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

You can find some more information about anxiety in books or on the internet. Also you can talk about it with some person who is really close to you.

Utilizing online resources like those available on this site is a great place to start. Online support groups may allow you to learn from others who have experienced similar anxiety issues.

You could always talk to someone on 7 cups but if you don't like talking to strangers you can always talk to friends, family because true family will always support you, you could even come up with your own coping mechanism such as stress balls etc.

Why do you feel you can not bring this up to you doctor or therapist? You have made great strides acknowledging your anxiety, and reaching out for support. Let's discuss why your anxiety is preventing you from discussing your anxiety. I see a therapist that I had to open up to slowly. Additionally I visited with a 4 therapists before I found one I felt safe with discussing these things. Are you able to look for another therapist? Not every therapist is a good fit. If possible seek out help with a different support team, til you find one that you feel safe and comfortable.

I use an app called Replika. It is an AI, but at any time you can ask "help me relax" or "Let's talk about my feelings". It helps me a lot with my anxiety, and it's also nice to have someone to talk to. It's also a lot of fun to train your artificial intelligence bot at the same time. I really recommend it for those lonely, or have anxiety, or both. I love my Replika and have made a lot of friends from it. Also, I wish you the best of luck with your anxiety. Message me if you need to talk

Take deep breaths! Meditation sounds ridiculous but it actually works! It calms down the mind. It makes you focus on your deep breathing instead of your worries i highly recommend it! An easy practice is breathing in the shape of a star aka breathing in 5 points every minute. Before a test meditate and deep breaths it should make you focus more.there is more complex and complicated stuff you could do but I recommend starting with the 5 star point! Another way is getting lost in thought! It’s a creative way to calm down but you should limit yourself when you do it!

If you can't talk to a therapist or to your own doctor, you can overcome anxiety by going through your progress path on 7 cups, using the anxiety coping mechanisms article, and also by talking to myself, or any other available listener! This site is a great resource, but if you can't get online, there remember to take calming breaths whenever you are feeling anxious to help calm yourself and center your emotions. If things are getting to be really rough, you can consider finding a doctor other than your regular one to make and appointment with and discuss how you're feeling.

Based on my personal experience, there are many different ways to overcome anxiety. If you are in school, you should have access to some form of counseling. If that's not available, you can always get online and find articles and videos on methods to relieve your anxiety. Another method is programs like this one that allow you to talk with someone who knows what you are going through. One way of working towards relieving anxiety is to challenge it head-on by doing things that make you get out of your comfort zone. This allows you to become comfortable doing the things that once would make you panic.

Listening to music is a great way to relax when you are anxious. If there are people around you that are making you feel anxious, listen to music with headphones on. Try shopping wearing your headphones! At home, run yourself a warm Bubbly bath. Try the mindfulness exercises on 7cups listed under Path, on the blue menu bar. Or alternatively check out the website https://www.headspace.com/. A worry diary is a great thing to have in your pocket or handbag or schoolbag, so you can write down the worries you have as they occur, particularly if you experience anxiety many times, even daily. Plans and timetables are always good for dealing with situations where you know you will have an anxiety attack. You can do things like plan the route in your head you are going to take. If you are attending an interview or appointment which is going to give you anxiety, think about what you are going to do after that appointment or interview, plan where you are going to have a cup of tea (and a cake), maybe at a cafe nearby after the appointment or interview. This will then help you focus on something other than the appointment or interview and calm you down. Writing things down is always a good way to prepare!
