It’s gift time again and I’m on a budget, not to mention that in my opinion most of my family and friends already have everything they need. So I’m going to be giving adult coloring books as gifts and I have a great list of different types of books that might interest you if you’re considering doing the same.
I know you’re probably thinking that coloring in a silly adult coloring book is the last thing you would consider to help you ease your symptoms of anxiety. Especially if you’re fighting off panic attacks as well, coloring probably seems childish at best.

It’s incredible how many people are on medication for anxiety these days. In many cases, it is a solid decision to turn to medication. It can have powerful and fast results to help ease the symptoms so many people face. Medication should, however, be a last resort rather than a first resort.
