-Go to a licensed therapist. Sometimes you will have to go to a few different ones before you find a good one.
-Practice breathing exercises.
-Journal for thirty minutes every day. I love writing out my thoughts, and it is good for my brain.
-Use weighted blankets.
-Use coloring books to help with anxiety.
-Allow yourself to take breaks or leave the situation in moments when you are uncomfortable.
-Sour candies help with panic attacks.
-Holding ice cubes or cold drinks when you are anxious helps as well.
-Chew gum if you’re struggling with social anxiety or anxiety when you’re driving.
-Remind yourself that you are safe and use grounding techniques to help you when you start to feel anxious.
-Confide in your loved ones and friends about your struggles. I feel so much better when I can talk to my friends about what’s going on and enjoy laughing over other things.
-Take good care of your body and be mindful of your diet, exercise, social interaction, etc.
-Set boundaries with others and learn to be ok with taking time for yourself or saying no.
-Exercise several times a week. I like to run every other day or just take walks. I know sweating is good for my body because it’s letting my mind know I’m ok.
