Good question.
(I have ‘Generalized Anxiety’. I’m not sure if you’re asking about actual diagnostics ou 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 montrer 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, toi 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 toi can use it in a anxiety situation. Basically toi imagine a rectangle, ou look at something rectangle, that helps too. toi start at the bottom left corner and empty your lungs completely and quickly for 5 secondes until toi ‘reach’ the haut, retour au début left corner. Then toi inhale all the way (make sure toi when toi breathe your chest expands) till toi get to the haut, retour au début right corner. Hold your breathe for another 5 secondes until toi get to the bottom right corner, exhale. Repeat until toi 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 toi are sittin* down, feet on the floor, put your arms on the chair edge, and push yourself up. It helps some people.
traverser, croix your writs over your chest and make papillon motions. (You look weird but it works)
Draw.
(Rubber Band, but also for other reasons)
That’s some of the things I do.
