How do I talk to my family and friends about my anxiety?

Well that's kinda hard to answer anxiety effects some people different so I would first start off with a one on one conversation with a close friend or relative than move on to talking with every one about it after you've gotten it all out already so you know you can do it

Don't be nervous about talking to friends and family about your anxiety they are there to help and to listen to you. You choose the person your comfortable speaking to and tell them

I recommend that you mention any difficulties you may be having in school at work or with relationships and bring up how it makes you feel and you may be able to get support for your issues.

Just be upfront with them and tell them how about it, there is no way for them to support you and help you out if they don't know the truth

write it down as a note if you're too scared for face-to-face. Try talking to those who you think will understand better first. I read once that this person used "the perks of being a wallflower" to highlight certain things that showed how he felt and gifted the book to his parents for christmas. it really worked. Don''t be scared, be honest, and remember: this is for you. To make you better. if they don't understand, get professionals involved. or a teacher. make them understand. Hope this helps, good luck! :)

Tell them "I have anxiety" and explain what that means to you. Talk to them one on one and if they care, they'll treat you kindly. If they don't, its their fault.

I slowly chat too them about what causes mine and then we look at solutions but we do not rush into solutions until it is understood!

However you best feel doing so. It is always going to be quite frightening opening up to your close ones about what is going on in your head - but they love you and they will understand. Plus you will probably feel a lot better knowing that you aren't going to have to go through it alone anymore.

Be honest. Tell them how you feel emotionally and physically. And how anxiety affects you in different situations.

Be opened.Tell them how you truly feel.If they cannot understand, seek either a friend to talk to and release your frustration and stress or professional help if you think nothing else helps.
