If you have just started using social media as a marketing tool, you might have the idea that a few posts, blog content and a good number of followers and likes will take your business to the next level. The truth is, it takes serious marketing, planning and dedication to get your brand recognised, let alone liked by audiences.

Anxiety can be confusing for someone who hasn’t experienced it themselves. So, you may not know what’s appropriate to say or do. I don’t have all the answers, but what I do have is experience. Here are the six things I would have wanted people in my life to have said or done for me when I was going through intense anxiety.
