I stick to the basics when I'm feeling like that: deep breathing and meditation. If you are religious, try praying, for example I've seen people saying that it really connects them to their inner self, which calms them down.

Breathing exercises work great for me and taking a step back from the situation. It can be hard in the moment, but in the end, it makes the anxiety attack a little shorter.

I have found mindfulness meditation very helpful for me in the past. It helps to relax your mind and your body and to focus on being in the moment and not thinking about the future or the past. You can start by simply meditating, sitting in a quiet room, feet flat on the floor, hands in your lap and you eye closed and just focus on your breathing and the way your body feels. Focus on how seperate parts of your body feel. If this isn't working for you try focusing back on your breath. This is only 1 technique and i'm sure if you even google or youtube, there will be materials that can help you get through the meditation. I hope this helps you, as it has helped me in the past many times.

I find counting coins, or other low-intensity, repetitive tasks help calm me down, I used to fold towels and clothes in the middle of the night when my anxiety would keep me awake.

You can try taking deep breaths, in and out, try using a stress ball and letting all your nerves flow into that or listen to some calming music, write, read or anything else you like to do that can take your mind off it.

1. Belly breathing. Lie down or sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Inhale to the count of 3, letting the diaphragm expand away from your body. Exhale to the count of 3, letting the diaphragm move back to your body. Do this a few times, then check in with how you are feeling. 2. Body scan. Lie down or sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Start from the feet and work up. Focus on your feet. Become aware of how they feel. Stay with your feet while you take a deep breath, and slowly release that breath. Move on to the calves and do the same thing. When you reach your back and shoulders, notice any tension there. On the exhale, see if you can release the tension. Finish with the head. Take your time. Then check in with how you are feeling. Please notice that these exercises are designed to keep you focused in the present moment. Very often, anxiety involves a fear about the future. Research has shown that over 90% of our fears about the future never happen!

I clean my room and successfully do household chores during my free time. I also make sure I get enough sleep and write down my thoughts.

Running is a great way to overcome anxiety. Running is often related to a runner's high where the prolonged exercise releases dopamines and lowers blood pressure.

Yes, lay down on the bed with no pillows and breathe deeply to the count of 4 and exhale to the count of 6, this helps in oxygenating your brain

there are plenty of breathing exercises which you can use to help lower your heart rate and calm youself down. one i i use whenever i am feeling anxious about something is to breathe deeply in for about 4 or 5 seconds, then hold that breathe for a few seconds, then exhale slowly, and wait for a few more seconds before breathing in again

Something known as "Triangle Breathing" really helps me. It's where you try to just focus on your breathing so you calm yourself down and then can assess the situation properly. You want to breathe in on a 3 second count, hold your breath for a 3 second count, then exhale on a 3 second count and repeat until you feel a bit better. Practicing this technique while in a tranquil environment or situation is key though, for it wont work if you don't.
