There are so many stresses in the world. Some people have more than others. A lot of times these stresses can and will cause anxiety attacks or panic attacks. I've had them and let me tell you, they're not fun. How do you deal with your anxiety? Do you take any medicine for it? Does anyone take any herbs everyday to keep anxiety away? There are so many medicines out there that one can take to help with anxiety and also there are natural remedies. Just curious as to what people are doing to handle their anxiety.

Usually I do take an anti-depressant for my anxiety, but my new insurance has not kicked in yet, so I have not taken it for awhile. I can definitely feel that I have not taken it either. Having anxiety is not fun, especially when it includes having panic attacks. People cannot judge others if they choose to take medicine to help them relieve their symptoms.

My stress levels are at an all time high. Hubby is in hospital, I'm left to take care of a rather batty MIL and four kids in a country which is not my own, where language is tough. I have been advised to get medicine for my strees but I'm worried that I'll be like a zombie if I do that. So I have spent a lot of time walking, we live in the countryside so the walks are nice. I also try to pray more and keep a journal. Alsp focusing on what I can do now to make a difference, so today I'll spend time with the kids making cookies and putting up our Christmas tree. When stress is really bad I take things one hour at a time. Sometimes that is all you can do.

I don't take any medicines to cure or prevent a certain disorder or disease. I only take supplement capsules to boost my resistance. I do have a healthy living and take care of my health a lot.
