These phrases can mean a lot to someone with anxiety.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThey’re, often too afraid to bring up anxiety-related topics because they believe their anxiety makes it hard to talk to them or difficult to be around So hearing.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis is incredibly reassuring.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIt helps to make them feel encouraged, so they can bring it up without hesitation in the future.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis makes it feel like whoever’s.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nListening truly cares about what they have to say, and it makes them want to return the favor whenever you may need to talk Two.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhat can I do to help you Do their plants need watering? Is there anything they’re craving for lunch Ask the person in distress. What might help you’re, letting them take? Control of the situation.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAsk them to get creative.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThey can Keep in mind, though, that some people can become more anxious in the wake of decision-making, Sometimes it can feel like one more thing to worry about, but it still gives them a chance to ask for anything.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pexels.com\/photos\/9818998\/pexels-photo-9818998.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;h=650&amp;w=940\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThey might need Number three hey. Let’s go for a walk, we can talk about it or we can just get some fresh air.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nA change of environment is a choice tool for interrupting the cycle of anxiety.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIt distracts the brain from its worries Focusing on the world around, helps, create distance between the person and their thoughts, which ultimately makes it easier to talk about and to let go If they don’t feel like talking at least they’ll have something else To occupy their mind with Number four: is it okay? If I hug you, Consent is key, Even when it comes to hugs hands, holding, and other innocent touches.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThey can all be triggering to someone with anxiety.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nPlus there are a lot of people who just don’t like to be touched, So it’s always important to ask first.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSometimes a hug can be incredibly comforting during a difficult time like a physical reminder that you’re not alone.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDuring extreme anxiety, though, being touched, can make one feel trapped and claustrophobic, So it’s always appreciated when someone asks before going in for a hug, It reminds them that they’re in control of the conversation Number five, I’m here, for you, no matter what is happening If you’re, going to offer to be there for someone who battles anxiety, be honest about what you’re, able to do or be ready to be open to whatever comes your way, It’s nice to hear that someone is On their side, but it can’t help if the encouragement is conditional To promise support only to disappear when things get tough, can make it difficult to trust those who make this pledge.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIt can make them wary of such promises in the future when they have ample evidence backing their hesitations.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAuthentic support is especially reassuring when you’re able to give it unconditionally building their trust and self-esteem.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNumber six would be advice, be helpful, or should I just listen Hugging joking, and advice, giving might be your first instinct when you see someone you love in distress, but people with anxiety sometimes feel overwhelmed and even intimidated by the constant fire of suggestions, And they can react Intensely when someone starts spouting out suggestions before they’ve even had a chance to finish talking, It might be hard, but you have to fight the urge to be a friend sometimes Instead, asking this question puts the person with anxiety in control of what happens next, Which in itself may relieve some of their anxious edge And number seven, I don’t know what to say, but I’m here, for you Honesty is always the best policy. Anxiety can be a difficult subject matter, So it’s.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nOkay, if you don’t know what to say or how to react Honestly, sometimes even they don’t know what to say, but it’s refreshing and reassuring to be genuine.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDuring such a vulnerable conversation, Friends and family have admitted that they fear, saying the wrong thing or making situations worse, but that the important thing for them – isn, ‘t always what you say but to let them know that you’re there for them.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNo matter what We hope, we were able to give you a little insight into some of the ways that you can show your support to those living with anxiety.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIf you suffer from anxiety, how do you feel about the points mentioned in this video?
