Meditation
Therapy
Intense exercise to get the endorphins going
Time in nature
Taking to a friend 
Journaling
Psycho education, like learning why we have anxiety (Inside Out 2 the movie is a fun and useful take on this)

But op, I want to say how awesome it is that your son went to the doctor! On his own! And got medication! That's great! You must've done a good job. And then called you to check in, so he feels safe with you. How wonderful, seriously.

And your husband is also keeping up with his appointments! That's also something to celebrate! It's silly, but you should literally pat yourself on the back. Give yourself credit and also compassion.

I grew up with an overly anxious mom, and once I left home I would never call her when I was sick or if something bad happened because I knew it could send her spiraling. But you're doing better! You are recognizing your anxiety! You can thank it for helping to keep you and your loved ones safe and then tell it you've got things under control right now. Everyone worries, and you will again, but right now everyone is safe enough and you deserve a good night sleep.[/quote]
