I have anxiety and it's been coming around more often recently, which is a pain in my ass, but moreso my stomach.

I figure I'm not the only person 'round here that experiences anxiety, so I raise the question of what any of you do to deal with or work through it. I usually keep lamps on (most of my anxiety is at night), the TV for background noise or for easy watching. Sometimes I watch Bob's Burgers and King of the Hill on my laptop or tablet.

Chamomile tea is anti spasmodic, if u get that knotting thing in the belly it's really good 4 that. It's also calming. U can make 2 cups with one bag. Add a little honey or brown sugar & don't use all the way boiled water as it burns the herbs/properties.

Bach rescue remedy

Essential oils; 3 drops of Lavender, 3 Frankincense, 3 Neroli, added 2 a full bath. Oils tend 2 eventually sink 2 the bottom, so occasionally swish the water upwards from the bottom.
They can be quite expensive so if u can get one that's fine, lavender is cheap. Out of the other 2 I'd go 4 the Frankincense. Add 3-6 drops of each 2 a little organic cold pressed coconut oil & you've also got an an excellent night time moisturiser. Ess oils go off after roughly 4 wks. Light & air kills the properties. Keep them in the fridge & keep the lids very tightly closed. Also u can put them in an oil burner, ones with a glass dish are best 4 dispersing the oils in2 the air.

Make sure you're getting enough of the vitamin B's & omega 3. Multi vit & mineral supplements can be helpful. Synthetic supplements aren't great imo tho & the organic ones can be a bit pricey.

All the previous suggestions are excellent. I will also add: Sea-bands. I started to use them for migraine related nausea, and I've found that they work for anxiety too. Might just be placebo effect but I'll take it.

Damn ma, it ain't that bad. Plus I already have anxiety meds.

I was looking for more comfort things.
