Relaxation. What a concept sometimes, huh? I have panic attacks, am very sensitive to stress. Finding something to relax me at times is like a monumental feet. Not available. It just goes too far in my head and I can't calm down.
Now days I do have a pill I can take for the bad times but, I try to find others ways to calm myself first. I am working on being more positive and that really helps.
So, something I noticed recently that really helps is that finding something of interest to divert your interest really helps. Before you know it you are relaxed.

Maybe yoga meditation and breathing would help. It is not a religion, but a way to slow things down and be in the moment. I am sure there are classes nearby.

I love yoga. Breathing is something I always do. My degree of anxiety is such that the basics don't help much.

the phrase a change is as good as a rest applies - the change of direction can be a real life-saver

It is really important to find ways to de-stress. I am glad you are finding ways to do it without medication.

I have never had a rough time relaxing even in the most stressful times of my life!

I am happy to know you've found a way around the stress/anxiety you can feel.
I know taking the pills can do the job, but the pills can also stress your body while they help your mind.
Pretty has anxiety and panic attacks, too... She exercises to help take her mind off whatever is causing the problems.

I experience anxiety/panic attacks too. It happens once or twice a week. I don't know what to do with it anymore. I have this thought of taking some pills but I am scared of the side effects. Plus, I am already taking a lot of maintenance medications right now.

Your thought pattern during this time is important. Usually there is nothing you can do about the problem at that moment so keeping that in mind. Also. try to be as positive as possible.
