Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but when you use coping strategies, it might help. Are you using therapy or medication to manage anxiety? What techniques work best for you in stressful moments?

I always find a place to sit and breathe deep to manage my anxiety. I don't allow anxiety to get over me. I sense it when it starts coming. The strategy is to get a place to sit down, eat some biscuits, breath deep in and out for some minutes. And I would be fine.

I manage anxiety in daily life by mixing practical coping techniques with lifestyle habits that keep me balanced. I start with deep breathing whenever I feel tense, it helps me slow my thoughts and feel more in control. Regular physical activity, like swimming or walking, keeps my body active and my mind calmer.

I also make time for hobbies that pull me into the present, like reading or cooking, and limit caffeine when I know I’m already on edge. Talking things out with a trusted friend or writing in a journal helps me process what’s on my mind. Most importantly, I try to break big problems into smaller, manageable steps so they feel less overwhelming.
