Anxiety help! please?
ByI want to know if there’s anyone who suffers from anxiety like me?
I need advice that will help me when I need to calm myself down.
Relax Make time for yourself. Allow yourself to chill out and enjoy life as possible. If you are feeling always like this you should see a doctor for the right help.
I suffering with the same problem when you are happy and the thoughts are away in that period of time. When not out and about doing work, doing exercise keeps your mind occupied and busy. As you are in control of yourself the sooner you do ask for help the sooner you will be back to yourself.
Put on some music - sing and dance along., or just listen attentively (use music that is likely to help you feel your desired emotion
Be with others - contact a friend, visit family
Talk to someone
Physical exercise - walk, swim, go to the gym, cycle (take the stairs instead of the lift, get off the bus a stop early)
Engage in a hobby or other interest - if you don’t have one, find one! What have you enjoyed in the past? What have you sometimes thought about doing but not got around to?
Write down your thoughts and feelings - get them out of your head
Just take one step at a time - don’t plan too far ahead
Positive self-talk - encourage yourself, tell yourself: I can do this, I am strong and capable - find an affirmation that works for you (even if you don’t believe it at first!). Write it down and memorise it for when you need it.
Use Imagery e.g. to relax and bring about future goals
Tell yourself: "This will pass, it’s only temporary". "I’ve got through this before, I can do it now". When we’re going through a tunnel and become fearful of being trapped, there’s no point in stopping - we just have to carry on in order to reach the end of the tunnel.
Learn to communicate assertively (rather than passively or aggressively)
Eat a healthy balanced diet, with plenty of fruit and vegetables
Drink less caffeine and more water
Pamper yourself

I have terrible anxiety. I have had it since I was probably 10. Sometimes it’s so bad that I don’t even want to leave my house or see anyone. It sucks because I have never had a real relationship with a boy and I am afraid to because of my anxiety. I am really afraid of throwing up which just makes my anxiety worse..:/ I know it’s kinda weird but I am terrified of it. It sucks because anxiety has like taken over parts of my life and making it hard for me to want to live my life to the fullest…but I am getting help for it and hoping it will make me feel better about everything. So I am in the same boat but there is help out there and I do believe in it
If you ever need to talk to someone, message me!
