Such a great post! I tend to listen to music if I’m struggling to manage how I’m feeling. I’ve managed to associate a song with feeling calmer, so I put it on whenever I’m too anxious. Sometimes I try to just acknowledge what I’m feeling and let it overwhelm me. Eventually it will pass but it can get quite uncomfortable. I also find it helpful to focus all my attention on one thing. Something like drawing a continuous line that doesn’t overlap/intersect. Playing with fidget/sensory toys can be useful. I also like holding ice cubes or placing them on the back of my neck. It can help regulate the nervous system.
