How do 你 handle anxiety?

Good question.
(I have ‘Generalized Anxiety’. I’m not sure if you’re asking about actual diagnostics 或者 the common ‘nervous feeling’ sort of thing.)

^I can become anxious for no apparent reason, in any situation, at anytime.

I’m learning how to manage this better all the time, and best of all, not 显示 that I’m internally suffocating. I am unable to take medication,(because it could interfere with the meds I’m already on, and I hate a disoriented feeling.) though I know that if you’re having problems, it can be very effective, 你 should see if it works for you. (Please don’t self-diagnose)
I use this thing called “Box breathing” and it really helps. The thing is to practice it so 你 can use it in a anxiety situation. Basically 你 imagine a rectangle, 或者 look at something rectangle, that helps too. 你 start at the bottom left corner and empty your lungs completely and quickly for 5 秒 until 你 ‘reach’ the 最佳, 返回页首 left corner. Then 你 inhale all the way (make sure 你 when 你 breathe your chest expands) till 你 get to the 最佳, 返回页首 right corner. Hold your breathe for another 5 秒 until 你 get to the bottom right corner, exhale. Repeat until 你 feel a difference.
Play a song in your head.
Find something to mess w/ (I always twiddle pens and pencils and flip them over my finger)
‘Chair-pull ups’: when 你 are sittin* down, feet on the floor, put your arms on the chair edge, and push yourself up. It helps some people.
交叉, 十字架 your writs over your chest and make 蝴蝶 motions. (You look weird but it works)
Draw.
(Rubber Band, but also for other reasons)


That’s some of the things I do.

I try to take a moment to regroup and understand why I'm feeling anxious and try to fix whatever is making me anxious 或者 resolve my feelings about it.
If I'm really anxious I escape into a comfy place in my brain as much as I can.

That being 说 I'm still not very good at coping with anxiety but I'm getting better.

音乐 and writing.

With a knife, usually

1.Cats

2. Drugs.

Usualy, I don't haha (I have generalized anxiety)
But something that can help is cardiac coerence, it's a breathing exercise that helps calm down. I usualy do it when I wake up, around midday, and during the afternoon, it can help. 你 can find it easily on youtube.
Also, music, 图书 and things like that

This is where stimming would come in. That 或者 I stare at Nick Wilde, 或者 listen to music. 或者 watch as much youtobe as I want, because youtobe is life.

very poorly
