It may not be a specific obesity question, but I think we're all in this journey together because we chose to reach out, sign in, and interact with others in similar situations. So, saying that, I'll just say I make lists - to get all the jumble out of my head and onto paper. And don't be intimidated when people say "journaling". I know that blank page was really overwhelming at first. So I just started writing every random thought, yes, those early pages are a bit scattered, but, it made it so much easier. Good bless your journey!

Try finding hobbies to do to stay busy and yes journaling

Hi. As a person who deals with a lot of anxiety myself I appreciate your question. My answer is talk it out. Get it out of your head. Do you have friends? Good friends who you can confide in? I do, and I tell them everything even the things that are not so pretty because I know that they love me and they want the best for me and they will tell me right off if I'm in trouble and I need to either a: slow down, b: talk it out, or c: seek out a crisis line.
You see if I don't do any of those things and I don't talk to them I'll end up in d: psych ward.
But that's me. I am an extreme case. I'm not in any way saying that's your case. What I am saying is find somebody who you can confide in. Talk to them. Tell them whatever is on your mind. Don't worry about what it is just talk to them. They will have a level head and a free mind that will be able to think clearly and help you to think clearly too. I hope this helps. God bless.

Journaling , talking to someone, breathing exercises , laying down doing guided medition to get me out of self , listening to music, & prayer are all good coping skills that help me with stress & aniexty. Hope this helps:)
