When anxiety gets this bad, the answer for me is simple.
Exercise.
We all hate to hear it, but… If you can get to a zone where all you can think about is breathing, you will lose the capacity and bandwidth to keep ruminating over whatever’s got you anxious.
I recommend hiking. It’s just walking. Woods are calming. Mountains are relentless. There’s always more hills to climb.

Fully agreed. Running turns my brain off for a little while, I feel calmer afterwards, AND I sleep better. It’s a win-win-win.
