Rituals - Anxiety & Panic

I'd like to tell you about a little learning curve I experienced in my Anxiety & Pnaic days.I was doing a lot of thinking that one particular day, and that 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 couple of little things that I would do like that. Even by taking comofrt in being in my own home was another, I felt safer. I’d also play my guitar and in that moment I wouldn’t guess these sensations, it had completely left my mind.And I then thought to myself, hang on a minute, if I can do tehse 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 that wouldn't be able to take away that feeling.

Think back to when you had a sevree 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 prcoess.
Maybe it can help you too?
