First is this a diagnosed disorder? it depends on how bad it is if you want to do it your self. If its interuppting every or almost every aspect of your life you should talk to a professional. If it mild then excercising every day for about 30 mins helps. If you find your self in a situation where your anxiety is mounting then you cab try deep breathing. When you inhale fill your stomch and when you exhale empty yuor stomach. this usually works because when you find yourself super anxious you may nitce your breathing is fast and/ or shallow. this also helps to put the focus on something other than your anxiety. Try doing 30- 50 deep breaths and see how you feel.

I have anxiety/panic disorder and the only thing that helps me is xanax.

Try this: breathe in hold breath for 5 seconds, breathe out hold breathe for 5 seconds. Do it three times all through the nose and and the third time you breathe out, let it out through the mouth. Also, just try breathing deeper in and out, slowly.

Also, try St.John's Wart. You should take it for a 2-3 month period for it to have an effect.

I see you tried Valerian...was it in capsules? I say, try the tea or in a tincture. Also, Motherwart tincture helps me.

I am not gay and have anxiety, your sexual orientation has no link to the symptoms of anxiety.

Try working out, it helped me and I had really bad anxiety before where I would have panic attacks. Yoga and Pilate's works the best. I was thinking about trying Thai Chi as well. You need to relax and meditate a lot go to Border's or Barnes and Noble they have a row of books and books on CD for you to try. Good Luck!

If you are happy with who you are then that should give you peace. People are always going to judge and say things. We live in a cruel world these days! I know how it is to suffer from panic attacks and high anxiety. If you are going natural I would try a calm exercise such as a good walk or jog. Good luck.

i am a girl..i am not lesbian...i am22 years old...and something i suffer anxiety when i have an exam, when my parents scream...! i breath slowly..i take a cup of tea or i listen my favourity music!
