When I first got sick, I used to have panic attacks. Breathing exercises is what ended those for me.

So, I believe in them, generally at least.

I have also had success with meditation and Hatha Yoga relaxation exercises.

I was a violent crime victim. In 1982, I was kidnapped and held for a time. I have PTSD from that.

I have also done counseling. That has helped a lot.

If you have some history of trauma or abuse, I would recommend being assessed for PTSD.

That is a specific kind of problem and needs a specific kind of aid to resolve.

Very sorry for all those who suffer with anxiety.

Wishing everyone well on your healing journey.

Take care now.
