have you tried meditating? Exercise? The meditation helped me on my initial come down and the exercise still helps me up to now. Do you exercise regularly?

i can't really exercise good anymore i fucked my back up and i constantly meditate even when talking to someone i just try to find the quite spot in my brain and live there but the anxiety keeps pulling me out

Have you tried different breathing techniques with your meditation? syncing your breathing with your heart rate can stimulate the release of chemicals in your body that calm you down. And deep breathing techniques will flood your body with fresh oxygen which will also calm you down considerably.

yeah the best breathing technique with me is to breathe deep and slow from my stomach instead of my chest

^^ That's perfect. Try to remember and utilize that while anxious/stressed.

 

[mrflowers00]

i do and it helps if the anxiety is manageable but it usually isn't

Do you have high blood pressure? It's important to remember to relax and get a blood pressure reading. Get many over time to have a good idea on if you have blood pressure issues.
