How does one curb anxiety without prescriptions?

[Havthrills]

There are times when I get nervous over nothing. Even just going to work. It causes a small upset stomach then thick saliva in the back of my mouth. I have a weak gag reflex so this makes me want to puke. I sip water to keep it down. Sometimes it happens just going to work. The best way to stop it is to puke but it's always just dry heaving to get rid of the thick saliva.

How can I control this? I don't want to take pills and I stopped pot long ago. I tried to think of why I get nervous. Nothing.

Answers to my previous question made me wonder if this is also a form of stress.

yoga is for 19 year old girls like me 🤷‍♀️ if you try it, be ready for a whole lot to do before you even get going, clothes, mats, finding a place, finding the right kind of yoga, finding the right class and instructor, other people in the class, etc. for me in LA it's easy but it might not be for you

look at YouTube videos about diaphragmatic breathing, just doing it for a minute or two will calm you right down

for meditation search for Tim Ferriss meditation on YouTube, or search for Headspace or guided meditation, and this video is a good place to start for just 2 minutes every night (as just one example, you'll have to find one you like particularly)

I remind myself I am gonna die, my mother who I love dearly gonna die. It gives me existential anxiety but my anxiety about going to job fades away

[Havthrills]

Do you think that a lot? Why? It sucks cause i have been trying to figure out what causes it and have no solution so far. I also carry a water bottle for when it hits.

What triggers it? Must be some trigger

[alina177]

External or internal

[Havthrills]

I know. I think it's part of my part I can't let go. I try but it still kind of haunts me. Sometimes I just get nervous and by looking it up, it's part of anxiety.

Changing breathing patterns, changing environment, snacking, fidgeting, having healthy food in your belly really helps, exercise, being tired in general but not too tired

What if you only performed as good as you feel you are able to?

Look into deep breathing exercises, meditation and yoga.
