Are You Feeling Anxious or Low? Talk to Our Doctors Today!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

It's great that you reached out about your feelings of low self-esteem, stress, and anxiety. I recommend considering counseling or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as these approaches can be very effective. You can self-refer to a local therapist or mental health professional who specializes in these areas.

Additionally, medication may also be beneficial, but it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to discuss your specific situation and determine what might work best for you.

In the meantime, there are several self-care strategies you can try. Practices such as meditation and yoga can help calm your mind and reduce stress. Regular exercise is also a powerful way to boost your mood and overall well-being. Incorporating positive affirmations into your daily routine can help shift your mindset and improve your self-esteem.

Finally, journaling can be a helpful tool. Writing down your thoughts and feelings allows you to reflect and better identify the triggers that contribute to your anxiety and stress. By recognizing these patterns, you can work on addressing them more effectively.

Thanks
