Dear Bee40,
Thank you for sharing your struggles with anxiety with us. It sounds like you're experiencing a lot of stress and it's impacting your daily life, relationships, and work.
One technique that many people find helpful for managing anxiety is deep breathing exercises. When you're feeling anxious, try taking slow, deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. This can help slow down your heart rate and calm your nervous system.
Another strategy is to engage in activities that you find calming and enjoyable, such as taking a walk outside, practicing yoga or meditation, or engaging in a hobby you enjoy. This can help shift your focus away from the anxiety and towards something more positive.
It's also important to take care of your physical health by getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly. These things can all help improve your overall well-being and reduce feelings of anxiety.
If you find that your anxiety is impacting your daily life, relationships, or work in a significant way, it may be worth speaking with a mental health professional who can provide support and guidance. They can work with you to develop a treatment plan that's tailored to your individual needs.
Remember that you're not alone in your struggles, and there is help and support available to you. Don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it.
