The terrible thing about anxiety is that it's usually accompanied by depression...eventually...the two do not mix very well. My trick is to try to do meditation every now and then. I get into bouts of mental tangles and it's very frustrating, but somehow writing makes me sort it out, as convoluted as my stories can be. Oh! and exercise. It doesn't sound fun, but it never does. It is WONDERS for depression. Even just going for a walk, fresh air is VERY important.
