Water Helps Ease General Anxiety!
Today I want to look at something so simple and yet equally powerful in alleviating the symptoms of general anxiety. This tip also helps reduce the frequency and strength of panic attacks.
Fresh Drinking Water
There is no quicker way to significantly reduce general anxiety than adopting good eating and drinking habits. One of the most easily implemented and effective additions to your diet is fresh water.
Water is a great quencher of thirst but more importantly here –a great quencher of anxiety.
Nearly every function of the body is monitored and pegged to the efficient flow of water through our system. Water transports hormones, chemical messengers, and nutrients to vital organs of the body.
When we don’t keep our bodies well hydrated, they may react with a variety of signals… some of which are symptoms, of anxiety. Here is some interesting information about water
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so
weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism
as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for
almost all of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of water, is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
Regular fresh drinking water is a vital ingredient to your diet. This is something the medical profession has been telling us for years. When we are dehydrated our cells can feel this at a molecular level and communicate this to the subconscious as an underline subtle anxiety or threat to survival.
The key to re-balancing a deficit of fluids is to drink eight glasses of fresh water daily. You must spread this intake throughout the day and not drink it all in one go! Otherwise you don’t give your body a chance to absorb it.
Have you noticed the effects of dehydration on your emotions before? If you have ever suffered from a serious hangover after a night out on the town, you will understand the feeling of dehydration all too well.
Hangovers result from dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. I’m sure many of you are familiar with the “the hangover fear”. This is a heightened sense of anxiety and jumpiness that results from the dehydration of hangover.
The surest way for someone who suffers from high anxiety to experience yet more anxiety, is to drink excessive amounts of alcohol and wait for the hangover to set in the following day.
It is important to be aware that dehydration is a factor that contributes to anxiety and nervousness. The good news is that it is easily remedied by drinking regular fluids. Personally, I have found that not only does regular intake of water ward off any subtle feelings of anxiety, but it is also incredibly useful for building stamina and avoiding fatigue. Give this some real consideration. Simply increasing the amount of fresh water you drink is a very easy step to incorporate into your daily routine. Most of us fall short of consuming the recommended amount.
Always remember that there is a lot of hope for an immediate and successful recovery from all forms of panic attacks and anxiety disorders. You can have the life of your dreams – Anxiety does not have the right to steal that hope from you.
Sometimes taking very small steps can lead to massive improvements. One of my favorite writers wrote about how everyone should approach their problems with the same philosophy as the woodpecker.
Keep chipping away at it and eventually the whole damn tree will collapse!

After reading most of the comments left by people who suffer from this terrible condition it is interesting how the common theme here is that panic attacks and GAD have really stolen their life. I began feeling heavy anxiety almost three years ago and have since suffered from multiple Panic attacks and my day to day life has been like i am living in a parallel world with people who can freely communicate with people the way I used to be able to. I can relate ever so strongly to this horrible feeling that your life has been stolen from you. I have been taking Lexapro and Alprazolam daily now for the past year and I feel numb to natural pleasures and on the opposite spectrum how to deal rationally with problematic situations.
I have only just signed up to have your hard copies sent out to me as I am a bed time reader and I am just hoping ever so much that this will in fact “give me my life back”.

you could’nt be more right! since ive been drinking alot more water i have noticed a huge difference in being able to control my anxiety and panic! I discovered it purely by accident as i used to be a personal trainer i know the key to staying healthy is staying hydrated! keep up the good word.

While going through my divorce, I was fine, I asked for it. A few days after getting the final decree, I had what I later found out to be a panic attack. I thought it was a stroke or something and went to the ER. I ignored the attack and went back to work, where I then experienced a worse panic attack in a very remote location. A helicopter had to fly me out! I now have GAD and experience depression. I was given Lexapro and Xanax. This program has given me hope to get well. The drugs only made me feel worse. I am not there yet, but this really is in our minds and the methods here make sense. Just reading through it builds confidence that instantly takes away some of the anxiety. Mahalo for everything. The program, the emails, it all helps so much.
Sonia
Eric,
I had the same problem, the medicines made me feel worse, so now i am trying without any help and it is so scary.
I am a very logical person, so it is so infuriating to know that this is in my head and yet there is nothing i can do about it!
This program has been very helpful so far though.
good luck to you!

