Gentle hand hold - anxiety

2 replies

Hie everyone, I'm suffering today. We have builders JUST starting to work over the road from me on some new apartments and the banging etc (I'm not wanting them to stop, it's their jobs and I appreciate that) has sent my anxiety into complete overdrive, I'm nervous and on edge waiting for the next bang/clank/shout, I can't concentrate or anything. I know I've got a good few months of this and I have to get over it so I'm just wondering what everyone else does in certain situations when their anxiety is at there worse. I can't leave as I'm awaiting a parcel and no matter what room I'm in, music/tv playing I can still hear it. A hand hold and any little tips will be greatly appreciated x

Try the Dare app, it has some really useful audio that helps bring anxiety levels down. When you say anxiety do you mean panic or just tension at the constant noise?

@HeffalumpsnWoozles I've got the tension but when the loud bangs happen I panic, it's awful today and I can never fully explain myself. It's just awful x
