I use breathing exercises when it gets really bad. In addition, when my mind is racing, I try to concentrate my attention on baseball cards. I start listin out what I need in my head, going through potential sets, etc. it really helps me get my mind of of things and has been really helpful before going to bed.
Something to remember is that stress and anxiety are common problems. And, if you decide to do the medication or therapy thing there is nothing to be ashamed of.

No shame in any of it. I am under a lot of work related stress and looking for a non-medicinal way to cope.
