When anxiety feels like it’s taking over

When anxiety feels like it’s taking over, even the smallest tasks can feel like climbing a mountain.

If your mind is racing or your chest feels tight today, please know you’re not alone. In the UK, millions of people are navigating these same feelings, and it’s okay to admit that things are tough right now.

Here is your gentle reminder to:

Exhale. Try to make your out-breath longer than your in-breath.

Ground yourself. Find three things you can see and two things you can hear.

Be kind. You wouldn’t judge a friend for feeling this way; try to offer that same grace to yourself.

Healing isn’t a straight line, and some days are just about catching your breath. That is enough.
