I need some advice from you guys. These past few days have been terrible for me with School, Friends, Family and everything like that and I've been stressing out lots and I can't get my mind off of it. Because I'm a bit of a worrier and I get Panic attack and stuff. and I feel like I'm gonna go crazy here! So what would you recommend to a Worrier who wants to relax and get his mind off of things for a bit?

Go to the beach.

Worked for me.

Perhaps taking a long bath with a CD of your fave songs playing in the background?

Just a suggestion. The long bath DOES help, though.

lol...I never could do that, which is why I'm on Paxil now.

But naps help.

I would.....but I live in the Middle of Canada. Not too many beaches in Calgary, Alberta

Yeah the nap seems like a good idea. But the thing is I won't be able to sleep because I'll be thinking about all that stuff.

Yeah, a nice hot bath might help.

Brent88 · 06-21-2004, 09:41 PM

OK then... I agree with what everyone else said. Try a nap or a long hot bath. RELAX.

I wish I could recommend something, but I'm looking for the answer, too.

Relax by not relaxing, basically. Go for a walk or a bike ride. Getting active is really good in helping to clear your mind of those cobwebs of despair. Plus you get the physical benefits as well!

And then after you do that, then take a nice bath.

Is Paxil helping at all? I have Social Anxiety and I'm really anxious and uptight all the time? what are the side effects? how long have you been on it?

When Im stressing on something, I tend to try and cover it up and blank it out, which I usually am able to do after a while. Umm... I usually go for a drive around town til I feel bored and want to go back home. I find thinking in the car easier on my mind. Or pop in a tape of your favorite TV show or something.. something thatll make you happy.

I usually light some aromatherapy candles in my room, turn some loud metal music on, and smoke a cigarette. But don't take that last part...

Seriously, it's pretty easy for me to relax these days seeing as I'm on about 5 different medications, but for someone who needs to relax, I'd say take a walk and then take a long, hot shower. Maybe some tea afterwards will help.

i have anxiety problems. but my dad doesnt care

*GoodMorningCalgary* · 06-21-2004, 11:43 PM

Hmmm, I can't sleep. I've been thinking of taking Nyquil or something to knock me out. (I really need the sleep, I have a Diploma exam tomorrow!) so do you think its safe to do that?
