Hi everyone, I’m an 18-year-old woman who has been dealing with some mild anxiety symptoms lately. It’s been a bit challenging, but I’ve been finding ways to cope and manage it. I’ve been practicing mindfulness and deep breathing exercises, as well as talking to a therapist. It’s really helped me to feel less overwhelmed and more in control of my emotions. I also have a great support system of friends and family who have been really understanding and there for me. I just want to encourage anyone else who may be going through something similar to reach out for help and not feel ashamed. It’s okay to not be okay sometimes, and there are people out there who want to help. Hang in there, you’re not alone!
