I’ve noticed this starting a few months ago. I’ll start writing a response on a politics message board and I get really enveloped by what I’m writing. I notice that I start to itch (in patches). Usually, I can just sit on the couch, watch some tv, and calm down (progressive muscle relaxation and deep breathing usually really help). Today, I was taking my cell biology final and I was itching like crazy. I mean I couldn’t stop at all and I lost focus on what I was doing because the itching was so distracting. Obviously I was really into that final and also worried about doing well.

So what can I do to stop this anxiety? I don’t exercise much at all, so I’m sure doing some more of that wouldn’t hurt, but what else can I do to calm myself down and to relax better?
