This Always Helps Me...
Well when im stressed I always go to my cats. Pets can really reduce stress and its been proven! If you do not have a pet I suggest going into a dark cool room and lay down, relax. If thats not working, try a aroma bath with a lavender scent. It also may depend on what caused the stress in order to find a treatment, like if its stress on your eyes and you have head aches with ringing in your ears, try to not watch tv or listen to music up loud, stay out of the heat and sun. I hope this helps... Good luck!

That all sounds good but you can't do any of it while you are at work or doing the food shopping etc.

I tell an attack to try as hard is it want because I will not let it stop me from doing my every day living. It is very hard but always think that it hasn't hurt you before so it won't hurt you now.
Hop and help for you nerves by clarie weeks helped me more then anything so I suggest to all to get hold of this book

I think about things that calm me down, like how my boyfriend loves me. I also think about the facts that directly contradict whtever it is that is worrying me. I focus on those facts especially when the fears start yelling in my brain the few nearly impossible sets of events necessary to cause the worst possible situation. I just focus on solid facts that prove i'm safe, etc.

Also, if i'm already freaking out, singing a set of lullabies, singing the alphabet, counting, or singing as many songs as I know in my head can often help. A last thing that helps is to imagine myself in fantasy situations, like an episode on star trek, dressed up hanging out at conventions, etc. Situations that haven't hapened yet, or (like the star trek episode) can't happen. These things help me fall asleep at night, and relax during the day.

If i'm at work, then I can easily distract myself with whatever it is i'm doing; and during the day I can normally distract myself with things.
