One thing that helps me manage my anxiety is.....
Watching a comedy tv show to get my mind off things and to calm down and get in a better mood.
Trying to think positively and drowning out the negative thoughts
breathing and telling myself "if i do not want to do it, i do not need to do it"
using a fidget toy
@Rainiila Does that really help? How do you think it helps you best?
Am I the only one that can say alcohol helps?
I have up last month from all the advice of do gooders, and never felt so poo.
couple of glasses of wine, and I no longer care about all the crap in my head.
@yellowScarf5963 alcohol helped me too lol. Great medicine. However, I noticed that in the long term it make me more depressed and anxious. After the merry days, darker days would come. I would also need alcohol before any social event or whenever I am anxious to calm me down. So I started to consume less of it, only when I need a quick fix in a situation and have nothing else that would help. Otherway I found meditation also to be really helpful and without harmful side effects.
Is admitting that I'm having anxiety and rooting out the why. Sometimes it helps other time it turns into a full blown attack...
@SnacksPack Same here. I'm interested in psychology so my anxiety scares and fascinates me at the same time. Although trying to be your own therapist doesn't work in every situation. I probably need a professional psychologist/therapist to help me figure out how to relax my anixety at least a little
Meditation.
Praying.
Listening to music, whether it be upbeat pop tunes or oldie
@CinnamonRoll10

Listening to classical music in particular takes my mind off of everything going on in my head and the tension in my stomach.
