Hello! My name’s Amala, I’m a second-year Media, Communications and Cultural Studies student at Newcastle University. Welcome to my blog website ‘All About Anxiety.’<\/mark><\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who struggles with anxiety (specifically social & health anxiety), I know how isolating and difficult it can be to live with a mental illness. I believe it’s important that young people and students are given the correct support and means to deal with their mental health and I hope that, through this site, I can spread some awareness about anxiety and the available support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anxiety is ever-prevalent amongst University students, even more so due to the current economic, social and academic uncertainty. Statistics suggest that ‘those aged between 16-29 are most likely to have anxiety<\/strong>‘<\/mark><\/a>, ‘more than 1\/3 of university students struggle with their mental health’ at some point during their education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s because of their shocking statistics, and my own personal struggles with anxiety, that I’ve decided to make this platform ‘All About Anxiety.’ Through this site, I intend to explore the depths of the ‘anxiety crisis’ amongst young people, speaking with mental health ambassadors and students to uncover their opinions and experiences. I’ll also be covering local events and news relating to anxiety and hope to encourage a discussion about mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m aware that discussions of anxiety and mental health can be uncomfortable for some individuals and for that reason I feel that it’s important for me to emphasise that this site is ONLY meant to inform, support and raise awareness. If you feel that you might be triggered by anything on this website then please don’t feel that you have to read or participate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
