I have anxiety attacks and I usually rub my nose or bite the inside of my cheek. I'm trying to break these habits but I need something else. Any ideas?
Answer:
The best thing to do is to get at the bottom of what is making you anxious. That said, if you want "something else" that is not visible to other people, you can try what I call "ear clinching." If you are able to clinch the muscles around your ear canals, where it makes that clicking/squishing noise (and reduces ambient noise around you) it is something you can do and or concentrate on, and there are no outward signs of it.
I have the same thing, but just different symptoms. My main problems are shaking and sweating. I always find that reading a book, listening to music, sleeping or doing something to distract myself helps. I also would suggest maybe sucking on a lollipop or ice cube/popsicle so you can't bite your cheek. Just distract yourself with something you love to do. It always helps me.
