You can try finding a workbook on Amazon that is DBT for anxiety. It's really helpful. It deals with teaching you behaviors, and not hyper focusing on emotions. It helped me with my panic disorder. It teaches you crisis skills as well as daily skills to prevent future issues as well.

One of the tricky things about personality disorders is how hard they are to actually diagnose, it took about 4 months of me acting out before they’d diagnose me. There’s also c-ptsd which can also cause people to have a favorite person. I’m not a professional though, so it could honestly just be ocd and gad.

Here’s the links though

You might not have a lot of money right now but I highly recommend this book -- it's got a ton of useful information and exercises to identify and alleviate stress and anxiety. CBT and DBT practices are common in many inpatient and outpatient recovery because self-medicating for anxiety is one of the biggest reasons alcoholics and addicts cite.

For myself, taking walks and listening to podcasts help distract me from obsessing over my anxiety and fears. I also try and keep regular breaths -- I find a lot of the time, when I'm anxious, I'm actually holding my breath without thinking.

Thanks! I'm really surprised that it even popped into my mind as something I could use. I haven't really thought about DBT seriously and there are no therapists here that teach it. The idea of radical acceptance just came to me as a possible coping method I could use without having to move my body so I figured what the hell, might as well give it a try. I mean, it can't hurt, right? I'm definitely going to do the workbook I have

A friend tells me that DBT has mindfulness in it, I think my meditation practice helped with that. I try to meditate 5 minutes a day at the very least, a couple of times a day, I started doing it last July.

Its very focused on smoking. You mention CBT...have you looked into DBT? Something like the following may be better: The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook for Anxiety: Breaking Free from Worry, Panic, PTSD, and Other Anxiety Symptoms Paperback – November 3, 2011

No harm in trying everything. DBT approach does recommend being in therapy as far as I know. DBT also builds on mindfulness... which I imagine could be an extremely powerful tool for managing anxiety. Mindfulness is best learned with guided meditation.

She may not want to talk about what is going on (especially if your parents/mental health professionals have been asking her to reveal things that she may not feel comfortable revealing) but I think just being reminded how much you care about her and giving her lots of distractions are so so helpful.

I think it is FANTASTIC that she journals and I think that she should be encouraged to do so, but as much as your family might want to find out what is going on inside of her I think it is important that journals are kept private. I would share this with your parents. Speaking from personal experience, my parents read my diary when I was 18 (and again when I was 20) and what was a really good outlet for me then became something I was nervous about my parents finding and reading and it was so hard for YEARS to get back into it. I so can't stress this enough - journaling is tremendously helpful to work through difficult things that you may not feel like sharing with others but the privacy is something that should be respected. If she is concerned at the privacy of her journal, I would suggest one that comes with a simple lock/key mechanism. If anything it might give her piece of mind.

My first psych gave me a book once that was super helpful with depression/anxiety called The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook for Anxiety I would look into getting it for her and seeing if it is helpful. If anything, if she is struggling with working through difficult feelings it can help make sense and organize thoughts and emotions with prompts and better help her relay these things to her mental health professionals and family members.

This a million times over. THIS. It's a whole series of workbooks and def uses mindfulness in it.

Valium. I'm not kidding. I used it a couple of times during my very early quit. Now I'm at a point where I don't think about failing or even worry about it...I'm just learning to live a different way. I just ordered this book...got it today...I'll let you know if it's any good.

I really want this workbook to use with my clients. They have a lot of trouble working through anxiety, as I think many people do, and having had exposure and ability to use some of the pages in here, I know it is helpful and effective. I'm transitioning a group that was with a former therapist who was with them a very long time. I apparently run things quite a bit differently, so that's creating even more anxiety than they would normally have! (Therapy group btw).

I'd likely use that workbook at least once a week, if not more.

And where did the phrase Goodbye Eleven come from? Maybe I should know, but I don't, and I'm curious. Thanks for the contest!

Bullet journaling really works for me. I find that normal agendas look stressful and don’t make me feel accomplished. They don’t have to be an art piece either, r/bulletjournal is a good place to start. All you need to start out with is a notebook you’re excited about, a good pen you like writing with, and a few highlighters. a link that might be helpful.

You can also just pick one hard thing to do per day, or one step to take in a multi-step process. That’s 5-7 steps per week, which is more than enough to get the ball rolling. Maybe it’s a hard phone call, a chore, an appointment, a draft of your resume, etc. Just do at least one thing. When you do the hard thing, write it down and cross it off so you have a log of what you’ve done. I even give myself little shiny stickers so I feel more accomplished.

As others have said, if you haven’t reached out for support I would encourage you to do so. Counselling can be really helpful. If money is an issue, there’s workbooks available in regular bookstores under the self-help or mental health sections, or on Amazon. I have this one and this one . They’re designed to be worked though on your own or with a counsellor over a period of 8-10 weeks per book, but you can go at your own pace. They really helped me. These two specifically are one type of therapy style (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy - DBT) that I found helpful, but some people like CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). Practitioners usually specialize in one of these styles as well. If one style doesn’t work for you, then it might be worth it to check out the other.

In my experience, a good medication has been tough to find for me, but I know it has helped for a lot of people I know. If it’s an option you have the resources to explore, I would recommend reaching out to your family doctor (GP) and ask for a referral to a psychiatrist if they are not comfortable treating your anxiety. There’s lots of options out there, so don’t be afraid to tell your doctor if a medication isn’t working for you or is giving you side effects. It’s their job to find you options and it can be bad for your health long term to stay on a medication that isn’t a good fit.

I know it’s cliché and probably a little r/wowthanksimcured to talk about things like exercise and sleep hygiene, but in my personal situation I have found exercise to be a massive outlet. It’s exhausting to think about some days and it’s really hard to do, but even a short lap around the block to clear my head has really helped during hard times. It became a big part of my self regulation when I was overwhelmed on campus or needed to make those hard phone calls. A regular sleep schedule is also important, since too much or too little sleep is very stressful on a physical and psychological level. It’s hard as hell, but even just planning to be in bed before a certain time is a step in the right direction.

I wish you the best of luck, you’ve got this.

Everyone is different. When I started these exercises, I certainly needed more like 30 minutes. Only after I have learned to ride the wave of feelings and be ok with it, then it gets faster.

I recommend this book as a possible place to start, but all of these techniques work better with proper doctor helping you along. Don't self-diagnose. Don't assume just reading these techniques will help you without a doctor. I also recommend taking a licensed mindfulness course (not the hippie-dippy ones or the kind on youtube. Look for clinically trained mindfulness instructors. There's a good one at Hillsboro Yoga). but above all - you need to integrate it into who you are via lots of practice.
