What should I do now?
Although it is a natural emotion, sometimes anxiety can become very difficult to manage and control. It can have a very large negative effect on quality of life if it is left ignored and untreated.

If you are unable to speak to a health professional, you can try speaking to a trusted family member or friend about your symptoms to see if they can support you whilst you look for professional help.
