Hello! I decided to post a short list of things that help me manage my anxiety (long term and short term) in hopes that it could help some of you! *Note: none of the things listed below replace proper professional help, such as therapy, among others.*
Some things that help my anxiety long term:
- Routine, meditation, healthy sleep schedules, caring for my pet, hanging out with friends (I know anxiety doesn't always allow for this, but if possible try), spending some time on pleasuring and enriching hobbies, working out.
Some things that help my anxiety short term:
- Tea (especially before bed) and other hot beverages without caffeine, sleeping with a plushie, listening to music with a calming effect, watching a pleasant film.
