Anxiety - Tips for helping a friend with anxiety

Hellooo!!! The Internet, Skyeina here. As many of you might know I have anxiety and I know others who also have it. Over the years, I have created a list of ways to help someone with anxiety.




1) Be there. JUST BE THERE. They just need to know there is somewhere to go or someone to see to help them when they feel anxious.

2) Don't judge them. If you do then they will feel something is wrong about them and become even more anxious.

3) Let them cry, give them a hug or two and even cry with them. This way they know you care and they can be themselves around you.

4) Listen. AS SIMPLE AS THAT LISTEN. Sometimes they need to talk to someone and maybe they want advice but most the time they just what to be able to get it off their shoulders.

5) If they are starting to have an anxiety attack; be there with them, breath deeply to calm them and just look into their eyes. This can make someone feel no-one is watching and take them to a calmer place.

Do guys want me to do an advice on anxiety attacks post??? 
LOTS OF LOVE,
SKYEINA,
XOX.
