Anxiety for 7 years

[ZenAqua]

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been struggling on-and-off (but mostly on) with anxiety for 7 years. I tend towards the panic side of the spectrum...recently I've found that writing about it has helped, so discussing with others must help too! Since I've been at the battle for 7 years, hopefully I can help others too.

Writing definitely helps me! Hope you find that it does you as well.

Hi Zack! same here, I have been struggling on and off with this for many years. What do you think that triggers your anxiety again after those periods you have been feeling fine? For me it's been changes in life I guess... starting university, starting relationships, getting a new job. It gets really frustrating :mad:

Welcome Zack!

Writing here helps me a lot too.

I have an app on my phone that helps me. It's called SAM -Self Help for Anxiety Management and it has some exercises that help me when I'm starting to feel panicky. It has a lot of cool features. I've also found that coloring helps me and this probably sounds silly, but singing songs that remind me of good times helps too. Hope this helps!
