Things you can try to help with anxiety, fear and panic

Do

Don't

  • Do not try to do everything at once – set small targets that you can easily achieve

  • Do not focus on the things you cannot change – focus your time and energy into helping yourself feel better

  • Do not avoid situations that make you anxious – try slowly building up time spent in worrying situations to gradually reduce anxiety
  • Try not to tell yourself that you're alone; most people experience anxiety or fear at some point in their life
  • Try not to use alcohol, cigarettes, gambling or drugs to relieve anxiety as these can all contribute to poor mental health
