exercise, lavendar, breathing exercises, music, therapy, yoga, etc.
tried a lot of these when i was going through the worst of my anxiety and ended up giving in and going on medication since it was having an extreme impact on the way i lived my every day life and none of the above could resolve it.0 -
I am dealing with anxiety too, been dealing for the past year or so. I tried medication but it wouldn't work for me and I felt like I wasn't myself anymore so I stopped it. Try a therapy, find a good person psychologist and talk to them at least once a week. I know you may question it but trust me it is working better than anything it tried so far, I am finally almost living my life without thinking about everything too much. Any advice msg me on private and good luck!0

exercise.
i have GAD (and have for over a decade, thank you dear EX) and exercise is pretty much the only (non narcotic) thing that helps. breathing techniques, centering, and finding other coping mechanisms also help....0 -
magnesium, B12, zinc and antioxidants were recommended for my kid with anxiety. We added more blueberries, almonds, seaweed (and chocolate). He tends not to eat when his anxiety is high so we carry protein bars around to make sure he gets something in him.0

For me, I find exercising in bright sunshine is great for relieving stress. I've also started to increase my vitamin D intake, although I haven't been doing it long enough so I can't say how effective it has been.0
