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

It can be hard to break this cycle, but there are ways iv found we can do it especially when we dont have someone like our therapist to listen or help guied us. Some things i find that help me are taking a short walk outside amd breathing in and out calmly allowing my mind and heart to slowly get back to normal, relaxation techniques can help you with the mental and physical feelings of anxiety so by just going to a quiet place and breathing deeply and playing some nice relaxing tunes can help, writing down how you feel and letting it out as you would to your therapist can also help life some weight of your shoulders i fimd doing this while having a nice chamomile tea and sitting outside helps me fee much less anxious, sometime a good scream out loud helps release tension 😊 it may be silly but it helps i know, a warm bath with some nice relaxing soaps could help you reduce the stress and anxiety you may be feeling, spending somw time with your pet can also relive stress and anxiety. There are many ways we can try to help us het through that rough day and help is get a firm hold of our body and mind ☺

There are many ways to deal with anxiety. Most anxiety triggers are related to the uncertainty of something or a big fear of something. A great way to ease this is to have a sort of distraction, like a phone call to your bestie and have her/him laugh your anxiety away or try deep breathing exercises. Inhale and as you exhale, count down from 10 to 0. Do this until you feel better. Normally after the third you start to beef calm. Don't do this too much because you might feel dizzy lol another way that helps is watching videos of you favorite animal, like a dog or cat running around the grass or something. Hope this helps :)

I've been in this situation, and I used to ask the same question. It's very difficult to seek help for things; specially if the thing you want to talk about is the thing that is keeping you from talking. It is this vicious cycle, but you are capable of breaking it. When I first began seeing a therapist, it took 3 or 4 sessions before I began actually speaking. The important thing is that you take that first step. Maybe you could even have a friend set up your appointment for you. Therapists and doctors both understand what you're going through, and want to try their best to make sure your comfortable with the situation, but also help you how they can. I know it's intimidating, but taking the first step is the biggest part. Thank you for reaching out, and good luck

Overcoming anxiety can feel like there is no possible way, but it's understandable if you can't talk to a therapist or your own doctor. Anxiety's enemy is distractions, happiness, and feeling loved. You can overcome anxiety in many ways. For example, pick up a hobby or learn about someone new, make connections. Embrace your newly found happiness and tell anxiety "No." Wake up each morning and smile for at least 60 seconds, it automatically makes you happier. My progress over the last 4 years learning and figuring out how to get rid of my anxiety quicker has become easier following these steps.

You could try writing out your feelings and thoughts and, if you feel up to it, share those with your therapist or doctor. You could also work on desensitizing yourself at home by role playing. Ask yourself questions a doctor or therapist might ask you, and then answer them. If anxiety comes up, practice breathing, tapping, or using another coping strategy you have. Once you feel ready, you could try talking to an online therapist, and then move onto a face-to-face doctor or therapist if needed. Remember all change for everyone is scary and we need to take small steps to reach our destination. Start taking some small steps, and you'll be on your way.

Anxiety is a very common issue found in people. It can be overcome with few methods. Anxiety is the negative counterpart of excitement. When you are anxious you are worried because a negative thought or fear is troubling. So you can just replace it with a positive thought or some hope. Many people start to feel anxious when they think it as life or death situation, (like if I don't clear this exam,I will become a worthless person for my entire life). It is not a healthy practice. You can think the situation as a mere challenge which has nothing to do with your career or future. Labeling the thoughts help sometimes. For example, if you are having problems, you can write what negative emotions you are feeling, like anger, or fear or sad . And finally it is better to hope for good. Because we have only 2 choices : be happy or sad. The chance is 50/50 (if you can control your mind's chattering). So why not choose the positive side and stay calm?

You can work on good coping skills, such a grounding and counting and breathing to help minimize your anxiety. Recognizing your triggers is also very helpful and avoiding unnecessary situation were triggers are present.

Overcoming anxiety isn't easy. Talking to a therapist can be helpful, but like you not everyone has those resources. Self help guides on this website could be beneficial. Also figuring out what is triggering those feeling of anxiety is important you have to figure out why before you can solve the problem.
