Willow Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Hey Aleksy! It's incredible you're looking for support-- I can tell you want to live your life to the fullest! We have a couple articles that might be helpful. The first is on anxiety: https://www.ditchthelabel.org/dr-pam-struggling-anxiety/ This next is our article for supporting social anxiety: https://www.ditchthelabel.org/7-tips-for-overcoming-social-anxiety/ This last one is a very helpful one-- reducing stress is crucial for success and healing. Especially around breathing techniques, if you can slowly develop a routine to calm your breathing when you're feeling anxious, then you can be more prepared for activities that make you more anxious! Also, a helpful thing is always having a way to leave a situation-- maybe by saying "sorry, I need to step out for 5 minutes", so you can rebalance. https://www.ditchthelabel.org/101-ultimate-ways-chill-reduce-stress/ Let us know if these are helpful! -willow MultiQuote Quote This Digital Mentor Account is no longer active.

Melanie123 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi there, I two have social anxiety and can relate a bit to your situation. Little exercises I do is to soemtimes write down what I'm struggling it and three things I can do to at least try and work through the situation. Doing a mediation helps me too. I'm currently doing therapy too well again, trying to sort it out. May I ask what keeps you going with ur therapy and with social anxiety ?

Remi Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Hey Melanie, Great advice. I like the idea of writing 3 things down because 3 things feels really do-able. I am also a massive advocate for meditation. Do you use an app by any chance? -Remi Edited February 25, 2019 by Remi MultiQuote Quote This Digital Mentor Account is no longer active.
