Positive Responses to this Crisis – How are you handling the stress?

So one of my challenges is free-floating anxiety. As a somewhat anxious person even in normal situations, I find it all too easy to cross into a full-blown panic attack. So I was hoping to hear from more level-headed Houstonians that aren't out at Costco STILL buying out the toilet paper….What do you do to triumph over any anxiety that arises in stressful situations? Other than panic buying, and the easy solution of drinking until comatose.

I am going to walk my dog, which is always calming. I also clean rather obsessively under stress (not that healthy, but better than some other options). I have a bike and will hopefully go for a ride tomorrow. I don't watch TV news either.

What about you?
