How do you cope with anxiety?

In the past few days things have been a bit nightmarish thanks to anxiety.
Trying to keep it together but it's honestly hard at times and even crippling to some extent.
Like, sometimes it just feels like anxiety rules my life. I've been struggling on and off with anxiety since high school, worse part my parents don't actually seems to understand how this affects how I go about my day to day life. Like meeting new people or doing things I've never done before can be very nightmarish.
For an example I've been wanting to get a job forever, and recently found something close by yet I'm too damn nervous and worried of being nothing but a fuck up. The thought of going to some establishment and asking about a job is enough for me to feel like my soul is leaving my body.
Or then I just worry about all sorts of stuff until my mind goes to real dark places that I have a difficultly in leaving.
Makes me wonder, how do you all cope?
Generally I try to distract myself with things I enjoy like drawing or reading something, but it hasn't had much of an effect on me.

i don't think i can't really say my best way to cope, but yep distracting always works 
i can recommend this game spiritfarer, it honestly feels like ghibli movie and it's so shooting but it's also actually very deep game about life and death

i lived with two flatmates for 6 months and i barely ate anything all that time because i was too nervous to leave my room for anything. i just sat laid on the floor crying every day because i was so tired of being constantly scared in my own home. i would get sleep paralysis almost weekly where it felt like one of them came to my room and tried to suffocate me with my pillow :'D

now i luckily have my own place and since i have a dog, i have to go out which is good, i guess... i also haven't had sleep paralysis since i've lived here :'D

Im talk it out with close friends and/or family bc i have a great support net with understanding, loving friends and family but i also think its very important for me to recognize when i need a break to focus on self care so that i dont hit a wall. Like in the past ive always just sucked it up and gone with the whole “just suck it up and ride it out and deal with the mental and emotional damage after” and that just made it worst bc all that does is repress it until it all just bursts out all at once and fucks u up

That sounds horrible. Nice you gotta place of your own now where you don't have to feel that way.
Well, they say when your distressed your likely to have sleep paralysis. Hopefully you'll remain at peace with your surroundings. What's your dog's name??

Used to do it all the time. Still do, but not as much as before.
I don't have much of anyone to talk to, my mom literally always says no matter how much I explain to her what it's like to "Get over it". Very frustrating, so I look towards other things to get through naturally.

i otherwise wouldn't have moved in with other people but it was a last-minute decision because i got to hear so late about getting into school last year... but i hope things will be better from now on. my dog's name is Ronny. i kept the name his previous owners gave him because i felt weird changing it (':

i didn't use to have anyone to talk to either... after i started uni, i found people who understand me and it's made things so much better because i don't constantly have to pretend to be fine

i just thought he was very stressed since i was his third owner and he's only 1yo... so i just felt like it would've been unfair of me to change it since he already knew his name :'D

That's really nice. I had a few people from high school that seemed to understand me. Unfortunately don't have much contact with them anymore sad I'm hoping things will eventually change though. Meeting people, and in general making friends has never been easy for me.

Same same. Don't know the backstory of my first cat Jeter, but know my second cat Lucy used to live outside and I'm guessing has stayed up for adoption for a while based on what they've told me when adopting her. Which comes to mind, I always see people down size how intelligent some animals actually are. Like their smarter than we think.

Hopefully, you'll be able to find more people who understand you at some point sad I was never good at making friends either. I had one friend until I started uni and moved to another part of the country. I had to make new friends so I wouldn't be completely alone. 

My dog's breeder was originally gonna keep him to compete in dog shows but she got a better puppy and decided to sell him to a family. He didn't get along with the family's kid or father (he probably wasn't socialized by the breeder), so they sold him to me. He still doesn't let anyone else touch him but me and barks at everyone near my apartment building :/
