Anxiety
Hi, I’m new to this and I just wanted to find out how people cope with anxiety. For me it’s recently developed over the last couple of months and now I feel like I’m sinking deeper and deeper. What are some ways people cope?

There is many things you can learn that can help, even if you Google this you'll get loads of tips that will be of general help, however if you wanted to explain more about how you experience your anxiety and how it's negativity impacting you, people might be able to support you in a more individual. I am a long term anxiety sufferer of many labels so can offer suggestions from my own experience(s). Anxiety has similar symptoms but every individual is different.
@wittyWatermelon7253 Maybe you can ask for professional help. I sometime have anxiety. I hope you get better.

Hello wittyWatermelon7253.
Sorry for your anxiety, it's never an easy battle. I've heard that there are some techniques to use to help a bit, they mostly need to be tried personally because what helps someone could be not useful for another person . They go from relaxation techniques to grounding technique, that would be to shift the attention from sensation of anxiety to what your senses experience in the context you are at the moment: it could be about focusing in something you see, something you hear or something you can touch. Grounding is more effective for high levels of anxiety, like it can be a panic attack but when it becomes a 24/7 sensation, that never leaves you, probably it could be important to also check what causes it, where it's rooted. If you are not aware of the cause, a professional could surely help to identify it.
I am sure at a point things will go better for you, you are already trying to find help by reaching out and that's the first step for improvement!
Sending you good vibes 🤗
