I've had anxiety for the longest time and honestly first time on this subreddit for help. I think it's getting to a bad point. I'm curious though, I tend to overthink a lot and due to that I start to feel anxious (pacing back and forth in my apartment, etc) and I notice everytime I feel like a severe anxiety spike, I sit down and keep my arms kinda in a self hugging position and begin to slightly bite my hand/below the thumb area and it seems to help me feel calm... I dont know, I just feel like this is something only a crazy person does if im honest
