Struggling with Codependency to Calm My Anxiety

I noticed I am very codependent when it comes to calming my anxiety and OCD down... Im struggling to find ways to do it on my own. Any suggestions?

I think as a society we've gotten really self reliant. I think it's okay to have other people help you. Just be sure you're removing any guilt from yourself from appreciating your fellow human's help. If in a case where you can't get help from anyone, it's just not possible; what self soothing coping mechanisms have you tried?

I've tried to just play games on my phone or try and play a videogame. I even try to read or calm my breathing. Sometimes it helps but the thoughts and emotions r still there
