REALLY USEFUL!

I almost forgot to reccommend this!

This I have found absolutely amazing on nights I want to chill out or feel dis-heartened.
I cant recommend this enough!

'Relief from Anxiety - A Guided Visualisation' from The Honest Guys.

 Brilliant if you're feeling slightly worried and need to regulate your breathing.

 I find the videos from them absolutely fantastic!

Breathing in for 3 and out for 6 is also really good.

Drink Responsibly

Hello all,

Well the other night I indulged in one too many glasses of wine. I was celebrating with family and ended up mixing Red and White wine. The next day I was absolutely crippled with anxiety. I still went out shopping around town but I felt the all too familiar symptoms of terror, adrenaline and worries I hadnt thought for awhile.
This time I was much more equipped to deal with the situation and just kept telling myself that this is a symptom of having a hangover and didn't try to 'escape'. I must admit it did make me cry though and its not something I will be doing again!
This situation has made me reflect on other times I have been anxious and Im slowly connecting the dots.
Although Im unsure If i was drinking around the time of my first ever panic attack, I know I was drinking the night before I had a panic with my friends while going through Macdonalds drive thru, Ive also panicked after heavy drinking for a friend's birthday whilst going onto the motorway.
On this basis, as I said before, I will definitely be steering clear of excessive drinking and stick to one or two glasses! 
Im feeling better today and shant let this get in the way of my progress!!

Lots of Love!
