Whats causing your anxiety? Whats making you stressed out? Whats making you feel tense? Identify the cause or causes of your anxiety. Target the problem. Family problem, work related stress, health issue? Do you feel lonesome and isolated in your home? Once you've discovered what is responsible for your anxiety you can start to deal with it logically. Break the problem down into little steps and take practical steps to avoid it or deal with it. That is, address it directly, be logical, not fearful, try and be balanced, honest and objective. Easier said than done however. Don't dwell and fret about the unknown or "what ifs"; its easy to exaggerate these thoughts and become fearful about them. It won't benefit you to dwell on them, it will only make it harder to see the problem objectively. 96% of the time worries and fears are imagined, they never happen.
Let it out first, everything. It is not the worry over which your anxious that is the problem, the problem is that over the course of time you have trained your brain to worry! Now its getting stuck on that setting. The solution is to break your worry habit once and for all. Start by getting your worries out of your system. And even begin to let them go. Its most likely they would have been over-exaggerated by now anyway.
This process could make you depressed if you are only listing negative stuff down; so after you get all the negative stuff out of your system begin to think positively and write down all the good things that are happening in your life now, anything that you can think of. Be positive! Also, think about or write down everything positive you can think of about the situation causing your anxiety and stress, in your diary or anxiety journal. Also, make a list of any good opportunities or good ideas, or fun things that you can do, or anything worthwhile you'd like to do, anything that you can think of. If you don't do this self-help stuff now I'm afraid, anxiety can become a major problem, and it can ruin your quality of life, making life almost unbearable and hard to live. This can even lead to depression and other problems. Don't let it get that far, take these simple steps now to cure yourself of panic and anxiety today.
