Do anyone suffer from anxiety?

[Anonymous]

If so how do you cope? What ways do respond?

A bit. Nothing too severe, I'm not on ativan regularly or anything. One thing I found that would not make me drug dependent but is effective in just managing the anxiety when it starts getting overwhelming, like during exam time, is exercise. When you start feeling like it's too much, schedule regular workouts. Doesn't have to be anything strenuous, a brisk walk will do. Just make it consistent, and you'll feel amazing. Helps manage the anxiety, and just make everything seem a lot clearer.

I do, I listen to music, take meds, workout and drink tea

I do but I never have panic attacks. I'll just often have this tightness/ sinking feelingbin my chest which happens daily and it kinda drains my energy and distracts me. I'll just endure it or try to listen to relaxin music. Rarely If it's bad I will punch myself in the arm a couple times and oddly enough the anxiety will become less bothersome but it won't totally ho away. I'm not sure I'd recommend that tho
there's probably healthier methods

I have the opposite of anxiety. Throw me int he deep end with no help under as much pressure as you can put on me and I adapt and evolve and get stronger. People always ask me how am I so calm and relaxed... I guess I just like a challenge.

I do, not very extreme though. I workout, listen to music, it really depends.

I do when I'm in a room full of black guys my age (long story). I just focus on my boyfriend.

When I walk into class sometimes my heart starts beating super hard and I have to sit in the back of class and take a few deep breathes
