Hi folks. I’m new here and I’m not sure if this is the right place to post but here it goes. 

7 months ago, my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me. It was a really tough breakup. Since then I’ve been very anxious. I think some of this anxiety predated the relationship and was exacerbated by the breakup. Some of it is new. I have no formal diagnosis of anxiety. However, I’ve been pretty constantly anxious for months. My mind is always racing, yet the thoughts aren’t very clear, just kinda background noise. But it’s never quiet in my head. My shoulders are always tense, and I can be very restless. I constantly overthink conversations. During conversation I am constantly thinking about what to say and how I’m coming across. Afterwards I often ruminate about the conversation. My feelings of anxiety are not crippling; I don’t have panic attacks, I can still bring myself to get out in the world and function relatively well. I’m not in a place where therapy would be easy to afford and I’m hesitant to try medication before trying to at least try some simpler remedies.

So what I’m really looking for here is, are there any simpler ways to treat these feelings of anxiety? Something I can maybe do before trying therapy or medication to try and amend my mental health? Thanks!
