You can address feelings of anxiety and depression by talking openly with a doctor or mental health professional who can assess your symptoms and guide you toward safe and effective treatments, and while waiting for professional support it may help to maintain a regular sleep schedule, stay physically active with light exercise, limit caffeine and alcohol, connect with supportive friends or family, practice simple relaxation techniques like slow breathing, and avoid isolating yourself, but if you ever experience thoughts of self harm or feel unable to cope you should seek immediate help from a healthcare provider or emergency service.
