Support
If, like Erica, you’re feeling anxious, confused, worried, or overwhelmed, small activities such as deep breathing, focusing on senses like smells and colors and sounds, and reaffirming where you are in the present moment can help. However, if these thoughts continue to hold you back from living the life you want to lead, it might be time to share how you feel with a friend, family member, community support group, or your GP. There are also links to additional support on the hearmyselfthink.co.uk website.
