@tisme I want to ask a stupid question. Do you know what thoughts you are having that is causing the anxiety?
I have anxiety, thru decades of therapy, I learned to be anxious from listening to my mom fear the future. Either it was finances, health, old age, jobs, etc.
Unlike my mom that is on anxiety meds, I tried a different therapist that prescribed a device called an Alpha Stim. I had to buy this device, which disrupts electrical pulses in my brain when I am constantly thinking, where I am not able to calm my brain, close my eyes. Its perfectly safe and FDA approved.
The way my therapist explained, when we are depressed, we are thinking of the past, and when we have anxiety, we are thinking of the future. Being present is hard but doable. Going for a walk is a great way to be present. Simply being self aware of when you are anxious, also helps.
