Small things can make a big difference. When I'm hydrated my anxiety level is manageable. I still feel paranoid about leaving the house but at least not getting a panic attack. I've noticed that usually when I do have a panic attack I haven't been hydrating.

Reading is another small thing that helps. It's relatively guilt free and provides an escape while also helping my concentration. I don't know how it helps, all I know is that I can do things more smoothly and mindfully after an hour of reading than I can before I've read anything. Maybe just coincidence, will need to experiment more.

I'm trying to have a positive attitude. I am a little afraid about this in that I have a superstition that worrying prevents bad things from happening, which means if I worry less, then something really bad is going to come crashing down on me. I hope that doesn't happen. I'm tired of living my life in a state of constant fear. I want to be the cheerful person I used to be.
