hacker ways of fighting anxiety?
mcav: Treat your anxiety like you would any coding problem:Consider your anxiety's symptoms as problems in an issue tracker. For every thing that makes you anxious, stop and think: Is this a true, valid, legitimate [health] concern? If so, address it. But if not -- if it's merely a product of your worry -- then mark that issue as "resolved", "notabug", etc.It's a logical approach: If there isn't anything medically wrong and you're just anxious about it, then take a moment and tell yourself that it's just a needless worry, and worrying about a bug doesn't fix it.The more you can allow yourself to focus on other things (i.e. becoming engrossed in a project), the easier it will be to put your anxiety aside.[I am not a doctor, etc.]
