physical symptoms
i hate how the physical symptoms of anxiety just make the mental part 10x worse.. does anyone have any tips for alleviating the physical aspect?? (sweating, shaking, etc.) If anyone had had any sort of success with treating the physical symptoms i would love to hear what you have tried

Physical symptoms do feel irritating, and it does make people more anxious. Shout out loud 3 times "YES" usually works for me while I feel nervous before giving a big speech. I guess that makes my body confused, and could not tell my racing heartbeat is from my excitement or anxiety. There are also some ways that 7 cups recommend to use to ease physical symptoms such as Progressive Muscle Relaxation and Diaphragmatic Breathing. Wish these works for you too.

I'm also struggling with this, and while I don't have any tips for when it gets really bad I've found that I don't shake as much when I chew on something, like a gum. It's almost like I can't be anxious and eat at the same time, but for me it only works at the start of a fit of anxiety.
