Anxiety and Panic attacks

I am struggling so much, i live in a small town, the GP we have here knows nothing about Mental illness, he basically just tells me its all in my mind and not an actual illness! I had brain surgery in 2000, almost died, since then i have very high anxiety levels and panic attacks, i cant breathe, i aches and pains all over my body, i am tearfull, i am just not coping! Just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to calm my anxiety to the point where my phyical syptoms go away! Thank you

Hi @Jessie2

 

I am sorry to hear you are struggling.

 

I have just a few tips.

 

I listen to therapeutic music on my headphones which calms my mind down meaning i can go outside. 

I like the article on finding balance https://www.eckharttolle.com/read/. I also like he's teachings on presence.

Grow is a useful organisation for mental health and have online groups depending on in which state you live.

I like chatting to people and the sane helpline is available.

 

That's all i have at the moment. I hope you have a chance to deal with this.

hi @Jessie2 welcome to the forums

I have crippling anxiety and rage. The only thing that helped me is medication from a psychiatrist. I feel much better & can function much more now that I'm on the rights meds.

That is just what worked for me though, every individual is different.
