Mega anxiety and overthinking. What can I do?

[headphonequeen]

I’m prone to this anyway but have had something happen recently that has completely sent me into a spiral. How do people deal with their anxiety when it gets really bad. It’s ruining my days and I’m not sleeping well.

You go to the GP and tell them.

Medication and CBT

I take medication for my anxiety. I also try to distract myself when it's bad although this doesn't always work.

I take anti anxiety meds. If I am really bad, I might be able to persuade GP to give me a few Valium to help me through. Sometimes they refuse obviously.

Aside from meds, get outside, on your own, in the fresh air, and walk or run.
