Essential oils work real well. Lavender or lemon. They are somewhat expensive but its all natural. I use them for my anxiety

yay... thanks @bjeff

I've got anxiety real bad too. Benedryl works for panic attacks and bad anxiety. Other methods I've gotten from counseling is grounding and four square breathing. Grounding is where you look at something, wherever you are, and really hone in on the details. Describe the color, texture, placement, lighting. Basically anything and everything you notice about the thing. Or touch your palm and describe how it looks, count the lines, etc. What this does is pull you from those anxious thoughts and help you focus on something solid and in front of you. Any time you feel the anxiety sweep back up, switch objects. It's hard and takes practice but it helps. Four square breathing helps a lot because I'll hyperventilate if I get too far into my anxiety. Breathe in for 4 beats, hold it for 4, let it out for 4, and wait 4 beats before starting over. It helps your body get the oxygen it needs because it's so easy to hyperventilate and it naturally calms your body by slowing your breathing. You could also try the "happy place" thing (I suck at it) but while you're doing the breathing, imagine a place where you feel safe and play out a scene in your head. -sorry this is so long- if you need any help you can message me (: I totally know how sucky anxiety is, hopefully it gets better for you or this helps!
