Sorry to hear this, suffering anxiety.
I have joined recently and if I can advise you on seeking support from various organisations.
Mental health charities offer a lot of resources support and also one important thing you are getting help.
All charities offer floating support advice on wellbeing health and can signpost to relevant information and advice.
I had been using mental health charities a long time. Spend a lot of my time advising others.
Have wealth of knowledge, experience and qualifications in doing so.
Your not alone many people suffer anxiety including myself.
One concern is always keeping healthy and aware of your diet and nutrition.
Avoid caffeine in tea, coffee chocolate, no alcohol very much avoid.
Consume too much makes anxiety worse.
Also you need to take whole grains bread rice pasta. Pulses beans.
Fruit and vegetables plenty of lean meat Chicken and Turkey.
Hope that helps.
Mental health charities.

Might not be in all areas.
Please ask me any thing happy to chat be compassionate offer a lot of support.
Please take care
Pleasure to meet you.
My big tip is that I have found that listening to an audiobook really helps. I like to listen to comedy books just to feel like everything is not so serious and try and laugh to deflect away from my intrusive thoughts. I also find that exercise really helps. However I am currently recovering from Covid and for some reason my anxiety was worse than ever afterwards, I have awful palpitations regularly and even though I take a beta blocker for it I still feel like its a daily struggle.
If anyone has any tips I would love to hear from you. Sometimes just talking to other people in the same boat really helps Xx
