I saw someone writing about anxiety - I have chronic anxiety too, but I manage it with meds, relaxation techniques, etc. How do you manage yours?

i don't have that much anxiety, but when i do, i usually try to distract myself or something

Identifying and breaking spirals seems vital to me. Not sure how I manage it. Commitment to distraction until I can tell the turbulent 'weather' passed on? Not sure I recommend that, but it gets me through the day and away from self-loathing. It also makes it hard to keep on track of responsibilities.

Not well, mainly by playing video games and listening to music.

I kinda just see if I can reason my way out of it and hope the feeling subsides otherwise. I am in dire need of better coping strategies.
