[QUOTE="Andy, post: 437609, member: 5096"] Did you add getting enough sleep to your long list? Hard for moms to get enough sleep but gotta try. When you are doing all the right things and are still struggling, it may be time for the medications. If you are prone to panic attacks, atleast get a PRN for those situations. When my son was dealing with his extreme anxiety, he had a list of "tools" to use to help get through. Breathing exercises, journaling, changing the activity. He used a stress reliever throughout the day to lessen those moments. difficult child is on anti-anxiety medications and people who did not know him three years ago have no clue of the nightmares he went through fighting the anxiety. He is doing awesome. However, on the rare occasions that he forgets to take his daily medications, I can see him starting to slip back to the anxiety state. As for non-medication remedies, the physical exercise, eating well, and getting enough sleep are the foundations. Add lots of relaxation methods (breathing exercises and such) and continue to do the things you are all ready doing. Research Vitamin D. difficult child takes it and I thought it was suggested by his neurologist for migrane prevention but I think his psychiatrist suggested it at one time also. [/QUOTE]
