Hello @rithika0101
First of all, I am sorry to hear of your experience.
Many anxiety sufferers may experience triggering. There are different coping styles. Some people try to journal, some people use journaling as a way to discover more about what kind of messages the triggers are trying to convey to them if the anxiety is at a manageable level. Other people try to self care and feel it's more appropriate to try some grounding skills and soothing techniques. This can be a range of resources that bring you meaning. Some people may meditate along to a calm and relaxing voice talkdown and go for walks and try some skills where the five senses are engaged. It is totally upto you. Art therapy is also a wonderful option to help relieve some calm and work through the moment until the anxiety waves pass.
