Hi guys,
I currently have social anxiety and after suffering from it ever since childhood I have realized the best way to deal with the anxiety is to develop tools that's will make it easier. I was molested when I was 7, maybe that's the cause of it. After years of medication, I just recently dropped them with the help of my therapist. My anxiety is much better than it was before however I would like to know how some of dealt with ur anxiety. Any advice would be appreciated. Tools to deal with social anxiety

I find thinking of an empowering song very useful.

Meditation has helped me. Listening to calming nature sounds also helps with relaxation. Aromatherapy, like smelling lavender, can help. Natural remedies for anxiety include, hops, lemon balm, and passionflower. Teas without caffeine can help.

Grounding techniques work well for me. So many of them you can use even in public situations and no one will even know. Just do a google search. There's so many.
