One method suggested is exposure therapy, where you gradually expose yourself to the situation that causes anxiety in small steps. Another suggestion is to make yourself feel as safe and comfortable as possible when out in public, such as wearing comfortable clothes or bringing items from home like chapstick, water, something to fidget with, headphones, a sketchbook, etc. Taking breaks when needed, like sitting in the bathroom for a few minutes to take deep breaths and have a moment alone, can also help. Additionally, repeating a calming mantra in your head may be beneficial.
