What can i do to help with anxiety?

Question

I have gone through some pretty violent situations in the past few years. Even though things are stablizing, I am still very jumpy. Any sudden or loud noises or movements make me jump out of my skin. I dont mean to be afraid. Its almost a natural reaction. What can I do to stop it?

Answer 1

Breathing exercises.
Try Yoga, that would help you relax.
Keeping calm is key.

Also, get a regular "routine" to practice daily that makes you feel safe, secure. Again, your mind needs to relax, so you have to do things to sooth your thoughts to keep your body from being tense.

Answer 2

Try and relax with some breathing exercises, or even self hypnosis. Self hypnosis takes you to a place where you are not afraid and anxious such as the beach. It is very relaxing. Try and treat yourself to a bubble bath and some soothing music. Exercising and eating healthy foods also calms your nerves. Try not to drink high energy/caffenated drinks or high in sugar foods. If you continue to feel anxious maybe as a last resort consider some medication. Good luck and try and relax. You are not alone in your struggles!
