There's many resources you can use from breathing excercises to meds. Maybe a little more detail of your history would help.

I use coping tools I learned in CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy).

What then is the situation. Was there a particular trigger to the Anxiety?

There are three things that I do most often. I go and sit at a park near my office and listen to relaxing music. I mean the music you hear if you were going to do yoga. I take walks. While walking, I touch and feel as many things as I can. I find that this takes my mind off of my anxiety while it subsides. Lastly, I take pictures to describe my anxiety. While this doesn't help immediately, it helps me put my anxiety into perspective. I go and look at any photos that I have taken and I then remember what i was thinking when I took the image. On most occasions I find that my anxiety was unwarranted.

These are things that worked for me. I tried a bunch of things that didn't work. You'll likely have to do the same. It'll take time, but you'll find it.

I keep a notebook to track my anxiety. I like using onenote, but evernote or word would still work. Even a physical notebook would work. For me, it's just easier to type than to write.

I track what triggered my anxiety, time of day, the real outcome of what happened, and what I thought was going to happen. Over time, you'll start to see some patterns. Just because you think or feel it, does not mean it's going to happen. in my case, I have the data to back it up.

One of the other techniques i use is to try to view my anxiety as a third person. I tend to be much more compassionate to myself when i view myself from this point of view.
