I take "Sport" tablets from Mannatech. Yes, I know when I am about to have an anxiety attack and take one or two. I then look back at what I have worried about that I could not change and stop it.

If I am worried about one of the children or grandchildren, instead of figuring out the problem, I try to stop and ask the Lord. Help.

People around us can create stress, if we let them. (Except if you are a child in a home that lives that way) I try to tell myself stop. Stay calm and take a deep breath. I find sometimes when I am upset, I don't breath deep. It is really about staying out of fear. Fear of making someone mad - fear maybe of not getting somewhere on time - Fear of future - just too much of that. Have to say stop.

grandmaflorist, you referred to sports tablets, what exactly are those? and "when you try to figure things out for yourself" creates anxiety, can you expound on that? do you feel that we should go with the flow, in the moment and trust God/Spirit etc to guide us...? with anxiety etc though, it seems to me that situational anxiety (say when another human is not treating you in a fair manner) can just create the stress against your will....how??
