anxiety is definitely difficult to struggle with even doing things others consider a simple task. I have yet to find meds that help but I know a lot of people who have! Therapy isn’t for everyone either, from experience 😅 I struggle as well so not much advice from me unfortunately but I understand the struggle!

i’ve always taken deep breaths, take myself out of situations if i have to, if i’m presenting or speaking in front of many people, i’ll have a quiet little fidget in my pocket to calm me down, or you can have one even if it’s not a presentation. i am vocal about my anxiety with my close friends so they understand and can help me in certain situations. what specifically is getting harder? or just everything

hi, izzy! i'm katherine! i struggle with anxiety disorder too. what has worked for me in the past is to take time to myself to practice self-care, mindfulness, & deep breaths; maintaining a healthy medication schedule; & planning my days, weeks, & months ahead of time so i am not overwhelmed when the days come by! everyone is different & prefers many different ways of handling anxiety. some people prefer time to themselves to relax, some prefer talking with their therapist, some enjoy exercise & yoga, & some enjoy spending time with friends! it just depends on your personal preference. i have found that scheduling time to see my therapist & to take time to myself to enjoy my hobbies helps me to feel less anxious. if self-care is my priority, it is another essential task for me to mark off my list! :) check!
