Thank you for your understanding. When anxiety overwhelms I deep breath, try to focus on positive things, walk, and meditate. All help but human support helps most. Have made a new friend which helps greatly.

So true @cdk43! There is nothing like having a friend to share our joy, our worries, and our life with. Mayo Connect is a wonderful place to share our experiences with others, and it's a blessing for many, but it is true that it is virtual support. I'm glad you have someone you can actually talk to and be friends together with. I like that you said you try to focus on positive things...that's one way to stop the negative effects of anxiety. Walking is an excellent way to help both physically and mentally. Fresh air and being outdoors is like therapy. How are you feeling now?
