How can I overcome anxiety if I can't talk to a therapist or my own doctor?

Try to do some breathing exercises to try and slow your breathing. On the 7 Cups website, we have an anxiety section, so feel free to visit that as well

If you're unable to talk to a professional, there are self-help guides on anxiety, including the one here on 7 cups :) Common exercises are: mindfulness, meditation, and a journal to record anxious thoughts. You can also talk to a listener here if you'd like to talk through the self-help guides!

Start investigating practising meditation and mindfulness and you will little by little understand the origins of your anxiety and this will lead you towards a path of self-healing.

Anxiety is an emotion created by our minds and to overcome it we can take small steps every day like we should start by countering the thoughts that run across our mind while we are anxious like our brain says you're stupid they won't like you then we'll counter it by saying that i love myself and i'll have to talk to them to know if they like me or not. Another way is to write about your thoughts when you're anxious and then take a deep breath count till 10 and tell yourself again and again that it'll be all good

You can get some activities like listening to music, some walking, reading books or you can talk your friends

Find something that'll cleanse your mind of the bad thoughts your anxiety creates. Do this by exploring things that'll relax you and make you calm.

I have always found it helpful to go outside for a walk, or maybe even just go sit outside under a tree. And just look around and listen to sounds, touch the ground. Anything that will occupy your mind will honestly help.

personally, I had to do a little exposure therapy on my own time. it sounds awful, but it helps. anxious about making an appointment? make an appointment. do what you are afraid to do, even if you go to make an appointment and hang up when someone answers, you are working towards overcoming your anxiety. affirm yourself as much as possible. realize that people don’t care as much as your anxiety convinces you that they do. other people are generally more concerned with themselves than they are with you. take it day by day. tell yourself that you’re going to do something to help yourself and then do it. don’t think about it because if you do, you’ll think yourself into not doing it. you’ve got this.

You could try ordering some self-help workbooks on the topic of anxiety, and trying to work through them on your own.

Searching for remedies, meditating, and listening to positi e music is the fist step to solving anxiety. The next step is to develop a schedule for yourself. This can be achieved in many forms, but should only be approached in a positive manner. Then, the source of the anxiety is to be found. Once it is found, the final step is to find a solution and put the solution into affect.
