1.Use Deep Breathing
Deep breathing is another effective way to relieve stress and anxiety. It helps you with physical symptoms such as shallow breathing and rapid heart rate, and it also helps with controlling your thoughts. When you practice deep breathing, you're forced to take your thoughts off of whatever is causing you anxiety and to focus on the breathing technique that you are using.
2.Keep A Journal
Journaling can be an effective way to deal with your anxiety and to find relief. It helps you to take all of the things that are rolling around in your head and get them out of your head and down on paper. Sometimes seeing the things that we're worried about on paper can help us to see that they're not as big of a deal as we thought they were. It can also help us to find solutions that we have been overlooking.
3.Hang Out With Friends
If you're struggling with anxiety, sometimes the last thing that you want to do is go hang out with your friends. Even if it's an activity that you enjoy with people that you like, the thought of it can be stressful. Your brain already feels overwhelmed with things that you feel you need to figure out, and it can seem like a bad use of time to do something fun.
4. Exercise, Find What Works For You :
You might be tired of hearing about how great exercise is for your health. But, the reason you hear about it so much is that there's no way around it. Exercise it's good for both your physical body and for your mind.Getting regular exercise has been proven to help you sleep better at night, clear your head, and boost your mood. It's a great way to use up all that pent-up energy that you have in a way that's going to benefit you in multiple areas of your life.

Silent treatment is also a kind of communication. The other person is communicating with you without any words. This can either mean that the person had his/her boundaries hampered or is vulnerable in some way or another. It's a kind of passive aggressive behavior.
Next Steps
Give the person space and ample amount of time just let the person know that you are there whenever he/she wants to communicate and that communicate is the only key to solve issue without hampering each other's boundaries. Mean while stop doubting yourself and clam yourself down because the behavior is temporary and focus on permanent solution.

Hi, Silent treatment can cause emotional problems to the receiver.
It is emotional abuse You have to control your emotions and try to talk to the person when he or she is calm.
If the person is still not talking and avoiding you ,you should try to accept the situation and try to be emotionally stable.

Hi, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I am sure this is tough for you. It looks like feelings of being unheard and unseen and unacknowledged are coming up. There are also feelings of rejection which are bringing up grief. We have to create a safe space where you can discuss this feeling with a therapist and then once the emotions are released in this safe space you will be in a better place to decide what you’d like to do next with this person given that you have some Deep emotional connection with this person. You’re beautiful as it is! Stay.
Next Steps
I can work with you to help you make a decision about this person in a way where you can be pragmatic about it. Love and healing ❤️

Hi,
It becomes very difficult to handle silent treatment because there are so many thoughts that can come in your mind from that. But if the opposite person is giving you silent treatment then give that person the space he/she wants and try not to take things personally. When you have any kind of negative thoughts understand that the opposite person might be just struggling with his/her own internal conflict and you might not be the reason for it.
Before giving the person his/her space make sure you communicate with the person once and tell them about how you are feeling about the whole situation and you can ask them if they have anything that they want to share with you. Encouraging them to speak up a bit. But if you still feel the person is not speaking up then you can give that person the space.
You can take therapy sessions to help yourself overcome the feelings that you are going through because of the silent treatment and to let go of that negative feeling.

Hi... This usually happens when we have knowingly or unknowingly crossed all personal boundaries of a person. Being silent means the other person believes words won't make any difference. This may also be a manipulative approach if this person belongs to your professional setting. Be mindful of how you interpret this silent treatment as incorrect interpretation may lead to more problems.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Interpersonal Relationship Counselling is required.
