Hi I'm really new to this & really don't know to put this. Here goes...... I've suffered with depression and massive anxiety issues since having my 1st daughter 2010 but just lately my anxiety seems to be massively increasing and I see to think everyone is judging me & whispering behind my back usually at work & I really don't know what to do

Hello @Samparky87 Pleased to meet you.
Thank you for joining and sharing.
I am sorry to hear this you have come to the right place for friendship and support.
I am one of the team of Community Champions. We guide and support advise members.
Understand everything your telling me. I have anxiety and do know there is help out there for you.
Please if I can suggest the following.
These are mental health charities . Offer floating support, advice, guidance and information on your issues.
Also benefit advice and support, filling in forms and attending assessments.
Anything else such as housing or employment issues other health issues.

https://www.mind.org.uk.

Please you can self refer or speak to your GP. Might not be in all areas.
Please can I also one further point you may wish to know.
Please speak to your GP about anything like this they are very supportive and help you.
The other one is nutritional advice and diet.
Anxiety avoid all caffeine, Coffee, Tea, Cola, Chocolate and alcohol all times these effect mental state. Considered stimulants.
More you consume the more your anxiety increases.
Eat plenty of whole grains, Bread Pasta, Rice, Pulses and Beans. Lean Meat , Eggs, Nuts. Leafy greens Spinach Broccoli, Kale.
Vegetables and Fruit. There is a chemical in certain foods called Tryptophan. This helps with sleep and relaxation. Milky warm with honey stirred in to helps sleep.
Is an example of one as some of the foods I have listed.
Other ones are Yoghurt with added bacteria culture helps calm down stomach and water ice cold.
Missed meals lack of appetite is a problem so eat a good breakfast.
Porridge oats with Banana helps or with fruit or nuts. Small meals and snacks Bake Beans on toast for energy.
PNB sandwich whole meal bread, Soup vegetable ones.
If you have allergies or food intolerances consult your GP.
One of the aspects of enrolling in a mental health charity is to help you not only with your issues.
Looking at diet, discussions with Sleep, Medication and Wellbeing including therapies and alternatives.
One of the things I use is meditation a lot of this can be found on line. Most charities offer coping methods and strategies to educate and learn from.
Including this some thing I do have the Classic FM radio on, proven to soothing, calming. Eases Stress.
Stress and anxiety are compatible. Make a place for comfort. I was taught to create a comfort box. Favourite poems, books, music the things help you.
My recipes is one use muscle soak foam bath scented candles. Avoid if you can situations cause anxiety. Need to talk to some one is very important to address the problems.
Make a diary make notes of how you are and feeling, does help.
Why these charities a god send and you also meet others like yourself. Which does become a great relief and reassurance.
Please if I can help with any thing further please ask any questions.
Please take care.
