1. I get that.
Especially if I have to drive somewhere.

Relax, take deep breaths and take your mind off of the anxiety itself. I usually find something that is very mind stimulating to do and that takes care of it. If its something stupid like watching tv my anxiety goes up 30x.

If it becomes a chronic problem, dont feel bad for asking for an anti anxiety drug. I have Xanax for this same reason.

2. Take a walk
eat some carbs
and laugh hard at something.

Then go to bed early after watching a stupid movie.

4. I find that is the only way to have something come out alright
if I think everything is fine and don't worry about it - it will be a mess for sure. The more you worry te better it comes out.




(just kidding around here - if anxiety is debilitating probably should seek medical advice)
