so many ways to help reduce stress and they are everyday activities like cooking a quick meal, organizing your stuff or cleaning up your closet. Going to the gym or simply exercising at home helps a lot.

There are many different options, if you Google ideas you'll find a lot on there and even on YouTube. Try out different techniques and see what works best for you. What you want to do is slow yourself down and check out how you are in the sitiation you are in. Breathing exercises can be good for this. So can mediation and/ or mindfulness. Grounding techniques can be very helpful - you'll find more online. ASMR can offer a lot of relief from anxiety. Perhaps mantras or positive affirmations. Try different things and see what works for you. It is something you can get control over and although you may still feel anxious it will be more manageable. Good luck!

Talk about your feelings with someone you trust, sleep well, eat healthily and exercise daily. Balance this well and it should combat anxiety better than most modern medicines. Eating healthy is self-explanatory. Have good amounts of vegetables, grains, pasta, rice, fish and meat in your diet. Eating healthily gives you more energy to go through the day happily! Exercise is also important. Exercising releases endorphins in your brain which make for an overall happier mood. One should exercise for an hour extensively every second day or 30 minutes extensively every single day. Sleep is also very important. It allows your brain to get the necessary rest it needs to work well throughout the day. A lack of sleep can result in dizziness, nausea and anxious thoughts. And lastly, talking to someone. Keeping feelings pent up inside is bad for you. Discuss how you feel with those you trust. Make sure to care for yourself all the time! All the best, Cordelia x

There number of ways, scientific and not scientific. The scientific ways such as CBT, Hypothesis, Mindfulness and so on. The none scientific ways such as NLP, Rieki, religious spiritual treatments etc. As psychology is a new field of science it still immature if it is right to say. That keeps the question about the unscientific ways of treating psychological illnesses without a real answer as it has been seen that many people get psychologically and physically better after being exposed to unscientific ways of treatments. Massaging could help people with some physical issues. Also, a special diet could help a lot.
