Some good healthy distractions are to deep breathe, watch fun videos, dancing around alot, squeezing a stress ball, running, or sleeping. I do anything to try to distract myself and focus on other things around me until the anxiety subsides.

Focusing on breathing techniques, hobbies, meditation, and physical exercise are all different ways of coping with anxiety, although at anxious times it might be very difficult to use any of these.

Breathe through your anxiety. This might sound obvious, however focusing on how anxious you feel, and how the breathe feels through your anxiety - it can be really calming â¤

Personally, if I find I am feeling really anxious, I meditate. Mindfulness meditation can be done quickly and anywhere - there are tons of videos, sites and apps dedicated to it too.

Focus on your breath. 20 slow, full, long, and controlled breaths. Breathe in, feel your lungs expand. Breathe out feel your lungs shrink. Imagine a balloon inflating and deflating as you breathe in and out. Use your hands to count as you concentrate on breathing if it helps.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
