I don’t do this often but if I am having a particularly awful day with my anxiety, and I have that terrible panic feeling in my chest, I will hit or smack my chest in the middle, where I feel the anxiety.

This tends to relieve the anxious/panic feeling. Sort of like a “snap out of it!” And then I can sort of rationalize.

I think last year I did it maybe twice, I just did it now because I could not get over this sense of catastrophizing everything.

Anyone else do this? Any advice?
