Improved diet and more exercise would be the next logical step. It's amazing what a good workout (bike ride, hike, swim) can do for stress and anxiety. Also start a journal, write everything down that is bothering you. Try to note when your anxiety is worst.





That recipe works wonders.





If the above are not working seek counseling -but keep up with plan A.





Meds should be a last resort, used in combination with everything else mentioned above.Anxiety help? advice? meds?
First off the root of anxiety, shyness, nervousness, and so forth are from fear. When the mind is afraid then the body will get the messages, so then the body will turn tensed, rigid, have fast heart beats, ect.





My strategy to go against fear is this;


Now when your in a fearful situation such as being around people, well I want you to imagine every negative or positive outcome that may happen to you when your in a fearful situation and just ';let it happen'; instead of ';preventing'; it. When you try to prevent these outcomes made up in your mind, you create a barrier of fear, which makes your body turn tensed and rigid. Think about this though has fear ever benefited you in your whole life? Or has it instead made your situation worse by making your body turn tensed and rigid?


You are human, you are certainly going to die in this lifetime and so is everyone else. So ';try'; to ';enjoy'; every moment you can living, instead of living in ';fear';. You can possibly die next week, next month or maybe in the next 2 years.
Try directly experiencing the anxiety.
