Type 5's how do you deal with your anxiety?

[jixmixfix]

I have read that type 5's are the type most prone to anxiety what are some ways you do to cope with it or keep yourself in check?

Exercise- helps my body relax and my mind. Especially things like running, yoga and rollerblading that let me meditate and get into a rhythm.

Jokes - about the situation or anything
Music- again getting out of my mind as into a different rhythm

Hanging out with my best bud which mostly involves doing stupid but fun stuff.

As a 4w5 INFP, I guess my Ne or Te, can alleviate a lot of stress.

But music is more like accepting anxiety than handling anxiety. I still have anxiety, it's just that I recognized it and don't see a problem with it overall.

I don't think there's anything wrong with having anxiety, it's one of those things you should be more worried if you don't have it. Limitations/fears keep society from crumbling apart whether people like that idea or not. I guess that doesn't mean it's all sour grapes either, it makes good music, and good music drives people.

Well this is something I've learnt at least... hopefully aha.

Haha I made a similar thread. . It might be helpful since you are a head type after all.
