How do you cope with anxiety?

My old coping mechanism is suppressing it and that has made it worse lol.
I noticed that worrying about the things that I cannot change had caused me so much anxiety and I had horrible anxiety attacks.
Now, I just let stuff go and go on with life.
I recently ended a relationship. That cured me in a huge way. I have no regrets.

@IntoMeYouSee to let stuff go, is where I'm trying to be. but sometimes I can't help but overthink it.

I do breathing exercises, and I write. Both help me tremendously with my anxiety.

Truthfully, I don't have a lot of anxiety.

Magnesium and B-complex vitamins are the first things I use...then if it's something worrying me take a walk or do something to busy my mind like chores and cleaning closets & cabinets in the house or doing some yard work project outside.

I smoke pot.

@AlphaCuckTX sometimes pot gives me anxiety, sadly.

You're smoking the wrong kind, might I suggest Girl Scout Cookies.

I think exercise would help but I often don't feel like it, I will though escape for a while through fantasy and try at least in my head to be somewhere else where I don't think about the things that made me anxious.

@Subsumedpat exercise helps me a lot!

I tend to come online and try talking to my buddies but sadly I don't have as much time to do that as I used to
