Can a person do that without medication? I have anxiety about things, but I don’t want to get on medication. How can I control it myself? Sometimes I get mild anxiety attacks where I can’t catch my breath. I don’t always hyperventillate, but I do get that feeling that I can’t catch my breath. or can’t take a deep breath. Any comments or advice?

I already know about exercise and anti-anxiety meds. I’ll consider all that stuff in due time. My mom suggested that I should eat flax seeds. The problem I have with that is that I have no way of knowing whether they are safe to eat. If you are going to suggest that I take some people, please ensure that it is “China free,” so to speak.

My beagle has severe separation anxiety. I cannot leave him alone without him howling nonstop for hours. It causes me stress because I feel like I spend as much time as can with him, but I have a life and have to be away from him sometimes for work and school. I am reluctant to get another dog as many people say because I don’t want to risk doubling my problems. What are some good ways to help cure him of separation anxiety, or at leas keep him from howling so frantically?
I really need help.
