How can I get rid of anxiety?

Getting rid of anxiety is a lot about yourself. You have to realize that you want to fix it and then take the initiative to do something about it. Going to a counselor who can support you through your anxiety is also highly recommended.

It's not easy to get rid of it. But it takes practice. Plan the worriness by using some techniques. Plan your schedule try to keep yourself busy. Breathe - inhale and exhale most important to get oxygen is air :) Give yourself a break by relaxing and using those relaxing techniques, such as watching TV/Film, listening to music, pray, etc.

You may not ever get rid of anxiety altogether. Either way as I see it, whether it's long term & possibly genetic or more reactionary such as related to PTSD, it becomes a powerful habit & the brain becomes used to making pathways this way & reinforcing itself. But from experience [sporadic, up & down] I know that CBT or even simple CBT exercises, relaxation such as audios with imagery or meditation, & [I know it sounds cliched!] deep breathing from the diaphragm. Like the guide mentions I find distraction really useful as well because the brain can only focus properly on limited things at a time so taking it off 'anxiety track' cuts off the fuel for those bad thoughts. Basically evolutionary psychology would hint that some of these traits can be ingrained due to our history but honestly it can improve so much with practice [the more you practice, the more your self-reassurance, reality checking & self soothing can be reinforced].

Listen to music, read.. Watch T.V. Surround yourself with people who care. Laugh, enjoy life like there's no tomorrow.

How did I get rid of anxiety? I learned to accept it. I came to understand that anxiety and stress are there for a reason. They help prepare you for the challenges you are about to face and it is important to realize that they are assisting your body instead of being afraid of them. Learn to let them help you. It changes your life.

You can get rid of anxiety by putting negative thoughts out of your mind and taking up a sport that makes you happy

For test anxiety, the technique I would do to relieve my nerves, is review all the info the night before, and not any time else before the test, because if i prepared myself well enough I shouldn't need to review before, and procrastinate. Because when I do procrastinate I feel rushed, and it causes me to freak out even more. I also take deep breaths before the exam, to calm myself down, and remind myself its only an exam its not a life or death situation. And lastly, throughout the test if i panic I flip the test over take some deep breaths in and out, and close my eyes and try to retain the info I have reviewed the night before! I hope this helps!

Well, anxiety is brought up by certain things. I think if you take these 'subjects' and study your enemy, you'll be able to overcome it :)

Everyone has a different method to help with anxiety, you just have to find the one that best works for you

Whenever I've gone through anxiety, I have tried to have my mind focus on something else for the time being and my anxiety decreased when I was putting my mind and focusing on something else. I have also used a lot of self talk to motivate myself to not get myself down so much.
