If you truly suffer from anxiety issues or a poor emotional state due to some sort of traumatic or extreme experiece in your life, then I would suggest one thing.
This product helps bring certain emotions to the surface, emotions that if left locked up can keep you in a stagnant state. It also helps individuals deal with such emotions as grief, pain, loneliness, and/or despair.
It is completely homeopathic, and can usally be found at any health food store- you don't have to order some product from the internet.

When I took up 'running' (aged 54) my anxiety levels dropped dramatically, and I experienced unprecedented feelings of sweetness and well-being. It was a phenomenal effort at first (for the very committed couch-potato that I had always been) but within days the results were so phenomenal that I started writing a book, about the adventure of learning to 'run' in my middle years. Since then I have lapsed, and returned to my former lethargic life-style. My fear levels are presently quite crippling. I am resolved to start my 'running' regime again (as soon as it stops raining), and to finish the book this winter !

Im 41. And like all of you ive tried everything. Pills, pot, meditation, sex, drugs, rock and roll, all the herbs, henbane, kava, valerian, hops, shitloads of booze. Anything to just stop my brain from telling me i am going to die. Sleep used to be a joke. I tried all the anti-depressents, narcotics etc. But i have found the holy grail for all of us.
Breakfast - 250 mgs of GABA
Lunch - 250 MGs of GABA
Dinner - 250 MGS of GABA
Before bed - 500 MGs of GABA and 500 MGS of Magnesium(Ionic Fizz is the best)
Its important to know that your panic attack is a sympton of a lie that our brains are telling us. It tells us its time to worry and blast off. Do what i do and tell your brain to STFU. And it hates it when i do something positive that builds self esteem. Running or walking etc.
Now for the last thing that will set you free. GET OUT OF OURSELVES AND INTO SOMEONE ELSE. I cant stress this enough. In the middle of your attack, go but a couple 1$ hamburgers and give them to a homeless man. Tell him you love him and that God does as well. Then shake his or her hand. You will think about that person and the good you did all day. Thats my meditation.

you get into a panic attack through your thoughts so you need to get out of it through your thoughts and then when you see that you simply think your way out of it you stop having them altogether.dont be fooled by your thoughts that it is not that easy it is.just tell yourself that if you feel it is not going away fast enough for you that it will be gone sooner than you think especially if you keep your thoughts to yourself reassuring and positive.it sounds too easy but if you call fears bluff youll be shocked at how fooled you were by your own thinking.guaranteed success if you apply it no pills no therapist no doctor no fear.

I am in love with nature, so i tend to use it to my advantages. My mother had a problem getting over her anxiety and she would always freak. I was experimenting with herbs when i made this concocsin (sorry for the spelling) that included peppermint leaves, honey, and a pinch of sugar. Boil the water (regular tea heat) add the peppermint leaves, pour it in a cup. Then add the honey and sugar. Make sure you sit down while drinking and take deep breaths!

I have a number of remedies for Anxiety and/or Stress, starting with my top recomendation and on.
1. Hypnosis/self hypnosis - this has been show to be the most benificial alternative remedy that doesn't involve medication, herbs, supplements ect. You can even hypnotize yourself and there are many programs out there on the internet for that.
2. Blue Vervain - a natural herb that is usually found as a tincture, has no adverse reactions known and promotes relaxation, due to the fact that it is a natural muscle relaxer. It only lasts a couple of hours and needs to be taken several times throughout the day, however. Some may not like the taste of it either, but is better when mixed with tea.
3. Kavaa - a natural muscle relaxer, the strongest I know out there and can be found in a variety of means (ie tea or pills, etc). However, it can cause insomnia and should only be taken in the morning. It can also cause memory lapses and decreased concentration or focus. It should not be taken every day, and only in intervals with at least a week off every month. The positive benifit is that it puts you in a very relaxed state, can take away muscle spasms, twitches, rashes and other stress related problems. I suggest Yogi Kavaa Stress Relief Tea with Kavaa.
Other Herbs for Anxiety/Stress:
Gotu kola
Passion flower
Skullcap

Find something that you really have to focus on like reading. I tend to go to WebMD and read about what is ailing me and then I seem to calm way down. I think that it may have to do with getting your mind re focused on something else or realizing that what is going on isn't as bad as you might have imagined it was.

I have been suffering from anixiety and panic disorder for 7 years now. I've tried antidepressants which helped at first but last time I tried them it made my symptoms 10 times worse! I've learned to control them with healthly living; eating well, excercise, good sleep patterns. One thing that I tried 7 days ago is cutting sucralose (splenda) out of my diet. I have been symptom free for 5 days now! (I started using splenda 7 years ago. Coincendence?)

My panic attacks are awful, and I always panic and think Im dying.
Whenever I get a panic attack, I think to myself, if I couldnt breath I'd be dead by now, praying to God e.g please God, Im very scared, help me get stronger etc etc is also a good way as you dont feel so 'alone'.
Also, drink water, it helps.

5-HTP is wonderful for anxiety. It's an herb that balances out the serotonin in your brain helping you to achieve more of a balance, thus lessening anxiety. And it helps you sleep better at night, which as everyone knows if you don't sleep well it can make your anxiety (or any other health problem) much worse.

I found the remedy Anxie D by biorevival can relieve anxiety pretty quickly. The product contains vitamin d3 and l theanine which work together to bring relief. Vitamin d 3 has been studied extensively for anxiety.

To alleviate anxiety oxytocin a hormone is activated in the pituitary gland in the brain via nipple stimulation. What is needed is two bobby pins that are used to pinch each nipple. At first you may need to remove the bobby pins after a period of time according to your pain threshold. With time your pain threshold will increase allowing your nipples to be remain pinched during your waking hours. It is not recommended that you sleep with the bobby pins in place.
Nipple stimulation is relayed by spinal nerves to the hypothalamus. The stimulation causes neurons that make oxytocin to fire action potentials in intermittent bursts; these bursts result in the secretion of pulses of oxytocin from the neurosecretory nerve terminals of the pituitary gland.
Oxytocin evokes feelings of contentment, reductions in anxiety, and feelings of calmness and security.

One of the most effective things you can do if you are having a panic attack is to pick up a tennis ball or something small and toss it back and forth. Keep tossing it back and forth. It interrupts left brain and right brain activity making it impossible to have a panic attack. sometimes you may find that closing your eyes and trying to think about the panic attack as you do this relieves the worry. As you throw the object lightly back in forth and keep letting go of the ball as it goes back and forth you allow yourself to relax more and more. Other things that help are proper diet, exercise, yoga and meditation, alternate nostril breathing(pranayama), and herbal supplements. These things will work and you will be in a state of relaxation, free of anxiety.

For panic attacks and anxiety, proper breathing is an art that is hard to master but does a world of difference! Notice that adults tend to breath incorrectly, from their chest/rib cage. During attacks, people tend to hyperventilate and get too much oxygen. Breath in slowly to the count of 3, hold and then breath out to a slow count of five. Do this while sitting upright or laying flat with your hands over your stomach. Make sure your hands rise with the breaths.
Practice this at least 2-3 times a day for about 3 minutes. And use whenever you have a panic attack. It helps greatly.
