They are good long-term solutions (generally anyway!) By the sounds of it you would benefit from CBT, so it might be worth mentioning this to the psychologist next time. The only problem is there can often be a long waiting list. I know some places may offer group therapy in the meantime though, which can also be very effective. However, if you want to look into more self-help stuff, I can recommend the following book:<br /><br />Overcoming Anxiety self-help course - Dr Helen Kennerly (the "Overcoming" series is endorsed by the Royal College of Psychiatrists so is definitely worth a look at if you can get your hands on it)<br /><br />There is also a lot of information and resources online regarding CBT. In the meantime however, check out this website which offers a few short-term solutions to anxiety attacks: http://www.minddisorders.com/A-Br/Anxiety-reduction-techniques.htmlCharlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514836189114513156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5346238591233403444.post-38258562598076512992015-04-23T13:19:24.007+01:002015-04-23T13:19:24.007+01:00Hi Rebecca :)
Sorry to hear you're having suc...Hi Rebecca :)<br /><br />Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time! It must be really rough :/ anxiety tablets (such as SSRI's) can be really effective for some people and I hope they work for you!<br /><br />There are also lots of things you can do when you feel a panic attack coming on, such as breathing exercises (have a look online or Youtube for resources), that can really help. I went through a 2-year phase of having panic attacks and when I felt the symptoms of the attacks coming on, instead of panicking further I would get into a routine of using breathing exercises which calmed me down. Of course what helps will differ from person to person though. Another technique called Visualisation and Imagery helped me too. Check out this website for some more information: http://www.minddisorders.com/A-Br/Anxiety-reduction-techniques.html<br /><br />Good luck with everything! xCharlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514836189114513156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5346238591233403444.post-40987001474078346512015-04-23T05:25:13.008+01:002015-04-23T05:25:13.008+01:00Oh my gosh, I need DBT in my life!

I also want to try CBT because right now, all I'm doing is going to sessions where I dump all my crap onto the psychologist.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/ayre-2736516" rel="nofollow">Arianne</a>Ariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010201524640381070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5346238591233403444.post-74819684344815972312015-04-20T21:47:35.091+01:002015-04-20T21:47:35.091+01:00I take anxiety/panic attacks during events, in par...I take anxiety/panic attacks during events, in particular TRAINING! I work as a Care Assistant, which means I have to travel two hours from home for classes in moving and handling etc. It's a hard slog, I have to wake up at 6am to be there on time (thank you morning traffic). <br /><br />I went last Monday for my first session, and all was fine until an hour into the class.. next thing I know I'm rushed out of the room and placed in a chunky chair with a bucket. I was mortified, and all my work colleagues witnessed the ordeal (they claim I was as white as a ghost haha). <br /><br />However this time I have decided to use anxiety tablets in the hope they work. It's just pinpointing what I can do in a classroom environment that will allow me to calm down without being disruptive, I can't begin to tell you how many times I apologized to our teacher haha :) I've tried sitting back in my chair and using breathing techniques but I just don't feel as though it's enough :( x<br /><br />www.sheintheknow.co.ukAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
