I make a big thing of preparation and routines when I’m extremely anxious. Plan everything meticulously and prevent rushing or taking on anything new..it also helps keep me distracted and saves me from myself.

I have PTSD as well but I Just go for it no matter how I feel. It's the Battlefield. Life already push me to suffering long enough I don't care anymore how I feel. Just keep pushing through

I'm sorry. My anxiety has never been that bad that I wouldn't go to a scheduled appointment but I often put off important things that require taking my own initiative just so I avoid or delay anxiety attacks that will follow once I commit. I still don't know how to deal with it. Sometimes valeriana extract pills have a calming effect but in past, if I really had to deal with something important and had to suppress the physical symptoms of anxiety fast, I took a benzo pill.

Hugs. I completely understand. Anxiety has me pinned down most days. My one tactic is to try to do one thing each day. One phone call/appointment or whatever so that I am still accomplishing my goals without trying to put everything on me all at once. I try to slow things way down otherwise I will just hide and cry the day away.
