Tha anxiety I'm feeling right now is intense. Day number 2. Wow. Using meditation to help me. Any suggestions?
Grounding techniques work very well for me.
Short version: Stop and appreciate your surroundings. Colors, sounds, smells, etc. The touch sensation works very well for me. The feeling of rubbing my fingers against my thumbs, rubbing my pant leg, touching things around me.
For me, anxiety/panic attacks are kind of a closed loop that feeds itself, kind of like a skipping record, repeating the same two words, over and over. Grounding techniques lift the needle and move it to the next track.
Google "grounding techniques" if you want other versions and explanations, one of them is bound to help.
