Frequently Asked Questions
Techniques
How do I know which technique to use?
Choose by what feels possible right now. Try breathing for a steady rhythm, grounding or Sensory Reset when you need something concrete, Worry Sort for one repeated worry, or Quick Tips when a longer exercise feels like too much.
How often should I use the techniques?
Use them when they feel useful. You can also try a technique during a steadier moment so the steps feel familiar later.
Are these techniques medical advice?
No. Anxiety Pal offers practical support steps. It does not provide medical care, assess risk, replace professional support, or promise outcomes.
Using Anxiety Pal
Do I need an account?
No. Core techniques work without an account. Sign in only if you want saved progress, a private Safety Plan, and a profile you can return to.
Can I use Anxiety Pal on my phone?
Yes. Anxiety Pal works in a browser on desktop or mobile. On supported devices, you can also add it to your home screen.
More support
What if the techniques are not enough?
Use support outside the app. That might mean contacting a trusted person, speaking with a professional, or using the sourced links on the Support Resources page.
Where should I go in an emergency?
If life is at risk or someone cannot stay safe, use local emergency services now. Anxiety Pal cannot contact emergency services, trusted people, or support organisations for you.
