Anxiety is exhausting. The racing heart, the 3am worry spirals, the constant “what ifs…?” – it can feel like this is just your life now. 💔 It doesn’t have to be.

Anxiety UK therapy services are here if you’re:
Tired of panic and dread running your day 😣
Avoiding the things you want to do because anxiety says “no” 🚫
Smiling on the outside while you’re struggling inside 🎭

Our therapists understand anxiety & use evidence‑based approaches, to provide high quality support.💚

📲 Online GP consultation forms: easier first steps… but not for everyone.

For many of us living with anxiety or depression, asking for help can feel like the hardest part.
This new blog by Dr Charlotte Archer (University of Bristol) explores how online GP forms can both open doors and create new barriers.

🧠 What the study found:
✍️ Online forms can give people space to think and put difficult feelings into words
🤐 But some hold back, unsure who will read their answers or how their information is handled
😵‍💫 Symptoms e.g. low motivation, poor concentration & overwhelm can make form‑filling harder
⚠️ Practitioners worry about missing risk when very little is written, and about losing continuity of care
💡 Key message: choice matters.
Online tools can help many of us take that first step, especially if phone calls feel impossible – but they should be one option, not the only route to support.

***Taking place tomorrow***
🗓️ Join us this July for our monthly Anxiety Support Group. This month we're focusing on something that affects so many but is rarely talked about: anxiety and toilet-related fears 🚽

Whether you experience:
🔹 Shy bladder or bowel syndrome
🔹 Fear of using public toilets
🔹 Anxiety about not being close enough to a toilet
🔹 Or any other toilet-related worry
You're not alone and you don't have to suffer in silence 💙

Joining this session will be Jenny Beckman - a researcher and therapist, and someone with her own lived experience of these issues, which means she truly understands what you're going through, not just professionally, but personally.

This is a safe, welcoming space to talk openly with people who get it— no judgement, just understanding and support.

📅 Thurs 30th July 🕐 2pm 💻 via Zoom

👉 Save your space today: https://t.co/ikSetrBuI2
