Looking for natural remedies for anxiety

I am very stressed and anxious at the moment. I’m a chronic over thinker and have been all my life. External life issues and the way I deal with them are causing huge amounts of anxiety currently and I seem to be going from one thing to another.
Cbt is not for me. Tried it and couldn’t relate. I’ve tried antidepressants but they didn’t help. I was still worried.
And as for excercise and all the things I should be doing? Well when I’m like this I can’t find the motivation to do any of it. I like swimming but all I do is think about everything the whole time I’m doing it and I don’t want to think.
Any suggestions for alternative remedies just to calm me down a bit and kick start me into doing all the things I should?

I use Balance for Nerves made by Higher Nature and magnesium for sleep.

St John’s Wort is very effective

I was going to suggest exercise...
Perhaps try listening to Women's Hour or similar, or an audio book, while you exercise?