Having read the second excert regarding anxiety, it is true that dehydration affects, even though I never new it… When I don’t drink my quota of at least three pints daily, my dizziness is worse and the anxiety takes over… Thankyou for all your valued information… I look forward to the next installment…Many thanks!
LeeAple
yeh, yeh. dehydration and panic is interrelated. After beeing night out and having few drinks, I noticed next day I have panic with no visible reason. It indeed can be related with livers (this organ is responsible for feeling of security) and also that body might be affraid for survival. After good yoga lesson I feel secure, even walk can be nice adventure, world feels like home and not hostile place where to be.
Carlos
Thank you so much for all these testemonies on this web site. I’m Carlos and I’m 29. I’ve been living with panic attacks for 8 years and I didn’t know what to do. Now I’m graduating at Theology and I’m too worried what is going to happen to me when I stay in front of the members of the church. I have panic attacks 2 times everyday. But I’m attending a psycotherapist friend and he has given me some technics to relax. It works!!!!!! But I add on this lots of prayers…
Friends !’m praying for you all around America. I’m in Brazil but our prayers can touch Jesus’ heart.

Barry,
I do find alot of your messages and suggestions very helpful. It is a blessing to have found you. I recently started drinking nothing but water and yes it is a great deal of help with anxiety. Thank you for all you help and may you please be so kind to keep us informed with more….THANK YOU!!
Raynah
Thanks a lot Barry for this water therapy. I will start this immediately.

Please do everything that Barry suggests and also I’d like to suggest that you change your diet to more vegetarian based and try and get as much dairy out of it as possible (under your doctor’s supervision of course) – [Read “The Pleasure Trap” if you can get your hands on it]…. drink heaps of water… and get as many massages as you can (either by a family member or a professional). I suffered panic attacks which led to full-blown agoraphobia for 24 years and it wasn’t until a local doctor suggested I change my diet that I started to see the light.. After 24 years of hell, I’m now back out driving (albeit locally) but I am now confident that I will be able to completely get my life back. The massages have been instrumental in lowering my anxiety levels and releasing emotions and traumas that I believe my body has held on to. I hope you at least consider giving this a try. As Dr Phil says, “If what you’re doin’ ain’t work’n.. try something new”… What have you got lose? Best of luck.
Jean
Water is now my drink of choice. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your helpful advice. You are providing valuable information to those of us who suffer from panic attacks and anxiety.

I have to admit that I blamed Alcohol for my panic-attacks. During my hangovers, it doesn’t seem that bad at all, at first, but then at the end of the day I realize that I’m developing a Panic-attack times x3! My first panic-attack was related to alcohol withdrawl. There are times when I want to drink a little, but still fear about the fact that my panic attack will come back to haunt me, but that’s okay because I quit drinking because of my panic-attacks… So should I give my panic-attacks it’s credit? lol! I have a question though, Could panic-attacks be developed from a Hangover? Or it’s just all in my head? Oh! and yes, during my hangovers I do tend to be a little jumpy that usual. haha.. I hope to hear back sometime soon. :3

