I think of a memory that makes me happy 😁!

I use to smoke thc cbd it helps alot

I watch something funny or word searches.

Drinking ice cold water or holding an ice pack to my chest helps significantly. A lot of the typical self-care advice I see just doesn’t work on my severe anxiety. Are using tips from the poly vagal theory to restart my nervous system is definitely what I’d recommend

Breathe, grounding, and if it’s an 11 on a 1-10 scale then I go to my meds.

Whenever my nerves get too bad I smoke a cigarette. I'm not a smoker but it does help.

I like to take a walk or color

I eat edibles and sometimes just sit and breathe.

Play an intense, immediately rewarding game and listen to songs that make my adhd vibe. I expend a lot of energy that way and I get my dopamine fix which usually helps the anxiety melt.

Cry, be irritable, and avoid things by watching TV. It’s not the Healy response, but it’s what I do

Here’s another vote for taking a walk!

Schedule a time to face what you’re anxious about later, then ideally I go make and drink a cup of tea. Or furiously write down my anxiety thoughts. Or pace around or sprint somewhere. Or go hide under the bed or in a closet. Honestly there’s so many different kinds of anxiety!

Cry, listen to music, and read to distract myself.

Sodoku, my brain can't do anything else

I listen to music, read, and clean when my anxiety gets high. Anything to distract me.

(Sometimes) exercise helps. And I'm not talking about like 15 crunches or whatever. If it's available to you that you have some walking path like a park or safe streets in your neighborhood to let that trapped energy out it's a good idea to walk or jog for 30 minutes. Or anything that makes you feel productive. When I didn't have a walking path to me, my anxiety and depression would build up so I would anxiety clean my house. It used up that energy into something productive and made me feel like I have more self worth. I'm not sure what activity that would be for you as an individual but keep it to something realistic. If you set high goals that you can't achieve in one day like finishing a novel then it may backfire on your mentality. Its always a mental battle to get better.

call and talk with my friends, breathe and meditate with music

It's funny for me, I listen to Bo Burnham Inside! It calms me down! Also if you have any pets, play with them! And don't forget to breath! 4 seconds in, 6-8 seconds out! It helps me personally!
