So like in dressrosa ? <| sep |> Sometimes anxiety is paralyzing for me too . When there ' s a day I really need to get things done , it ' s so hard , sometimes I can ' t snap out of it . If it ' s a day where the thing I had to do can be done another day , I forgive myself and just allow myself to chill out for the day . I give up the day to anxiety . I ' m an introvert , I need alone time , my anxiety is my body telling me to chill out a bit , I will listen to it . If I ' m at work though , or if I can ' t stay home on a day , I try groundingmindfulness techniques and remind myself that whatever I need to do , I will not accomplish it by thinking about it in the immediate moment I have a tendency to future trip a lot . Taking one thing at a time helps , and grounding helps you get to that focused place . I ' ve found that this combination of allowing my body and mind rest when needed , getting a good night ' s sleep and meditation have helped me at the very least cope with my anxiety . I have very severe anxiety and no insurance or access to mental health resources , but I ' ve been managing my anxiety to the best of my ability . Now I know you mentioned you were going to DBT , which is good , but you seem to need an extra tool to better help you manage your feelings of anxiety . This can be many things , you just gotta find the right combination of things that will help you best manage . It could be a combination of things , anywhere from meds and DBT , meditating , self care , support groups , online support groups , therapy . TLDR Try meditation and listen to your body , sometimes it tells you what you need . And get a good night ' s sleep that seems to really help my anxiety
