Can you recommend anything to stop anxiety due to daily stress and general problems? Is there a way to stop worrying to much about everything and not being able to relax?
Any ideas, recommendations or advices would be great. Thanks!

I have GAD, and while I see a therapist and am on meds, there are many other things not QUITE that severe I suggest.
Read a funny book, watch a fun movie, take deep breaths and a 1 minute workout during the day, write down your worry and shred it, color, go for a walk, take time for a warm bath or shower, drink more water, enjoy a sunrise/sunset, take time our for YOU.

Hi Sarah - Have you tried cognitive behavioural therapy aka CBT ? CBT addresses both the thinking behind the anxiety and the thinking and behaviour that maintains it, by respectively awareness and analysis and then by changing your thoughts and responses in a structured way. There are CBT group sessions designed specifically for anxiety, or it can be done on a one to one basis, though in my opinion group is better. The group course lasts about 12 sessions of 2 hours each, so can be fitted into your schedule. There is also Mindfulness; I have found this very helpful as it helps take a step back, observe, and so regain control, and can be done very quickly and at any moment. This is because once you have the technique, it only takes a few seconds for the effects to be felt, so it shouldn't interfere with your classes. You can easily learn these simple techniques from a book. My thinking is that anxiety stems from a lack of confidence, if you believe that you are a good and valuable person, many of the causes of anxiety disappear. Meanwhile, give these a try, and don't give up. It is really worth getting a handle on it as when anxiety is out of proportion it can affect you at every level, and it can thouroughly compromise your well being, but there are ways to control it, honest !

You may not be able to totally stop the anxiety but you can get it more under control. Is there anything you can think of that if you could change it that would be less stressful? Work, friends atmosphere? Walking is wonderful and will cause your brain to produce a chemical that makes you feel better. I also have enjoyed attending a church and being involved. Volunteering at a school or a library, are something that your interested in is also good because their are so many blessings that come from it. You want to control your anxiety not have it control you. If you feel that you need to share this with your doctor feel free to. We are living in such a fast moving world and sometimes we need to slow it down a bit.

You need to go see your family Dr. With the help of medication, you can eventually feel like your a part of the world instead of being held hostage in your mind. Once the meds start working which generally takes as long as a month, then you start working on a mind set, and elevate stress that you really don't need in your life. If your serious, you can make it better, but you have to let some things go. "Stop and smell the roses"!

Think of POSITIVE things that happened to your life,the most happiest moment you have. Always bear in Mind that Problems in Life is the Real Spice of Life that keeps you going. Always look at them as a Real Test of your Personal Capabilities. Be strong, PRAY, Problems come and Go if you will just analyze them, all problems have solutions just like in the School Assignments.
Built your SELF CONFIDENCE, this one good way to fight anxiety and be RELAX in facing all trials of life.Never,never let problems stays in your mind once you get rid of it,MOVE FORWARD let it go...it will not help you once you stored them in your Mental State. Hope this message helps you.

I have read some litterature about panic attacks. But they allways seem to have a more scientific approach and that is nothing I need in my struggle to survive those horrible panic attacks. This is a "hand on" and very practical book. I felt it was written to me. I am sure that you are going to feel the same.
Joe Barry writes exactly how I think. The examples are perfectly described. And the method is genius. I recommend this book and thanks Joe Barry for writing it. It changes your life
