I think CBT is worth trying. It's sort of like a medication, I guess, in that for some people it works wonders, for some people it helps a little, and for some people it doesn't really do squat. But you don't know until you try.

I'm not really sure how to qualify any resources as good or sucky, but Googling stuff like "CBT exercises online" and so on seems to give a lot of stuff to browse through.

For me CBT turned out to be an inspirational thing. Once I got the gist of what it was trying to do and how, I pretty much abandoned the worksheets and started coming up with my own little exercises and approaches, that were molded more so to myself.

I think one of my biggest ones deals with ignoring what I cannot control. It was too hard to just "not be anxious" about things I could not control, I couldn't just shut my feelings off. But I was able to do an exercise that basically involved

- Is this something that you can control?
- If no, focus on something else.
- (Insert pre-planned things for me to focus on.)

Super simple, no work sheets, not creative or anything. Just tailored to one of my bigger anxiety triggers and straightforward / to the point, with immediate decisive thought-switching. Helps me out quite a bit when I actually remember to do it lol.
