Self-care is important for emotional wellness. Chronic stress and fear can eventually lead to anxiety. Which, if allowed to fester and grow, becomes a full-fledged depression in the long run.
Here are a few tips to deal with chronic anxiety:
Talk to a friend who empathises with you, whenever you feel stressed. Or spend time with your loved ones.
Write down and vent your feelings and thoughts. Don’t hold back. Pour it out. Writing down also allows you to release pent-up stress and anxiety.
