Anxiety
Hi everyone, I'm new on here. I struggle with anxiety attacks. I don't get them as often as I used too. I get them out of the blue for no reason at all, even when I'm asleep. I am taking medication that my GP has prescribed for me. Ps: Sorry I'm not that good at this.

Re: Anxiety
Hi there,
I'm new on here too. It was suggested to me to try this by my counsellor. I suffer from really bad anxiety attacks too almost daily.

Re: Anxiety
Hi and welcome, @Bluesboy and @fairy_magic13 ! It's good to have you both here.
I'm sorry to read you both suffer wth bad anxiety. It really sucks, I know.
Anxiety attacks when asleep sound really horrible, @Bluesboy 😞
I hope you both get a lot out of the forums. You can also type 'anxiety' into the search bar for more threads.

Re: Anxiety
Hello @Bluesboy @fairy_magic13
Welcome to the forums, a place where you'll never feel "different", "silly" or alone.
I suffer too and today is a particulary difficult day for me and I knew I needed help to cope so I chatted to a SANE councellor today who taught me "grounding" it really helped today for me...have you heard or tried it?
Hello beautiful @NatureLover x

Re: Anxiety
"Grounding" is an interesting term. My experience with grounding is in the spirituality field (mainly in regards to having a snack after meditating). It does feel like one of those spiritual concepts that also applies to cognitive behavioural therapy (and such n such and the like). Kind of reminds me of "earthing" in regards to electrical stuff (but I'm no electrician).
