Hi Renstar,I suffer from Anxiety, i have for the last 4 years.I find that there is no magic way to turn it off for me, but each and every person is different.
My anxiety got that bad it started to control my life the things i did or more to the point the things i could NOT do with out having a anxiety attack.I do have several things i do to try and calm myself down, heartrate breathing.I sit down somewhere weather it be on chair,floor ect.I place my arms out hand place them on my legs, so that my hands are hanging over my knees ( i hope thi is making sense) and i take slow deep breaths in through my nose and out through my mouth, once my heart rate calms down and i dont feel like i am choking inside anymore, i then ususally move on and do something to keep my mind active/busy.
I think you should certainly talk to your herbalist about this, is there somewhere you could make a note of this, maybe a reminder on your mobile phone could go off, whilst you are in your appointment with her next and that way you wont forget?

Goodluck with it, Anxiety is a horriable thing to live with but can be less resticting if you seek help with it :hugs:
