I have severe anxiety, like with almost anything and it’s consuming me. I wanna go to therapy aswell but I’m too scared, the whole point of therapy is to let it out and have exposure to ur trauma but I hate people seeing me cry or be vulnerable. Anyway I found out a way to help me calm down/fidget in order to focus would be chewing. I need to stop chewing my nails and even bits of my skin off when I bit all my nails off already. I usually use gum to help me stop that unhealthy habit and so I can focus but it’s there any kind of fidget or relief that helps with someone else’s anxiety?? I want some recs because I’m not always gonna be able to chew.
