About My Anxiety World
My Anxiety World exists because anxiety is hard — and finding honest, practical information about it shouldn’t be.
This site was built by Anthony Caroleo. I’m not a therapist or a clinician. What I am is someone who has lived with anxiety personally, and who has spent years by the side of a partner navigating it every single day. I’ve seen what it does — the 3am spirals, the cancelled plans, the invisible weight that people carry while the rest of the world carries on.
When I started looking for help, I found a lot of clinical language, a lot of vague reassurance, and very little that felt real. So I built the resource I wish had existed: a site that speaks plainly, takes you seriously, and focuses on what actually helps.
What You’ll Find Here
My Anxiety World covers the full picture of living with anxiety — not just what it is, but what it feels like, and what you can do about it.
- Understanding Anxiety — what’s happening in your body and mind, and why
- Coping Strategies — practical, evidence-based techniques for day-to-day life
- Panic Attacks — what triggers them, how to manage them, how to recover
- Social Anxiety — relationships, work, and showing up in the world
- Therapy & Treatment — what’s available, what works, and how to access it
- Apps & Tools — honest reviews of the tools designed to support your mental health
Every article is written to be useful — not just informative. We reference NHS guidance, NICE recommendations, and peer-reviewed research, and we’re always clear about what’s evidence-based and what’s personal experience.
