2/ Lastly, if you're having an anxious episode and can't reach out to someone at that moment, remove yourself for a few minutes. You're anxious. Your heart is pounding. It's scary & lonely. Pushing these feelings away will just add to the stress  & add another layer of anxiety. Feel what you're feeling. Don't fight it. Remove yourself for five minutes and let the anxiety pass through as you take deep breaths. Hand on your heart, tell yourself you'll be ok. Comfort yourself as you would a friend.
