Welcome to the group, as you read through posts over time you'll find a lot of good coping skills that others have used.For me walking 20 to 30 min a day helps. They're also some good teas like chamomile and sleepy times tension tamer. And music.

Hey There! I've struggled with anxiety for years and some things helped it. Like I've tried therapy that can work, medications can definitely help balance out the anxiety, it all depends on finding the right meds that help you. Music and Exercise.

read the book DARE to get started. Deep breathing, meditation every night before bed, exercise everyday, cut down on sugars, caffeine… try to stay lower in carbs, a good complex B vitamin, Vit D with K, Magnesium. Listen to The Anxiety Guy podcasts, etc… I also will ground myself if ever needed- by smelling peppermint essential oil or vicks. Good luck!
