I'd like to tell you about a little learning curve I experienced in my Anxiety & Panic days.

I was doing a lot of thinking this one particular day, and this one particular day, it actually turned out to be quite constructive thinking for a change.

I realized that I actually had little "rituals" that I would do in order to stop myself from panicking. This may sound quite odd to you, but I believed that if I sat lower to the ground I thought I was able to breathe better.

I had quite a few little things that I would do like that. Even by taking comfort in being in my own home was another, I felt safer. I'd also play my guitar and in that moment I wouldn't feel these sensations, it had completely left my mind.

And I then thought to myself, hang on a minute, if I can do these little "rituals" and it can stop some of my sensations then I really can't be dying here. If I was truly dying of something deadly then this wouldn't be able to take away that feeling. Think back to when you had a severe flu or stomach bug... Sure some drugs could lessen the severity, but you actually couldn't do a darn thing to stop that sick feeling could you?

THAT became quite a therapeutic thought for me. And helped with the healing process. Maybe it can help you too?
