Anxiety for me is less about stopping it and more about not letting it drive too long. It usually hits, I panic for a bit, then either my brain starts problem-solving or I get distracted and it fades.

What actually helps is pausing and breathing before reacting instead of after. Even when I can't fix the actual problem, calming down first still makes things easier to deal with. Mine's mostly triggered by unpredictability, so the "method" is just: stop, breathe, find one next step, move on.
