My mother is having an anxiety attack. She can’t sit, she’s very irratic and nervous. She may be withdrawing from lithium and we’re currently waiting to hear from her shrink but I don’t know how to calm her down right now. Any ideas?

i wish i knew… time is the only thing that makes my anxiety attacks go away… also try to distract her… anxiety attacks can come because the person is foucusing on a really uncomfortable emotion on memory or stress … so try to distract her by turning on mindless reality tv… that usually gets me to relax… you kind of have to trick your mind and make it focus on something else… good luck