My story goes all the way back to 1974 when I was stationed at a remote northern Canadian Forces Base. I was supposed to be there for 6 months. My wife (now an ex-wife) were not getting along when I left but drew closer as we exchanged mail and the odd radio-telephone call. I was approaching the mid-point of my term and I was quite depressed and I was writing a letter home when a wave of anxiety washed over me. I had never experienced one before and didn’t know what it was. I put the letter aside and went over to the mess and ordered six beer to settle me down. The barman was surprised but gave me the six beer anyway. I started drinking them down one after the other quickly to settle my nerves when another attack came out of the blue. I remember standing up and throwing my beer glass to the floor and stumbling over to the bar. A few of the guys were trying to settle me down and the base doctor was called who took me over to his office. He gave me some valium and told me to take two right away. I soon began to feel better but felt “drugged”. I was told to take the valium at regular intervals but didn’t because I didn’t like the effects so would only take them when I felt what might be an attack coming on. One weekend the doctor suggested I go with him and some other station members to a glacier that was about 10 miles from the base. I was enjoying this outing and everyone was walking to the glacier from our tracked vehicle when out of the blue I had a panic attack. I reached for my valium but didn’t have them with me which made it all the more worse. I told the doctor what had happened and we had to get back to the base right away which we did. My condition worsened to the point where I couldn’t work anymore and was in a constant state of anxiety. The plane had just came in (we got a supply every two weeks) and I was sent to see the base commander. I must have looked a wreck because he picked up the phone and told the doctor I was going back down south right away. The doctor shot me up with something that made walking difficult and I had to be assisted to get on the plane. I was okay on the trip back and was admitted to the hospital right away where I spent the night. The next day I phoned my wife and told her what had happened and was crying on the phone. She was about 3 hours away and said she would be there as soon as possible. She came down and we had a tearful reunion. We went to a motel for the night because by this time it was too late to go back. I took another panic attack in the motel and she called the hospital who told her to bring me back but I was too scared to go outside so someone came from the hospital with some valium and stayed with me until I calmed down. We left the next morning and headed home. I felt protected because I had valium on me. Everything was okay for a while. I was on a months leave. I was still nervous and took the valium when things got bad, not on a regular basis as I was supposed to. One day my wife called me from work and asked if I would like to pick her up and go out for supper. It was another town where she worked. I was on my way into town when I realized I had forgot my valium but I felt good and convinced myself I didn’t need it. I picked her up and we went for supper and it was in the back of my mind all the time that I didn’t have the valium in case something happened. I started to get really nervous and said we had to leave. On the way out of town I took another panic attack, the worse one yet. They seemed to be getting worse each time. I had to pull over and she took over the driving. I said I had to get to the hospital right away. Since I was in the military I thought I should go to the military hospital on the other side of town. It was a very scary ride. I thought I was going to go insane. I couldn’t feel my hands or my feet from all the tingling. They gave me some valium and I stayed until it took affect and then drove home. Now I was convinced I had to have the valium with me all the time. My months leave was up so I had to go back to work but had a hard time concentrating on anything thinking about what happens if I have an attack. What am I going to do. This went on for months until I couldn’t stand it anymore and went to see my psychiatrist who I had been lying to the whole time telling him I was getting better and told him I could not stand it anymore and he admitted me right away where I spent three months but nothing had really changed when I got out. Things did improve a bit but I found I couldn’t travel anywhere anymore out of fear of being out of quick reach of a hospital. The military gave me an option, resign or we’ll chuck you out with nothing. I took the deal they offered. I did end up getting another job but I was still very nervous of getting a panic attack. One thing led to another after a few years and my wife left me for another man. I felt free to not have the family responsibility and went on a three month party with some friends that I hung out with playing darts and drinking. Along the way I met a woman who was a schizophrenic but was medicated. I finally told her my problem and we agreed to stay together to help each other out. She pushed me in little steps to confront my fear and introduced me to down hill skiing. I was scared even to go to the ski hill but found I really enjoyed it once I took some lessons and started skiing. Things were a lot better after that but I only felt safe if I had my pills with me. We ended up marrying. I had been switched from valium to lorazepam which I started taking two a day. I switched jobs again and was enjoying it and things seemed to be better but I still could not travel very far and when we did I did not want to be far from my car. Skiing was helping though and we started taking short trips to other ski hills and things were getting better but the fear of a panic attack was still there and the fear of being without my pills was very strong. I never went anywhere with out them. One thing lead to another and my wife who was a chronic smoker was staying home more and more. I felt lonely and started to feel depressed. I started drinking more. I ended up leaving for another woman and my wife was forced into a nursing home and after a year and a bit died of COPD and emphesema. I lost my job because it was outsourced to India (computer phone support) and took a year off and then had a hard time finding another job. In late 2009 things took a turn for the worse. I started getting really depressed. I started drinking very heavy, like a bottle of rum a day. On January 08th 2010 I decided to end it all and bought some BBQ briquetts and made an improvised BBQ outside and then brought it into a small bathroom. I had that, my booze and my laptop and a folding chair. I was ready to go. I added some more briquettes and lighter fluid (I was pretty much out of it) and tried lighting them and there was a fire ball which almost burned down the bathroom with me in it. I called my wife at work and told her what happened. Thats the last thing I remember until I woke in an emergency room. I was admitted to a phych ward only after my wife threatened them if they released me without treatment I wasn’t going to be allowed back. I am now part of an addictions and mental health group and Alcoholics Anonymous and between the two I am doing okay. I am travelling more now but I still have the pills with me “just in case” and take two pills at bed time along with an anti-depressant in the morning. I have learned a few things over the years. A panic attack will not kill you even though it sure feels that way and the one thing that works for me is to confront your fear and tell yourself that it will be okay. That and being part of this amazing blog is doing wonders. I think I’ll be ordering that book.

