I've had terrible anxiety at certain times in my life. I've found that it doesn't just 'go away' on its own, so it's great that you're asking for help. Two things have helped me quite a bit: Exercising and meditating. Exercising helps flush out nervous energy, that knee-tapping, pencil-chewing, frenetic buzzing that tends to keep me up worrying at night. It also helps get me on a regular sleep schedule, and I tend to stay calmer when I'm well rested. Meditating has helped me quiet the noise. When I have a lot going on it can become hard to even decide what to focus on...meditating helps me clear that up and set my mind on single objects/tasks at a time. It also helps me accept the things that I can't change, and learn to acknowledge and move past my own failures (like missing a deadline) without freaking out or panicking. Hope that helps.
