Answer 3

i have a panic disorder and agoraphobia, and i am constantly looking for ways to calm my mind.

little things like, playing sudoku, or piano, or reading, it all depends on where you are (obviously you cant walk around with a piano in your back pocket) but something that i have found really good, is Rescue Remedy; it relaxes your mind and takes away unwanted stressful thoughts, but its not like taking harmful addictive medication, because it is totally natural. i would recommend it to any1.

hope this helps. :)

Answer 4

I used to feel the same way. Please take this into consideration. It worked for me, although I am not you.

I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be my use of Splenda. Yup Splenda. How could something that taste so good, be so bad?



I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might be using it and don't even know it!



Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues and more.

Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose



The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air
