I’m also pretty anxious. I kind of imagine that I’m a character in a sci fi novel and I prefer to be the type that does useful stuff despite (or even because) the situation is grim instead of melting down. I guess that’s also loosely Eliezer‘s suggestion in methods of sanity. It doesnt eliminate the anxiety, but it is motivating.
