I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
I'm terrible about sitting for hours without getting up and walking around. I always feel so much better if I get up once an hour and mosey about.
I also have to remind myself to slow down on the coffee drinking, haha. 😅 A few cups spread out across the day works alright, but sometimes I go overboard early on in the AM.
Yeah, I find doing simple tasks away from my desk always helps. Since we're at home these days, it's household stuff like emptying or filling the dishwasher, laundry, making or eating lunch.
And if that's not helping, talk to your colleagues.
It's also important to recognise the source of the anxiety. If it's a specific problem you're working on then these steps can help.
But for a problem that's much more systemic, you probably need to reach out in other ways, like others have suggested.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
