Anxiety Sucks! - Learn how I control my anxiety and stress in life!

Yesterday I attempted to drop a package off at the Post Office and as soon as I left the gate to my complex I turned around and went back home. I had that dreadful feeling of not being able to take a deep breath, so instead of hyperventilating I decided it was best that I just go home.

I am not really sure what prompted the attack. I guess I could blame the worrying I have been doing over work and finances or the lack of sleep or just being exhaused and forcing my body to do something it shouldn’t be doing. I have been working a lot of extra hours, not at my day job but on my business after hours. I think pure exhaustion set me in a  minor relapse. Today I was fine, I went to the store and starbucks and did all my errands before 8AM. I think what made me not fall into a major relapse of agoraphobia was knowing what my “Triggers” are. For me my main triggers are stress and exhaustion.

I urge you all to find what triggers your depression, anxiety or panic attacks. Keep a diary or a reverse to-do list (where you write down everything you did that day instead of following a to-do list). Once you know what your triggers are, you can start to learn how to control your anxiety!
