[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 146315"] The SSRI antidepressants won't give her a high and they help with anxiety. However, you can't just quit them cold turkey or the withdrawal will just knock her on her hiney. She needs to work on self-awareness. Noticing when she feels the anxiety coming on. And work on self-soothing, relaxation, calming techniques. She can probably find some good guided relaxation CD's at the book store to help get her started. With practice, she'll hopefully be able to those techniques on her own when she's feeling anxious or overwhelmed. I also know of some people that wear a rubber band on their wrist and when they start to feel overcome by anxiety, they snap it and it helps to calm them...bring them back to earth, I guess. It never worked for me. Excercise will be good. All that anxiety causes pent up energy and it will help her to get it out. [/QUOTE]
