Lately I've been dealing with some anxiety.
For the last couple weeks I've been getting short of breath and struggling to take a deep breath. Wasn't sure if I was panicking because I couldn't breath or if I was having trouble breathing because I was panicking. I went to the ER the other day any my heart seemed fine, and they've indicated I'm probably just dealing with some anxiety issues.
So, I've dealt with anxiety and depression before. I was on Celexa for a while and it worked fine. I'm not sure how long it'll be to speak to a doctor, but in the meantime I've been trying to find some natural ways of dealing with this stuff.
I drink one cup of coffee a day, and I'm thinking about kicking that habit. I've been taking a couple capsules of St. Johns Wort and just this morning it struck me that maybe green tea in place of coffee could be beneficial.
Lately I've just felt really on edge like I could have a big blow up at any minute. The breathing thing scares me and just makes things worse. Do you guys have any suggestions of things to try that could help calm my shit down?
EDIT:
The taste of green tea. Oof.
