I need help.
So, something happened today. At about 2:30 in the morning, I heard a thud from upstairs, and I thought it was my mom falling. She’s almost 60, and she’s had a lot of stress on her lately. Her friend died a couple days ago, my grandpa (her dad) died last June, and my dad died almost five years ago. I was absolutely freaked out when I heard the bang, but when I went upstairs, she was fine and hadn’t heard the thud. I made sure she was okay and when I went back downstairs, I started crying and I had a panic attack. I’ve been in different types of therapy my entire life because I’ve always struggled with anxiety and panic attacks, but it just doesn’t seem to help.
In conclusion, I need help with coping with my anxiety. I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Actually learned this neat little trick from a friend but when you feel the anxiety attack coming on put a 1/4 teaspoon of salt into your mouth. Idk what makes it work but it does. 🤷🏻♀️ But other things that can help with anxiety are breathing, practicing mindfulness, meditation, yoga, listening to music, and other
