I'm too anxious to talk with someone about my anxiety. Help?

Anxiety can be quite overwhelming and make it challenging to reach out and talk to someone. Sometimes it helps to talk to a professional or a help line where we can speak to a stranger who is not invested or involved in our situation. Additionally, seeking out doctor for treatment options can help in addressing symptoms of anxiety.

That is very understandable. What I did was to speak to people online about it first, and then open up to someone you feel you can trust, in a safe environment, once you figure out how to express yourself.

I'm the same way, for me you have to tell yourself that you're going to do it, and then go through with it, it will help if you talk to the right person

Have you read the anxiety guide that 7 cups supplies? Have you also considered deep breathing exercises?

If you feel that talking about it to other people might help you, then start with someone very close with you who you trust fully and slowly tell them about it. If you have to break the conversation into many sessions, that's okay too, you can start by slowly disclosing somethings personal about yourself and gradually leading to talk to them about your anxiety.

I have worried about this as well, and actually did not intend to share my experience. I broke down completely in my counselor's office and told her everything. While I do not recommend getting to that low of a point, remember that this does not make you weak in any way and sharing this part of you can only benefit you. People can be hurtful about these kinds of issues, but this just means you should try another person. There is always hope and there is always someone willing to help or empathize. Identify what, if any, social group makes you nervous and start somewhere else - for example, if your parents give you a lot of anxiety, try speaking to a friend or trusted adult. If you worry about your peers finding out, talk to a parent or adult figure.

I've found that my anxiety, much like anger, can often be rooted in other emotions. If talking with someone about your anxiety sets you off, a strategy that might be helpful is to see if maybe some other emotion is contributing to it and discussing it instead.

Think about what you are afraid of when it comes to talking to someone about your anxiety. Maybe even write it down. Then try to address those fears first. Talk to someone anonymously and just tell them why you are anxious about talking about your anxiety. Maybe you can break the ice like this and it helps you to open up if the person you are telling about why you are anxious to talk about your anxiety is nice and assertive.

Deep Breathing and i also find that looking outside, as loopy as that makes you look, really helps! Fresh air is the best though, step outside and exhale deeply, fill those lungs with cool air. If not, closing your eyes or resting your head in your arms on a desk for a few minutes does wonders
