We're in this Together: Our anxiety and how we live with it

Feeling Anxious? You're Not Alone (And You're Not Broken!)This book is for anyone who has ever felt their heart race for no apparent reason, overanalysed a text message for an hour, or convinced themselves they had a rare tropical disease (despite never having left the country). Whether you've just been diagnosed with anxiety or you've been its reluctant companion for years, this book has something for you.If you're feeling overwhelmed but haven't sought help yet-please do! Anxiety is a real, treatable condition, not just "nerves" or "overthinking" (despite what well-meaning but utterly unhelpful people might say). Seeking professional support is a game-changer, and this book will walk you through that, along with many other practical strategies to help you manage anxiety and reclaim your life.What's Inside?What anxiety really is (spoiler: it's not a personal failing, and you're not alone).How to identify your anxiety triggers so you can stop getting ambushed by them.Coping techniques that actually work-like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness (yes, they sound a bit fluffy, but trust me, they help).How Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help rewire those pesky anxious thoughts.The truth about medication-what it can (and can't) do for anxiety.Long-term strategies for staying on top of anxiety without letting it take the driver's seat.Along the way, you'll find real-life case studies, practical tools, and-because anxiety can be downright ridiculous at times-a good dose of humour. After all, if you can't laugh at your own brain convincing you that you offended someone by saying "thank you" the wrong way, what can you do?This book isn't about "curing" anxiety (if only it were that easy), but it will help you understand it, manage it, and even find moments of peace amidst the chaos. And if all else fails, at least you'll know you're not the only one who's Googled "can anxiety actually kill me?" at 3 AM.
