I am feeling...

Anxious or stressed

Everyone feels worried or stressed from time to time, but if those feelings don’t go away it may be a good idea to talk to a health professional or someone that you trust.


Understanding anxiety and how it may affect you, as well as seeking help, could also make  you feel calmer and more balanced. 


  • Try this self help exercise

    When we worry our breathing quickens. This can speed up our heart rate and lead to further anxiety. 


    Taking slow deep breaths will help slow your heart rate and calm you down.


    Practise deep breathing

    Take a deep breath in and count to four as you inhale. Hold for two counts then slowly exhale for another four counts..


    Continue this for a total of five minutes and you will start to feel your heart rate slow down.
