Your psychiatrist will probably have good recommendations tailored to you! Good on you for reaching out; that can be anxiety-provoking in itself.

Personally, when my anxiety causes physical symptoms that obsess me, I find that a long shower helps. Maybe the feeling of the water is kind of desensitizing?
