My anxiety is particularly bad today. I woke up with my hands shaking and I got so nervous I started to dry heave.

    Would you consider trying a meditation app? A medical professional recently recommended "insight timer", which has guided meditations and somatic tracking programs and things.

    Just a caution, if you do check it out, it will ask you to start a free 7-day trial for their "plus" version, you have to find the "skip" button, and avoid starting the trial so you don't get charged. I can see how that bit might not be anxiety relieving! But otherwise she had a lot of praise for it. I haven't tried it myself, but I have it ready to go. I'm in a pretty good place at the moment... I hope I remember it's there when I need it.

    I usually distract myself with a YouTube video or a movie. But it'd be nice to have some help with it

    I posted about distractions earlier in the thread, the most effective distractions for me has been Geoguessr.

    I also learned a lot about how the Swedish road network is numbered as I live in Sweden and mostly played the Swedish map.

    If you need a free alternative, you can try Geotastic
