Hi there, I'm a newbie on this but not a newbie to anxiety. I've been reading a lot of comments on this about what people are going through and can totally relate to many. My anxiety attacks came on back about 12 yrs ago then suddenly vanished for the next 10... then the past couple of years they have come back. I'm a 45 year old athletic male. I enjoy working out, I have a regular 8-5 day job.
Certain times of the day they come on for me, usually 11am then again around 2pm in the afternoon... then sometimes just an hour before bed.
I've noticed if I sleep well at night, I'm fine during the day and feel good for the most part. But the days I get poor sleep... That's when the struggle happens and get all the symptoms.. I've noticed when I start getting them too severe, I step out of my job for a moment or walk around. I was reading something how putting cold water on your face helps change mood almost instantly. That and doing a walk...
What are some remedies you all use besides getting on medication? I'd be curious to hear so of the instant fixes you all do... I'm sure a lot of you are experts at diverting by now...
And as for sleep at night, do any of you get woken up to anxiety or the rapid heartrate?
