I already suffer from GAD, but the last few days I’ve been on the edge of a panic attack and I just can not freaking relax. No insurance, and broke for prescriptions or even OTC meds; so wondering if there’s some kind of fruit/veggie or tea that might help a little bit. I hate this god damn feeling.
When I’m stressed out my potassium levels sink. Low potassium then affects my heart rate and this makes my anxiety go through the roof. If you feel like there’s a possibility that you have nutrient issues: bananas, nuts and so on can help.
For tea you may look into calming stuff like lavender (helps you calm down and sleep) or passion flower (is said to be a good remedy against anxiety) l. Try to take your time brewing and drinking it.
Warmth also helps to relax. If you have one and it’s not too warm around you, you can use a hot water bottle.
