What are some relaxation techniques for Generalized Anxiety Disorder?
I recently found out this is something I have and I want to figure out ways to unwind and have fun with out drinking. I know meditation will be a good thing….but its not exactly social.

    for my anxiety i find that anything that will entertain your mind for a period of time will help as long as you can keep yourself as focused as possible on whatever your doing, not a permanent fix but it helps to get through a day

    kudos for not looking for alcohol as an escape

    You may find exercise helpful. Any activity that stimulates your body’s dopamine response, like touching people or pets you love frequently and for a good length of time in each case, systematically clenching and unclenching the various muscle groups of your body…yoga can be nice and quietly social…meditation, too. Think about doing it with other people. Have ***. Dance. Let your mind stray to strange places, and confront your fears from odd angles.