dear barry ,
thank you so much for the letter it helps me a lot hope to hear from you more!
Nini
I am so grateful that there is someone like you who has the patience in taking time out of your hectic schedule to listen to us, to understand us and help us…Thanks for the free mini courses that you keep on sending. It is really a great help…It makes me feel that I am understood, I am not alone and that I can really get rid of panic attacks for good…I ended up in tears after viewing to your video for the first time, I felt that finally someone understands how I truly feel during panic attacks…Thank you so much…thank you so much for building my hopes…
Blair
really don’t know where to begin with “this feeling”.it’s been going on 7 monthes now and when my first attack came,it came hard! i was at work in a remote location but with emergency medical personelle on site.this attack just about took me off my feet and was so dizzy and my heart was racing,i thought i was having a heart attack or worse.i have had a few more since but not as bad.i have been to the emergency room a “few” times and now feel that i am wasting their time.i have had 2 x-rays done,3 ekg’s,a ct scan,and 3 complete blood work and still have this feeling.have been prescribed serc,alprazolam,and now lorazapam.time to time i come to this site and feel better reading that some of these people out there have had similar stories.really want to beat this and get on with my life but seeing how people have this for years it discourages me.
Catherine
I can usually get down a bottle of water a day. I’m not a water drinker. I think I’ll start, I know it works for fatigue. I’ve been sober for over 16 years, I remember the hangovers I used to get. YUK! No alcohol no hangovers.
What I like the most is being in control of my thoughts! I didn’t think I had control over them. I’ve been really working on my anxiety and my thinking. I also like your course about gratitude and putting your hand on your heart and being grateful for something, that helps stop my thinking also. It’s a sometimes daily all day long practice but it works. I find I’ve been very sensitive about any of my physical feelings. It’s almost as though I can feel my blood moving through my veins. If I stay busy I don’t feel it.
I’m going to drink all the water I need to today and I’ll report back.
Thanks for helping me. I have hope today.
Aaron
I have had anxiety for a little over a year. at first, I didn’t know what was happening and it was very traumatic. While my experience has not been horrible, and has come in several month periods, it was still getting in the way of things. Thank you, I’ve been practicing your technique for only about 2 or 3 days and am already seeing results. It’s not completely out of the way, and the panic is fighting for it’s life, but I’ll win, thanks to your program 😀
I can now start living again 🙂 Thankyou from the bottom of my heart
Heather Gentry
This one is proven to work; I’m a first hand witness!! I drink water allllllllllll day long and it helps my anxiety and fatigue immensely!!! Also, anything like soda, coffee, or alcohol will make anxiety worse. Hugs to you all!! I know it’s hard, but we will all do it together. There is light at the end of the tunnel. exercise helps too!! Xoxo <3

Sir,
Thanks for your advise that to drink minimum 8 glasses of water a day to say good bye to general anxiety and I have started taking it from today and definitely i am going to reap the benefits out of that. I have been suffering from panic anxiety for the past a decade more severely from 2005. I seldom drink water and for some days I dont drink at all not even a glass of water. Due to my pani anxiety my eye lids are dropped and without the aid of my fingers I can not lift those eyelids besides loosing my good and smooth handwriting. I am sufferring a lot out of this panic anxiety. To my fortune I got you Sir and after following your advises meticulously I would come out of of infirmities and live like a normal man. Any how thanks very much and kindly advise me to come out of panic anixiety completely.
Helen Parkinson
Thank you xx

Does anyone suffer from feelings of disassociation, referred to in the Panic Away book as feelings of depersonaliztion, as I do? If so, I would love to hear from you and how you deal with them These short but scary feelings usually surface in certain situations and I am trying to figure out what technique(s) to use? For me, there are no apparent underlying feelings of anxiety that trigger the feelings which seem to make them a little different from others but I’m not sure?
I also have anxiety and panic attacks everytime I travel a considerable distance (50 miles) away from home. Consequently, I have developed a fear of traveling. Would be interested from hearing from anyone that has this same type of anxiety/fear when traveling that results in a panic attack and how you deal/overcome it? It’s similar to Agrophobia but a little different to clarify.
Joe
I have to admit, I did not see how your aproach would be any different than the books i have read that did not help at all. I certainly see how dehydrated I am and have immediatly started taking your advise on the water uptake.
I look forward to reading more, and when finances allow, I will certainly purchase your program.

