    It’s a super basic thing that hopefully most people already know about, but “box breathing” really helps me when I need to relax. For people who aren’t aware:

    Four second long inhale, then hold for four seconds. Four second exhale, then hold for four seconds. Repeat.

    After a bit I realize that I’m not counting anymore and it doesn’t feel like holding my breath because now I’m just breathing slow on my own.

    Cannabis helps me. But I guess that’s a form of “medication” (though not with the same mechanisms of addiction as amphetamines, I don’t think).

    Well, I guess that depends on how you define “help.” It usually doesn’t do anything for my poor executive functioning, but it does help with the anxiety that usually comes with it.
