Start Here

You do not need to understand everything today.

Start with the thing that is frightening or disrupting you most. Anxiety has a habit of making every sensation, thought and situation feel like a separate emergency. Most of the time, they are connected by the same cycle of fear, monitoring, avoidance and more fear.

This page will point you towards the clearest place to begin without asking you to read the whole bloody internet first.

Choose what feels closest

What are you struggling with right now?

You do not need to diagnose yourself first. Pick the description that sounds most like what is disrupting you today.

Panic attacks Racing heart, dizziness, breathlessness or fear of losing control. Constant worry Overthinking, anxious thoughts and never feeling properly at ease. Avoiding places or situations Travel, shops, crowds or situations you have become frightened to face. Health anxiety Worrying about symptoms, checking your body and fearing serious illness. Social anxiety Fear of judgement, embarrassment, attention or being watched. I can’t switch off Racing thoughts, physical tension, poor sleep and feeling permanently on edge. I need something practical now Audios, grounding and breathing tools for a difficult moment. I’m not sure I don’t know what this is. I just know I don’t feel right.
Still not sure?

Begin with the two guides that explain the machinery.

What Anxiety Actually Is explains the alarm response. The Anxiety Cycle shows how fear, monitoring, reassurance and avoidance keep feeding it. Together, they make most of the rest of the site easier to understand.
