I'm 11 and sometimes I have anxiety (I don't cry though) 

When I'm feeling like that, I will grab my fidgets and play with them. You know popping a poppet or squishing a ball or spinning a fidget spinner, might help with your anxiety :-)  With love, -- AGM13

Answer 1

find what you like and follow that.

Maybe even surround yourself by things related to that.

Try that it may help with depression.

Answer 2

I am 11. I also have mild anxiety.

My advice is to talk to a counsellor, they usually help a lot. Also, try doing fun stuff with your friends! It can take your mind right off what you're thinking about!

I really hope you don't struggle too much:)
