I seem to suffer with anxiety from time to time and would like to know your thoughts on how to deal with it? I have tried medication but feel like they don't work for me at times.
How do you deal with anxiety?

I really wish I had an answer to that. As a fellow anxiety sufferer, I have to admit I unfortunately haven't found any specific way of dealing with it that works each time. Sometimes distracting myself helps, just focusing on something so much that I kind of "forget" about anxiety. Otherwise, I just sort of wait for it to go away.
sometimes I like to play some video games to distract myself a little or i would go on a long walk through nature, I think going to the park and seeing some nature helps me alot

Yeah nature really helps me too. Just going for walks down the coast or the park usually helps ease my mind.sometimes I like to play some video games to distract myself a little or i would go on a long walk through nature, I think going to the park and seeing some nature helps me alot

I have really bad anxiety. When it's at it's peak, I often try to find distractions or something to deescalate it.

I suffer from extreme anxiety. As for dealing with it, I have no idea. I tried 10+ years of "talk" therapy, and have taken medication for 20+ years. The talk stuff didn't help. The meds do a little bit, but I still can't work and rarely go out....
I’m sorry to hear this. There must a way to manage this other than therapy or meds. Have you looked at other possibilities?

My g/f really helps me stay calm. And as long as I don't leave the house, it is manageable....

I don't suffer, I relish it. 
Seriously, though, I have no answer. I just keep going, ignoring it as best as I can. I understand that it might not be the healthiest course of action, but what alternative is there? I have no money for a shrink.
I suppose video-games help, but recently I've grown so tired of them, and the internet, and television. I'd rather go outside and touch grass or read a book, but somehow I just can't make myself do it.
But when it really hits me, I turn on some music, some darker post-punk or doom metal and just lie on the couch, staring into the void.
