Situations
Techniques for specific anxious moments
These pages describe techniques people commonly use in specific anxious moments — a panic attack, a social event, 3am worry, health worry, a hard week at work. They are informational, not treatment, and each one carries crisis lines at the top.
- Panic attacks: techniques people use in the momentWhat a panic attack is, the grounding and breathing people reach for during one, and when to get medical help.
- Social situations: techniques people use before, during and afterBefore the event, during it, and the post-mortem afterwards — plus where social anxiety stops being everyday nerves.
- Anxiety at night: what people do at 3amWhy worry is worse at night, the wind-down that helps, and what to do when you wake at 3am.
- Health worry and the checking loopWhy checking and reassurance-seeking feed the loop, what people do instead, and when to get help.
- Anxiety at work: things you can do without anyone noticingSilent breathing at a desk, pre-meeting grounding, Sunday dread, and when the job is the problem.
