It could really help if you could post more information on your anxiety then I could give more solid advice.
A professional- counseller, doctor, etc may be a good idea as they can teach you ways to deal with this and also talking it through may help you with the situation that may be causing your anxiety, if any. There is also the option of medication if you really cannot deal with it anymore.
For anxiety attacks- there are many symptoms for these, such as hyperventalating, palipitations, sweaty palms, feeling naseous, intense fear, feeling like you're dying, etc- you need to ideally be in a quiet place if possible. Try to focuss on breathing. Think of afterwards- something you might be doing. Breathe in a paper bag if it helps. It may also help to be with a friend and have them talk to you and hold your hand; just to help calm you down.
Since you're at school, if you get anxiety attacks there it may be an idea to talk to someone incharge. Head of year? Tutor? I was given an exit card, which meant I could leave lessons without having to explain whenever I could feel an attack coming on. Although often they couldn't be predicted.
Is this the case with you?
Try to focuss on something else until the moment have passed. I don't really know what else to offer. I hope things get better and this helped some xxxx [ why_did_you's advice column | Ask why_did_you A Question ]
karenR answered Friday April 15 2005, 10:24 pm: What kind of anxiety? Do you have like an anxiety attack where your palms get sweaty and your heart beats real hard? Do you hyperventilate? If so the best thing to do is to take deep breaths and calm down. If you hyperventilate Breath into a paper bag until breathing slows down to normal. Bring it up to your doctor if it gets really bad.

glamnglitz answered Tuesday April 12 2005, 5:13 pm: Hey. I'm anxious (it's not extreme though) sometimes too... I think that you should practice meditating. Just breathe in and out and try to calm yourself down. Stop thinking about anything and just listen to yourself breathe.
You can also try writing down all the things you're worried about. That might help, because it'll take a load off your mind. [ glamnglitz's advice column | Ask glamnglitz A Question ]
ShYbl0nD3 answered Tuesday April 12 2005, 4:39 pm: i have enxietys too but probably not extreme. But depending on what kind you have, meditation helps. Or trying to face what gives you the enxietys. Like with me i dono what really causes it but i get nervus about something and then i get all dry in the mouth. So i need to breath in warm air to calm my self down. But what ever you have you need to clam your self down and try whatever you think will help with the one you have. But meditation helps.
hope i helped and good luck! [ ShYbl0nD3's advice column | Ask ShYbl0nD3 A Question ]
