Another way to help with anxiety is to watch what you eat. Avoid caffeine and anything high in sugar in particular. I know that caffeine can rev me up---and that I can feel just like how I feel when I get anxious, with the rapid heartbeart, etc. And sugar can create a high and then cause a drop.
Also, taking deep, slow breaths can help. Take air in and then let it slowly out. You might even try blowing into a paper bag.
These are two things my psychiatrist suggested, and they do help.
