 Thats what i do when i have panic atack 
 I hear yea, Also try cold cloth on your neck or face. I sometimes will lay in bed headphone do a youtube 10 min meditation in the morning when i am feeling tense. As well cut back on coffee 
 When in anxious my hand and feet gets cold so i dont like to hold anything cool , i get better result with warm water, it relax me, have you tried?


I have been drinking coffee again, that might be making it worse too

 
 I would bet it's the coffee if you're drinking ~250-300mg caffeine 4-5 normal cups.

Just be mindful of it and try not to sip it all day.  Mix in some water. 
 I only drink  1 coffee a day usually in the morning but yes it might been making it worse 
 I found that drinking coffee every day make my anxiety worse. Now maybe 2 or 3 a week. Always in the morning (otherwise have difficulty sleeping). Also, if you're on X, get off that shit. I quit it a while back and have been much better for it. Japanese Zen books are also worth a read. This is a nice one, easy to consume: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Shinsuke-Hosokawa/dp/4805315733 
 Wait... How did you go from coffee to X?  
 What do you mean? 
 You were talking about coffee making you anxious, and then you're like, "get off X". You were taking about Ecstasy, right? Or were you talking about Xanax? I suppose Xanax makes more sense in the context of anxiety? 🤔 
 Ha ha ;) 
 So, what was it? Xanax or Ecstasy?  
 it would be easier parse if we still called it Twitter. 
 I only call it Twitter. I'll never entertain his X fetish. He's obsessed with using X in everything he names, including his kid. Fuck that schmuck.  
 Twitter forever, and yes, he's an obsessive weirdo creep edgeload that has been itching to use his meaningless domain name for *years.* 
 lol "edgeload"

*edgelord 
 Edgeload will also be accepted.  
 Do you know why he called it X? There's an interesting history 
 Why he says he named it X and the actual reason he named it X are two different things, I imagine.  
 X marks the spot where the digital gulag takes aim at your freedom.
