I take buspar for anxiety but something I practice is a form of grounding I'll call "five blue things". When I feel like the walls are closing in due to anxiety and that I am teetering on the brink of a meltdown I look for five blue (whatever color works for you) things and name them and where they are in the room. For example..." I see the blue book on the shelf. There's a blue dish on the counter. I see a blue blanket..." Most times by the time I finish I am a little more-to alot more calm than before I did it.
