.... Have a really bad day with your stress/anxiety?

I know people have done this thread before... But I've woken up today and really don't know what to do with myself, my anxiety has gone through the roof.... For no reason... Just wanted to get it off my chest and I dont have anyone else to talk to....

What do people do to try and stifle it... I've been for a long walk..... I'm not trying a cup of tea and a biscuit, I feel like I'm about 90

All the time!

I try to just remind myself that it will pass and use distraction techniques.

Hope you're feeling better soon OP

Constantly.. I go for a walk and sit outside and focus on something beautiful near me for a while to ground me. If it's stuff on my mind I write them down so I can see them and know that they're doable and not such a big thing x

Yes, lots of the time. Be kind to yourself. Do you have a favourite book, film or singer you could distract yourself with? It’s ok to have a day snuggled up on the sofa and just immerse yourself in something just for you. Plus talk to us on Fab, there is always someone to listen x

When I get anxious: I walk my cat - on a leash. I’m never nervous when I walk him, thus realize there’s no need to be nervous at all; most wouldn’t be seen dead walking a cat

First of all your not alone as others have said take time to be kind to yourself try some breathing exercises I find they help. You know this will pass try distracting yourself I concentrate on colouring in take care OP hugs to you xx

Thank you everyone... I really appreciate your answers..... Dragged myself to play cricket for the day..... Surely chasing a little red ball round a big field will make me feel better x

You want to stay away from caffeine when you have anxiety.

"You want to stay away from caffeine when you have anxiety.

As it happens, the milk I had on my granola, was on the turn and curdled in my tea.... So I never had it.... Had green tea instead

I'm still at the stage where I don't know HOW to be kind to myself, so I can't really give advice on that bit.

I have a group of friends on the scene who whenever I go to theirs I'm instantly grounded. That's simply not possible all the time though.

I've tried watching people being kind to one another, ya know, random acts of kindness, but that seems to do the opposite sometimes and really stresses me that people can be so shitty to one another when there's no need at all, other days it can be just the ticket.

But most of all, knowing people care helps a lot.
