Anxiety tips

I've had a really bad week with family stuff going on. Felt like during the events I was quite calm but now it's passed and things are ok (ish) again I'm feeling very anxious. I usually love a chilled Sunday night, it's the most relaxing time of the week for me but tonight I feel jittery, unable to concentrate and full of dread. I'm tense, pacing around a lot and just feel like I have a lot of nervous energy.

I have a nice week planned ahead with a special day out for me and dh which is rare. But can't even muster the enthusiasm for it now. I feel shit. I'm wondering if it could be due to my cycle/hormones as I do get this feeling wash over me now and then.

Does anyone have any tips to help me relax a bit? Laying in bed currently and will try some breath work.

Can you listen to soothing music? Or find a hypnotherapy recording for anxiety. Spotify is my go to for these. They are also helpful for getting to sleep.

If you’re still up now, try a cold shower. It can reduce cortisol and release endorphins.

A hot water bottle really helps me. I think it’s a combination of the heat and the weight.

Hope you feel better soon ☺️
