Okay, I'm no doctor, but I'm studying in the Medical field, so I think I'm qualified to tell you this. Anxiety, as well as other stress-related problems, is understood to go hand-in-hand with your body not being in chemical equilibrium. Aside from compartmentalizing thoughts and problems, other things that could help you are: sleeping right (at least 8 hours a day for kids, 6 for adults but 8 would still be better), eating meals on time, and avoiding energy drinks, sodas and coffee. Drinks like these tend to make your body mimic your sympathetic or "fight or flight" reactions, one of which is that tense feeling. Not eating on time can make your body run on adrenaline, which also triggers fight or flight reactions. Also, fasting and the lack of food can make your brain low on sugar (which I believe, every food turns out to be after digesting). Yes, sugar is brain food. Sleeping and eating right can help restore your balance, and a few vitamins should help too.
Take care of yourself and I hope this helps.
