A few months ago i came down with sudden anxiety attacks. Since then I have changed my diet, started exercising and taking a stress b complex vitamin daily. All of this has helped tremendously. However, I still have random onsets here and there and since the anxiety has mostly subsided I have been having mood issues. I have not gone to the doctor yet, I plan to, but would rather try and beat this myself in a natural way. After extensive research I've figured out that on top of b vitamins, magnesium, L theanine, omega 3, and vitamin D are great for anxiety, mood etc. I've heard some bad things about 5htp and passionflower however. I was wondering if anyone had any other natural suggestions for treating anxiety. Not necessarily vitamins, just anything that would help. I already know about breathing exercises yoga etc. But what about foods or anything else. Any feedback is appreciated.

There's one very important thing you forgot: get a proper sleep.
One way is to write down exactly what you are worried about. Then ask yourself what is the actual percentage of the event you're worrying about odds that it will happen. Write out all possible scenarios to solving your problem. Get actual facts not opinions when gathering info on how to solve your problem. Make decision based on these facts and take action. You should also read a book called How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie. Good luck!
