Perimenopause anxiety and panic
Posted , 9 users are following.
Does anyone have any tips to getting through an anxiety/panic attack. I was prescribed alprazolam, but I don't want to just pop a pill everytime I start to overthink something. I would like to try a few things to ease anxiety first to see if I can get through it on my own. I can usually get through the day by keeping busy or going for a walk outdoors, but these are things I can't really do at night when my anxiety can be the worst.

Thank you Michelle! I do have a sweet tooth, so maybe I'll cut down some there and try to rest a bit in the daylight hours. Glad to hear that you're able to get in 6 km of walking..sounds like you're on the right track to kicking this anxiety!

Been there! Coles notes (because I just typed you a LONG response and it deleted! Grrr), get a book called The Panic & Anxiety Workbook. Learn about CBT. Distraction is the BEST medicine. And YOU are in control. Panic attacks ALWAYS end and nobody has died from one. Best of thoughts to you in your fight. I mastered mine, so you can, too!
