Be a source of encouragement. Everyone needs encouragement, especially when dealing with anxiety and contributing factors. Write a thoughtful note, make a small gift, write down positive quotes or do something special for your friend to let her/him know you are there for them.
Plan calming, stress-free activities. Dealing with anxiety can feel lonely so try planning activities that are calming, like hiking, getting a pedicure or painting pottery, just to name a few.
Keep in contact. In any situation, it’s important to have a friend that you can trust and confide in. Give your friend a call every few days or so to say, "Hi.", and see how they are doing.
