What is the best comforting self treatment for anxiety without any drug use?
My mom was vomiting 3 days ago. When she vomits, the foods stuck up in her throats and in her nose, having her difficulty to breath. She cant really breath and then she get panic. Thank God we revive her and get her back to normal. But since then, her coughing makes it difficulty because her left side of the her body hurts everytime she cough. The last night she woke me up because her whole body is trembling. She told me she is not feeling good. She said, her heart is so heavy, that she cant understand what shes feeling. She wants to cry as much as she could. She said she wants to shout cause she feel hear heart is bursting. But she cant. Maybe she just miss my dad now that he’s gone. Do you think this is anxiety? If it is, whats the best comforting things i need to do to my mom without the help of drugs? Help pls!
This does not sound like anxiety alone, it sounds potentially medical. Get her to a doctor.

Take her to the ER. It sounds like she has aspirated some of her stomach contents.

Your mom really needs to see a doctor for a complete check-up. If she is only having anxiety or panic attacks then she need to learn to relax through deep breathing and other methods. Most large towns have Relaxation Clinics that her doctor can recommend and give her a referal. In Toronto is the Dorothy Madgett Clinic and I believe it cost $35 for initial payment and the rest covered by OHIP. There are also grievance groups for people who have lost a love one. Perhaps you should check into somthing like that which will allow her to meet other people who have lost a loved one. Good luck..

I’m not sure why you are opposed to drugs but it seems to me that your story goes way beyond her getting sick. However is she has something physically going on it to can trigger symptoms. Often anxiety is a symptom of a much bigger problem. If she’s coping with the loss of relationship it can lead to depression combined with anxiety. Getting her to talk about the real reason why she’s feeling bad might help her realize she needs help. Tell her how concerned you are and that you want to help but don’t know how to. She needs to go be seen by someone on the outside who can provide her with the help she needs. First step should be her physician to rule out any physical problems. The longer you leave a problem untreated the worse it can be. Comforting is a wonderful gift to give someone but it also can be enabling. The best way to help someone is just be honest about what you see and tell her you are willing to with her if she needs you but she needs to do something or she won’t feel better.

Make yourself busy, do something. By doing anything you keep your mind off your anxiety. When you wake up in the morning start doing something right away, and keep busy all day. Cleaning the house, washing the dishes or working in your garden, reading, studying, exercising your body or and meditating can help you keep your mind away from anxiety. Just sitting around and thinking about your problems and worries won’t make them go away.
Find reasons to laugh. This will bring light and happiness into your life and drive anxiety away. Watch comedies, be with happy and amusing friends or read something that makes you laugh.
Exercise regularly. People who have anxiety often quit exercising, but exercise can give you a sense of well-being and help decrease your stress.
Avoid caffeine, a stimulant found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, and chocolate. Caffeine may increase your sense of anxiety. Also avoid over-the-counter diet pills and supplements that contain ephedra (Ma huang) and other stimulants.
Control your worry. Pick a place and time to do your worrying. Make it the same time and same place every day. Spend 30 minutes thinking about your concerns and what you can do about them. Try not to dwell on what "might" happen. Focus more on what’s really happening.Thought stopping is a skill that requires commitment and practice, practice, practice. Here are some quick tips to help you begin to control your thoughts:
Words and Phrases
» Stop!
» I can cope.
» I am okay.
» I have done it before, I can do it again.
» Okay, just slow down. You will be alright. You are going to be okay.
» This will pass – give it time.
» Just relax.
» I can accept this – it is unpleasant, not dangerous.
Actions
» Talk to someone.
» Breathe deep and slowly.
» Carry a lucky charm – touch it.
» Visualize a peaceful scene.
» Focus on external happenings – the wind, the sun, birds, noises.
» Sit down. Touch the earth. Touch a tree.
» Look at the ants working.
» Turn up the radio. Sing out loud. Hum a tune.
» Perform physical work.
Get plenty of sleep. Don’t rely on alcohol or drugs. It may seem that alcohol or drugs relax you, but in the long run, they worsen anxiety and depression.
When you go to bed at night, and first thing when you wake up in the morning, think about the good things that are happening to you. There are always some good things happening, even if small and insignificant.
Talk about your anxieties to someone you trust. Talking about your anxieties and feelings often alleviate them and put them in the right proportions, provided you talk objectively, and with a real desire to reduce or get rid of your anxiety.
Talk about your anxiety with your doctor. This is important so your doctor can make sure your plan is working. You may also need to see a counselor. Counseling can help you learn to express your needs and cope with your feelings. Support groups can also be helpful, both during counseling and to bolster your sense of security afterwards.
