Alix went on to share that she likes to practice breathing exercises to calm herself down and then distract herself by talking about things such as the food she ate that day

“That helps calm your nervous system and get into a better headspace,” she said. “You will just go through this rabbit hole in your head freaking out so you need to, as hard as it is, just find something else.”

Alix emphasized that she tell fans about her anxiety in hopes of helping others cope with theirs.

“I just wanted to make this video because I was able to get myself out of that headspace, and we stayed and we had a great time. Years before when something like this would happen to me, I would usually end up just leaving,” she explained.
