Dealing with anxiety

Cinnabar_wing

How do people cope with being anxious?

Sometimes it just gets too much and I crumple. But only on the inside, I'm quite capable of not showing it at all and getting on with life, it's just an extra thing to carry quietly.

Music does help me feel calmer at least for a while.

Anyway, apologies.

  • Hello, for me ive found anxiety is created in the body through the nervous system and then it moves to the mind.  I find somatic practices really helpful to shift the nervous system out of sympathetic state - thing i like are shaking the body, tapping, eg at the collarbone is really good, putting cold water at back of neck, lying on floor with legs up wall, breath work especially alternate nostril breathing. All these things help me, just sharing incase useful.
