Any tips for managing or avoiding anxiety attacks? (self.anxiety)

I have frequent anxiety attacks. Sometimes I can pinpoint a cause, other times I can't. Just recently I had one from playing a game. In the game I have to throw barrels to hit a target which is alot harder than it sounds. What would have once just pissed me off now has my heart racing, has me feeling naucious, and has me feeling a sense of dread I guess. My mental health has gone to shit the last month or so, it was always bad but now its worse. For the last year I've had stomach problems which the doctor hasn't found a physical cause for, I even had an endoschopy and they said everything looks normal. I'm starting to think It's a physical symptom of my anxiety. I'd be grateful for any advice this fine community can offer. Thank you.

The current political climate has really been fucking with me. I find it really hard not to read every news article I see that looks concerning. The cold weather I don't mind too much. I'm probably in the minority there. As for hobbies I'm trying to learn spanish and esperanto. Both are languages that I love and find fascinating. I guess all I have are hobbies and worrying. I don't think I have SAD. I could be wrong though. I love winter for the most part. I'm glad you found sewing, It's really cool. I'm not the most creative type, aside from writing which I don't do much anymore. Maybe I should start again. It's funny, I don't read books much but I think I may like to write one one day. I'd really like to read more too, which would be a great hobby to undertake. Thank you for your kind words. You've given me alot to think about. We'll both get through this.
