Hi Makay,

Warm welcome to the beyond blue forums. I hope you find these forums helpful and connect with some of the stories you read on here. It is great you have found the courage to find your anxiety.

A great place to start if you're wanting to find out more about the supports available to you is to do the Beyond Blue mental health check in here: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/mental-health/mental-health-check-in-k10

Regarding anxiety in particular there are a few things, outside of professional help, that we can do for ourselves that can help manage symptoms. I personally use exercise and breathing exercises. But you can find a bunch of management strategies here: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/mental-health/anxiety/treatments-for-anxiety/anxiety-management-strategies

And here are some relaxation exercises you can also do in your own time: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/mental-health/relaxation-exercises

I hope some of these links are helpful. Please feel free to share more of your story here. Keep us posted on how you're going if you're looking for more advice/support. 🙂

Bob
