Hi, @gseaborn - as people in this discussion were talking about a very similar topic about seeking tips for dealing with anxiety, I've moved your post here:

- Anyone have high anxiety? What do you do to help? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/any-one-have-high-anxiety/

Hoping members in this discussion such as @westwoman3698 @bobrogers @hraka13 @johneckenrode11 @randallshields56 and others will have some input for you, gseaborn, in dealing with getting sweaty, experiencing trembling and having out of control thoughts and more from anxiety.

gseaborn - have you found any techniques that calm you at all when you feel like this? What do you typically do when these types of symptoms come over you?

@gseaborn Reiki energy work has helped me with panic disorder. The practitioner or preferably a Reiki master will place their hands on areas of the body that harbor anxiety and lift the discomfort. I would read about it on line or check out library books to understand why this helps. There are numerous Reiki Masters around the world. Another powerful modality is SHEN emotional release therapy. It usually takes more than one session. Each session is about and hr long on a massage table. $50 to $100 a session.

Hi Luv,
Sounds like stress to me, as with any disease we tend to think to much because it is totally out of our control now and if you are like me, a former control freak it is doubly hard to adjust...but you can it is all in your mind set, like when you wake you already have an idea of what a day your going to have by the pain or stress of the day before and then those wonderful dreams, am I rite? I am on Zoloft low dose and take 2.5mg of Diazepam {Valium} when needed...it helps to discuss with your Doctor...These are only aides The mind is your battlefield, Take it slow and perhaps some mello music to calm the constant tides amen~
God Bless and comfort you on your journey! xo
