Hi, have you got a minute for a quick chat later?
Your hands are shaking too much to send.
Breathe with the circle. Tap it when it's at its biggest — three times.
What did that feel like?
The task was tiny. The noise around it was not.
Anxiety turns small, everyday things into threats. Your body reacts as if something is really wrong — racing heart, tight chest — and your mind goes looking for the reason.
Asking "are you sure?" over and over is called reassurance-seeking. It brings a moment of relief, then the doubt comes back.
Around 6 in 100 people in England are living with generalised anxiety disorder in any given week.
How a Kintota support worker helps
- Being a calm, steady person to do the scary thing alongside — a phone call, a bus journey, an appointment.
- Practising grounding and breathing together, so it is there when it is needed.
- Breaking big days into small, doable steps.
Could you be the difference?
