If you read my post I asked about do you have an exercise you like a hobby? Every doctor I see agress with me on my commitment to exercise and hobbies to lower stress and anxiety. I do this religously

All individuals are different. Some need more help than others to deal with stress and anxiety. In my opinion it depends on the severvity of the anxiety panic levels. Some like me when I developed PTSD and anxiety/panic disorder was devastating on my quality of life. When you have PTSD you basically are scared and than of course causes anxiety/panic.

For those of us that have had a panic attack you will see sometimes you need help. But that help should come from medical profesinals and physciatric professionals. I am luck to have to be at Mayo where all my doctors and physicatric medication specailist work as a team.

With consuling, medications, and self initiative I was able to overcome my PTSD anxiety panic disorder and come off 2 medications. I am a avid believer in having an exercise and or hobby to help you with daily stress and anxiety. But sometimes getting to that point you need help and thus should always reach out. Mental health is just as important as physical health.

I walk up and down hills to downtown. Go see a couple of friends that work in town. They have problems, and supporting them takes my mind of myself. I have a 5 yr old dog and 7 month old pup. They keep me busy and my mind off myself. I help others as God puts them in my path. I play the flute in church. I read the Bible daily, now in Spanish, and pray, and ask for prayer from friends if I am overwhelmed. I have had much stress and long term difficult situations in my life, sometimes from my bad decisions, but God and the above ways to cope, helps me through them all. Have been on the brink of nutsville, but never take meds for any.
