What do you do when you feel anxious?

[Feraligator]

If I'm anxious, I have no way to stop it. I'll panic, feel stressed, feel sweaty, and stuff like that...and I'm always anxious when having to leave the house. Not the most pleasant thing to have. I need to be put back on meds after lockdown happened I think

Thanks to the medication I’m taking I only feel anxious occasionally now. When it does arise however, I typically take a brisk walk. The chemical balancing that happens during the workout keeps the stress from permeating. Some people find violent video games helpful, but I’m the opposite. If I’m not in the mood to take a brisk walk I tend to boot up a light game instead. Games that fall in that category are usually farming simulators or life simulators like Harvest Moon or Slime Rancher. The repetitive nature of those games allow me to go into a trance-like state until I calm down.

omg i'm so bad at controlling my anxiety but thankfully i havent been in any situations in about a year where i've had to feel anxious. i typically sleep through it... if i can. sometimes its bad and CANT sleep through it. i have to distract myself with SOMETHING. talking to someone, watching something on youtube, listening to birds outside. anything to make me feel grounded and alive.

I just keep busy, or try to work on intensive projects. It will usually keep me distracted enough that it'll keep my mind off other things and then make me tired so I can get a good sleep.

Hibernate for a few days or count numbers in my head. Depends on the anxiety level.

I mainly listen to music, play video games and have a Twitch streamer on so I feel like I have company. Talking with my family also helps a lot when my anxiety is too much to deal with alone.
