10000000_ Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I've been suffering from anxiety for a while now and i have looked for methods to calm myself down but none of them have been of any help. I've told my parents about this but they refuse to believe that I have anxiety. I don't know what else to do. Lately it's been getting worse and I know I need help but my parents don't believe me, so I was hoping I could end it with out the help of a doctor. Is that possible?

IrmaJean Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Welcome to the community. I'm sorry you're struggling with anxiety and your parents were not supportive when you reached out to them. Is there a school counselor or another trusted adult you might confide in? I have trouble with anxiety too at times. I understand that it can be very distressful. There is not a quick or simple "fix" to make it end, I don't think. Talk therapy, relaxation techniques, and medication have helped me, but I still have my moments of struggling with this. Are you feeling anxious about anything in particular or is it an overall all the time feeling? Take care, 10000000_. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Letting my body control my breathing and learning to relax all muscles fully are things that helped me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Finding some activity that you can lose yourself in, get absorbed into, I find that helpful. Exercise, doing chores, internet stuff, TV, catching a nap, pigging out some good food, a good book, cup of coffee. Whatever works for you.
