any ways to help with anxiety?

i’ve been dealing with like a lot of overthinking, anxiousness, things similar to anxiety/panic attacks. till the point that im too anxious to do simple things like order food from a different stall, initiate conversations, etc. and like i just physically cant do certain things because im too scared.
i find that listening to noise music, with certain bands especially, help during my panic/anxiety attacks as i can focus on the lyrics and beat instead of everything else around me. but i dont have access to my phone and earbuds all the time, like when im in school so any other ways to help deal with this?
i’ve also been trying to overthink/overanalyse lesser now but the only thing that i find helpful is making myself busy since that way i have no time to think about those thoughts, but i know that that isnt very healthy either, so are there any ways to help this?
honestly, if there’s anything that can help any one of these things, i would be very grateful if you could share it with me as im trying to find alternative solutions to make my life just slightly easier and less uncomfortable to live in.
