Thanks for checking in

I have found that when I would have an anxiety attack the best thing to do was put my boots on and go for a walk. I just grab a bottle of water and concentrate on each step and keep moving for at least 1/2 an hour.

I used to have really bad anxiety attacks.... to the point where I would be bouncing off the floor! I thought if I just lied down and tried to be very quiet, I would get over it but then my mind would start racing and I would spiral out of control.

Counseling definitely helped but physical excersion helped more, in my case.

I'm so glad that you dont have a more serious problem.
