Extreme anxiety now

super-meg

Hi. 

My anxiety is currently right through the roof! I have an appointment soon to get some medication for it but does anybody have any ideas how I can lower it myself for a bit just to get me by?

thanks.

  • For what it's worth, I can second the "reading a book" suggestion. I've found good fiction massively helpful at times of stress. So long as I start it prior to the worst of the stress, I can slip back into the narrative and be distracted from any anxiety triggers. 

    Got to love a good e-reader.

     

    It isn't a long term solution, but it may be worth a go until you have a more long term plan in place.
