My personal tips for anxiety (dealt with it for many years) is 1) Eliminate caffeine as much as possible 2) Set boundaries, learn to say "no" a lot more and without guilt 3) Slow down a lot, do things half the speed but be mindful 4) Practice mindfulness, I used the book called 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels, it was simple and effective 5) Get out in nature as much as possible and in silence.

I love how these channels always say to sleep more. My insomnia isn't something I choose!

The ONLY DOCTOR that I know who takes her job SERIOUSLY ❤

My last therapist used to always make me state:

•What do you hear?
•What do you smell?
•What do you feel?
•What do you taste?
•What do you see?

These were in no particular order. It was helpful when I was feeling an anxiety attack building up inside.

She makes alot of these things I really couldn’t pursue from over stressing on them seem much more easier and manageable! 🥰 I’ma try to run after my dinner today

I hate worrying about the future, because unless I'm dead, there's always a future to worry about!

[passiturner]

Thanks Dr. Marks for these great tips!

Thank you for more great advice from Ireland

Is it true that if someone has genetically inherited Anxiety would never heal?!, I was told that perfectionists such as myself will always have difficulty copping with their Anxiety and that only a medical regime will allow me to live a normal life.
It is also worth to say that I am constantly trying to overcome this without medication although I gotta say it's freaking tough!

[hawksights]

I don't worry about the future, because it's not my problem /yet

[oonaghmolyneux]

I find hypnosis guided affirmations (eg Enhanced, Paul McKenna, Sarah Raymond meditations on YouTube), singing, and decluttering/getting organised help ease my horrible anxiety and start to plan and act.

you can't feel anxiety when you sing and dance to your favourite music. and the most anxiety reducing music for me is reggae/dancehall

[safenders]

The music was too much. Can barely focus on what is being said

[vincl]

How do you deal with someone who has been diagnosed with psychosis and dementia? 😢

[nili]

If you can increase your tolerance towards anxiety then how can people sometimes can’t function without meds saying it’s all genetics

But EVERYTHING is "processed food".

If you cook something - it's processed.
