FIND A HOBBY! I work on scrapbooks, take photographs, play around on the Internet. Find what works for you!

FIND A GOOD THERAPIST OR SUPPORT GROUP! Follow the links below to find a registry that will help you find a doctor or support group in your area that specializes in anxiety disorders. Call your health insurance company and ask for doctors and therapists in your area who specialize in panic.

PRACTICE SOME FORM OF MEDITATION!! Quiet reflection, prayer, Tai-Chi, solitary walks - anything that will center and calm you.

CUT OUT THE CAFFEINE AND DIET SODAS!! Caffeine is a drug - it speeds up the heart and merely aggravates your anxiety. Another culprit is aspartame, found in diet drinks and food. It is an artificial sweetener - reports show that anxiety and MVP sufferers who eliminated aspartame from their diets report less frequent or the cessation of attacks of skipping and racing heartbeats!

Always remember that you are not alone! E-mail me anytime and I will answer!
