How do you keep your anxiety/nervousness in check?

Question

As an over-thinker, it lasts for hoursss, I hate it, I want it to happen then go away after a few minutes. (Don't say see a therapist because that's not going to work, don't question it please, thanks for any useful replies though.)

Answer

Well my therapist is great so I guess I can’t help you 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Try meditation. The point of meditation is being able to put your thoughts aside and practicing keeping your mind quiet and still.
So, you would sit or lie with your eyes closed, and just practice... when a thought comes up, say to yourself, “that’s thinking” and put the thought aside and try to keep your mind clear (you can always go back to the thought later if you need to when you are not in meditation, but for now, put it aside). I like to think of it sort of as my phone screen. When the thought comes on the screen, I swipe it away out of my brain instead of following it into a thought process. 
Meditation practice helps you to stop going into these rabbit holes of thoughts that are not helping you at all. 
Also, you actually need to be open to the idea of therapy being able to help you for it to actually help you… You also need to be seeing the right type of therapist. It needs to be a therapist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy or dialectic Behavioral therapy￼ . It can’t just be any old counselor.￼
