Hey Pandas, What Are Your Go-To Tips For Managing Anxiety? (Closed)

Put a pillow too my face & scream for 3-5minutes. Sometimes its better than a massage.

Hey Pandas, What Are Your Go-To Tips For Managing Anxiety?

As a student of psychology, I can add this tip: Bounce a ball against a wall, or do some juggling (or something similar which involves the use of quick reflexes and/or eye-to hand coördination). The human mind can't handle 'planning' (which anxiety is a derailed version of) and quick action responses at the same time, and it gives precedence to the quick action part. This gives your chemical regulation system the time to reset.

A simple thing that always helps is cleaning my apartment. Just quickly washing the dishes, putting away clothes and random stuff - little things like that. Not a cure for anxiety, but I always feel calmer and more collected in a nice environment.
