* Consider therapy to help you feel less alone in your journey
Manage stress levels:

* Try meditation or mindfulness practices
* Consider massage or biofeedback techniques
Find peer support:

If anxiety or depression is disrupting your daily life or causing thoughts of self-harm, it's especially important to reach out for professional help right away.
