G'day Gandalf123,
Welcome to beyondblue forums. I'd not heard of situational anxiety before, thanks for introducing me to a new term.
I been doing my crying at home when overwhelmed, so I go to bed and cry it out. Sometimes I've called a helpline or a online chat counsellor, others I've poured out to my wife, yet others I've retreated under the covers bawling hysterically holding my torch until I recover. Focusing on my torch is a technique called anchoring, something to distract myself from my suffering in the moment.
Is your situation such that you can cry? or use something to distract yourself in the moment/at need?
Given that a situation is causing anxiety, can you avoid the situation or change/shape it to be more comfortable?
For example, schools and workplaces are required to help you feel comfortable in those environments. A counsellor or work supervisor could help there.