Dear Barry,
Thanks for your newsletters.
Hindus worship water from time immemorial. We have a mantra for the water with which we brush our teeth. Then another mantra for taking bath; a different mantra for converting ordinary water into holy water at the time of praying ; one more mantra for the water which we drink during lunch. It is a known fact that blessed water has more radiation than ordinary water. Blessed water is used for house-warming ceremony. If you go to North India, they greet you with a glass of water – whether it is an Office or house.
Personally, what I have found out is that drinking plenty of water not only drives away anxiety but also makes me feel calm.

4 yrs ago i have the symptoms of anxiety but i did’t know what is that. This week i feel something wrong with me. So I went to the clinic & the doctor said I have anxiety / depression. I felt so sad & worried. I found your website & immediately purchased the panic away. I’am now practicing the technique. After practicing I feel I want to vomit, is it normal? My anxiety comes anytime day & night. Worse at night I can’t sleep & the doctor gave XANAX to rest. I have taken 2 tablets already. My appetite also down. I looking forward to be noraml again. THANKS YOU SOOO MUCH

I have suffered from depression/anxiety since i was 13…about 11 years. I had my first panic attack about 6 months ago, I found out my grandpa had cancer, and immediately felt something very strange going on in my body. I was Not okay. I went to the medical clinic, thinking i was dying. My blood pressure was through the roof, my heart was beating so fast, i was shaking, my face was fuzzy and numb, my hands got wierd, felt like they were stuck, almost a paralized feeling, like a pins and needles sensation. I honestly thought i was goingto die. The nurse at the clinic scared me to death and told me to go to the hospital, as he felt i was having a heart attack and that i needed immediate medical attention. I went to the hospital and they asked me if i had been doing cocaine because with all the symptoms i was having, they thought it was drug related….i was sober. So i was at the hospital for 8 hours waiting for my heart rate and blood pressure to go down…when it did, they gave me a prescription for Effexor and Adivan and sent me on my way home. After that i was having panic attacks on a daily basis, and i mean full throttle, paralyzing attacks, once again, backto the doctors…convinced it was not anxiety and that all the doctors were quacks. So it has been months and months of upping my prescription, to the point where i was more drugged up than the junkie down the street…and then i found this website. My life has changed so much in the last 2 weeks and i am so greatful for finding this site. My grandpa actually passed away last week and with all the emotions floating around, i thought foresure i was on my way to the hospital again…instead i read the emails that Barry has been sending me, and actually listened to what he ws saying, and practicing these ways of alleviating anxiety….and have came to the conclusion that this guy knows what he’s talking about. your brain is such an amzing powerful tool, and when you put it to good use, it can do wonders for you. So, Barry i would like to thank you so much for these emails, as they have changed my life, eveyday i get a little bit stronger and seem to be able to dominate the anxiety and panic attacks. Anyone suffering from anxiety needs to know that this works and that you are not alone, after reading peoples comments, i kno that i am not a freak! I am not alone in this fight, so once again, thank you Barry, and thank you to all who respond to his emails, i read them and they truly make a difference. I am getting my life back and am so excited to get anxiety free…

