Gaining Control Over My Anxiety
- Location: Torrance,
I had a massive panic attack that came out of nowhere about 2 years ago during Covid. I had no prior history of any conditions related to this. I received professional help and did a lot of research to help understand my anxiety. I recognize my triggers and have adjusted my lifestyle to maintain work-life balance. During work, I take time to go outside and walk briskly around the outside of the hospital. Not only does this healthy habit calm my nerves I also get my steps in! I have also recruited other coworkers to join me in my quick walks and they love it. With my new coping skills I have been medication free for over a year which was my initial goal.
