While prescription medication never helped my anxiety, somehow, songs did. Whenever I have anxiety attacks, I have to listen to music. Over the past seven years of having anxiety disorder, I have found the best songs that calm me down quick. I made sure to make this list long enough to get through the longest of anxiety attacks. Some anxiety attacks last 10 minutes, and some last up to hours according to the Calm Clinic. Here are the 19 best songs to listen to when having anxiety:
1. "Knee Deep" -- Zac Brown Band and Jimmy Buffett
2. "Chicken Fried" -- Zac Brown Band
3. "Homegrown" -- Zac Brown Band
4. "Toes" -- Zac Brown Band