We all just want control of our lives. We are scared of being scared. If someone offered me a million pounds or a cure for my anxiety I would surely take the cure, I have suffered with anxiety for years on and off and didn’t realise that it was anxiety until i got older and read about it. I just remember times when I was younger and I was lost in a shop and panicked cos I couldn’t find my mum and at school I panicked because I thought I was going to die during a chemistry class when I put my pen in my mouth which I had used to mix an experiment (all safe if course) but I ran out that class like a shot.. When I was halfway down the corridor I asked myself where was u going. ? It was only now I’m 35 I fully understand panic attacks and know I cause them with my irrational thoughts. I’m going to try drinking more water but wat works for me us writing down my anxious thoughts and “dealing” with them later. It’s a way if clearing my head and later when I read them ( if u can be bothered ) they seem mixed up and list of questioning that don’t make sense. I’ve learned to realise that we Can’t stop our anxious thoughts no matter how hard we try EVERYBODY gets them it’s how you deal with them that determines whether u get anxious or not. U always acknowledge my thoughts as “anxious ” ones and then try to let them go. If they persist I write them down and look at them later . This stops the fuzzy head, stress and unablevto concentrate. If I can answer the thought with 3 more rational thoughts I feel better . It works for me and I always push myself to go out everyday instead of staying in analysing thoughts. Knowing MY BODY will NOT kill itself helps me reduce my fear when I ask fir a panic attack to get worse- I call my anxiety Annie and tell het she can come with me anytime but if she gets too loud – I will listen for 20 secs then she needs to be quiet cos I dong need her help.
Jayne
I fear being too far from home incase I get panicky feelings and also hate being alone at night incase I have a panic attack alone. However with yr 20 sec technique I feel safer and am trying to drink more water to see if that helps. I didn’t realise there were so many people Like me with anxiety but it has helped me understand this is not an illness or a disease . It’s a basic Human survival technique that we need to help us fight or run it’s just took me 25 years to realise these feelings are there to protect me not harm me I just need to learn that thinking negatively or worrying triggers this “help” and if you don’t tell it to go away it’s not needed it will keep pestering you until you either control it to ease off or fear it. But it will not harm or kill you no matter how scary it feels. !! I know literally wat to do but when yr an anxious person it takes time and bravery to confront yr own “method of attack ” and each panic attack we subside is a victory to controlling it- that’s how u look at it and wat I’m working on x
Jim
OMG the hang over thing is spot on. My worst Panic Attacks all happened when I was hung over. Water, wow world class amazing idea.
Thank You,

Alaina Cook
I could not agree with you more about water. I try to drink as much a day as I possibly can and I notice it makes me feel better. I am a smoker also and get anxious at certain points of the day. I have found that everytime I take a sip of water when I have the anxious craving for a cigarette, it calms the feeling. It also helps with headaches I get in the middle of the day while at work. I have been wiening myself off of coffee, sodas and tea and trying to replace them all with water. It is not easy let me tell you. It also helps me with my appetite. When I feel anxious, I do not want to eat or I will eat excessively. It curbs that feeling either way and helps me stay calm. Oh and hangovers… haha… the first thing I do is binge on water. Sometimes it feels as if it reactivates my drunkeness from the night before.. But It definately helps with the headache.
Thank you for all your help and encouragement.
Nejra,

pamela
Regarding hydration: must it be pure water or can it be taken as herb tea? At present I drink no water as such, and not even enough fluid as herb tea, so increasing my fluid intake is definitely something I can try.

Barry,
I found your site while I was having a panic attack. I am 54 years old and have been suffering with this since my early 20’s. So far the e-mails I have received seem to calm me down a bit. I am going to purchase your program as soon as possible ( $ thing ) I can’t wait. Thanks for the self help tips.

I get extremely anxious when I am thirsty, hungry or both. this is so hard to live with. when i lose track of everything, i hate life and living all the time. I think my depression is a fear of all things depressing, fear of a depressing abyss, infinite emptiness, infinite darkness, infinite loneliness. things I can’t do anything about. today, i tried something new when i heard a agonizing depressing song on the radio… i thought, so what? what could possibly be past this abyss? why should I feel such deep sadness, then the depression halted. it was weird. i just sang along, and remembered a time when singing this song was so normal and happy. helped me realize that life doesn’t make sense without death, death must occur for life to make sense as it did before. I need to stop fearing the horrible depression, the horrible pain of fearing life more than death. eating and drinking fluids regularly definitely helps.

I wanted to say that these tips you are sharing , are indeed very useful and have helped me see these sensations on a different perspective ! i keep them in mind whenever i feel nervous. The most important thing to remember (of all i think) is to feel strong because we’ve got people who love us, no matter what.. so if this thing has to go away, let’s make it happen Now, what to wait for..!
Thank you again..

i found your tips on anxiety and panic attacks very welcoming. moving into the den of anxiety is a great way of dealing with it. also i tell anxiety or panic that it can’t get any worse and this has helped me to stop worrying and to overcome fear. the tip about water makes a lot of sense judging from my experience before this tip. i am definitely going to adopt the habbit of drinking a glass of water at 2.00 am to check the dawn anxieties i have been getting.God richly bless you.

The reason I found this site is because I noticed that every time I drink water I feel no anxiety. So I googled it and surely enough water does make you feel better! I now make sure I have at least 8 glasses a day.

Drinking more water and avoiding coffee have healed me from anxiety almost completely and I know in the future there will be days when I won’t even think about it at all!
