Topic Tuesday// Managing your anxiety during uncertain times - with WayAhead // Tues 25th August, 7-8:30PM AEST

Anxiety is a normal and natural reaction everyone experiences from time to time. Anxiety can become a problem and develops into different types of anxiety disorders for many when it affects how we want to live our lives. With the right support, we can learn to manage our anxiety and live meaningful and fulfilling lives.

For this month’s Topic Tuesday, we will be having a special guest from WayAhead coming to discuss all things related to anxiety and how we can manage our anxiety during uncertain times.

I'm new here - what is this?

The event runs from 7pm - 8.30pm AEST on the 25th of August. Each month we focus on a different topic, with the session facilitated by a Community Manager or Moderator.

The first post of the thread (this one) will give you an idea of what the topic is and what will be covered.

How do I get involved?

Our text-based event takes place right here! As it is text-based, no software is needed. During the session, to keep up with the latest posts hit the 'refresh' button on your browser for the latest posts (it doesn't automatically update). Keep an eye for page numbers at the top & bottom of the page, and jump to the highest page number for the most recent post.

Throughout the session, the facilitator will put questions out for you to answer, usually asking for your own experience on the topic. To contribute to the event, just hit the 'reply' button and share your thoughts. No answers are right or wrong, and everyone is welcome to get involved!

Alrighty everyone! We will kick off tonight’s discussion with the first discussion point -

Every year, around 14% of all adult Australians are affected by an anxiety disorder (SANE Australia, 2018).

What is anxiety? And what do you think are the main differences between feeling anxious and having an anxiety disorder?

Hi Peony
15min in and we've seen only a couple of texts from the guest. Is that how it is supposed to work?

Oh, that's a shame. I thought someone would be speaking and we would be able to ask questions and share.
