Re: I Might Have Generalised Anxiety??? - August 2nd 2017, 02:06 PM

It's good to have self-awareness of what might be troubling you, and do some research/take quizzes regarding anxiety. There's also nothing wrong with self-help like learning breathing techniques, ensuring you live a healthy life style (sleep, exercise etc), finding out what triggers you and challenging negative thoughts. You may want to try looking for CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) self-help programmes and see if they help at all. I'm unfamiliar with DHMS but hope that it helps you anyway!

That said, self-diagnosing is never a good idea and only a professional (doctor, psychiatrist or psychologist) can diagnose you. Despite obstacles, it can sometimes be more beneficial to work with a counsellor, even without a diagnosis. Feel free to tell us about what kind of issues you are facing when trying to get help for anxiety!
