For me, I have found that grinding techniques help, find a game on your phone like crosswords, or puzzle games that keep your mind working but aren't stressful, reading is my favorite go to, but a lot of people love audiobooks, and if you can maybe bring some headphones and listen to some soothing sounds. I also found it helps me when I feel panicky to tell myself "I am safe, I am okay"
