Helping women find positivity and confidence for getting (back) into to work
Anxiety can cause feelings in your mind and/or body of unease, worry or fear. Depression is feeling low. They can be brought on by things that happen in life and can also be a result of changes in body chemistry. Its not unusual to have both anxiety and depression.
We all have feelings of anxiety or low mood at times. They can be helpful indicators that we should make some changes to what we do or have we think about things or to focus more e.g. to help with exam anxiety. However, too much anxiety or low mood can be debilitating.
The good news is that they can be cured. Both types of feeling are often dealt with secretively but there are techniques to help you overcome these feeling - see the resources below. Its can also be worth sharing your thoughts with someone you trust who can help to give you another perspective on what you are feeling.
