How do anda handle anxiety?

Good question.
(I have ‘Generalized Anxiety’. I’m not sure if you’re asking about actual diagnostics atau 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 tampil 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, anda 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 anda can use it in a anxiety situation. Basically anda imagine a rectangle, atau look at something rectangle, that helps too. anda start at the bottom left corner and empty your lungs completely and quickly for 5 detik until anda ‘reach’ the puncak, atas left corner. Then anda inhale all the way (make sure anda when anda breathe your chest expands) till anda get to the puncak, atas right corner. Hold your breathe for another 5 detik until anda get to the bottom right corner, exhale. Repeat until anda 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 anda are sittin* down, feet on the floor, put your arms on the chair edge, and push yourself up. It helps some people.
menyeberang, salib your writs over your chest and make kupu-kupu 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 atau 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 berkata I'm still not very good at coping with anxiety but I'm getting better.

musik 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. anda can find it easily on youtube.
Also, music, buku and things like that

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

very poorly
