What are some ways to relieve anxiety??!
Question: Lately my anxiety has been getting bad but I dont want to go on any mood altering medications that my doctor is considering. I do take something to help me sleep if I've had a bad day but is there anything else that might help me out??

I have bad anxiety, what I have done is get lavender body lotion and whenever I start getting chest pains I put it on and just breath deeply and think of a quiet place. In a few minutes my chest pains go away... pick a smell that comforts you, and associate that smell to comfort. So whenever you get some anxiety, you have something for yourself.
Get a SHIATSU massage.

Yes, go for a walk!! I know that his sounds simple but if you go for a walk and listen to some of your favorite music it will relax you and take your mind off of things. You might also consider other forms of light exercises. I also knit. I find it very meditative. I also am not a fan of drugs. I see too many patients that rely on antidepressants and anti anxiety meds. It really does seem to change your personality.
Good luck
well cubbie,I like a hot cup of herbal tea.It is a great afrodezact.Drink it when ever you get anxiety.
I usually smoke marijuana... just sit down relax and burn one.
it took me a while to accept it, but it helps.
Despite what government messages say it can be very helpful...
if you are against smoking there are butters that can be used to make baked goods as an alternative to smoking.
(smoking is the least healthy way to ingest the drug, and though it is a Drug, what your doctor gives you is also a drug)
Many would not consider this... But if you compare the side effects of any of your doctor perscribed drugs to marijuana...
I can Guarentee you that the side effects of marijuana are no where near as dangerous or as bad as the side effect of any drug.
I'm not trying to push it... I'm just suggesting an alternative.
