Q1:
Learning about how anxiety can start, what is the best way we can react to it, and how we can help others in times of their anxiety.

Q2:
NIL

Q3:
Depression when your state of mind is always tired of being you as the main character. The mind needs rest day from being us.

Q4:
Keeping quiet and running some simulation of what is the better things to do in that situation.

Personally it does work for me since I don't usually have much time to let my emotion run wild.

Q5:
I would let the person pour everything out, and I would perk them to shout, rant or complain about their struggles to get at least a little bit off their mind as it seems to be always hiding in their mind and distracting them from the work in front of them.

Q6:
I think it is a good time for one to reflect on themselves about mental health when they are start to feel a state out emotion that can seem foreign to them and very sudden to them.

# data[].attributes.body
Q1. Understanding how anxiety is common nowadays & we should show concern to our peers when we notice they are feeling down in the appropriate way

Q2. I would turn to my family members, or friends who I really trust to share my concerns

Q3. Depression, Eating Disorders

Q4. I would listen to music everyday, study call with friends and reflect on how I can plan out my report to submit by the deadline

Q5. I offer my presence and let them know I will give a listening ear when they need somebody to talk to, be it through text messages or calls

Q6. I feel there wouldn't be any specific situations whereby one would solely focus on their mental health, it should always be a priority for individuals with their academics, family and friend commitments. Also one should love themselves and no one is perfect in this world as we all have flaws.

# data[].attributes.body
q1 the key takeaways for me is able to know which way is better to help my friend who felt anxiety rather than give them solution

# data[].attributes.body
Question 3:
- So far only: depression, anxiety, eating disorders, quite little about PTSD.

Question 4:
- Usually by reading, breathing, distracting myself from everything, try to forget and hide from anything that tries to make contact with me lols
OR my go-to method: expect disappointment huahuahua
- Quite effective though, got used to it and used it all the time when I was younger -- unfortunately got its negative effects sfashgsgsh

Question 5:
- Tell them it's normal to feel vulnerable its normal if they're not okay/fine. If they want to talk about it and want me to listen, I'll be there with an open mind and ears. If they want company, I'll make sure I can be there. If they just need to cry, I'll make sure my shoulder is all open and comfortable for them to cry on hohoho

qn 4: I doodled a lot and even wrote short poems when I stressed in secondary school. It helped because I could calm myself down. Basically keeping myself busy in an activity I like prevented me from having negative thoughts and making up bad scenarios in my mind.

# data[].attributes.body
The Key takeaway for me is the realization that there are different kinds of anxiety. I used to think that they were all similar or the same, but now I know better. Because of this, I am now better able to handle myself and others if they are going through similar things.

1) A key takeaway I had after this workshop was gaining knowledge on the 2 types of anxiety which is helpful anxiety and unhelpful anxiety & learning how to differentiate between the 2 types.

2) The best people I could turn to regarding my mental health would be my parents since they know me well, and a counsellor as they are professionally trained in the sector.

3) Depression, Obsessive-compulsive disorder & Post-traumatic stress disorder

4) I usually talk to my mom about my worries especially on school related issues. It was effective for me since my mom knows about me a lot, and she gave me many advices as well as guide me along the way with any problems I faced.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Learnt about the different types of anxiety and how we should properly help a friend or peer that is experiencing anxiety. It also helps better understand ourselves how we are really feeling. Also learnt of breathing techniques to calm the mind.

2. Siblings if not peers. It feels better when someone of your age can relate to you better.

3. Not too sure. Depression I guess? It seems to me like that would be the lowest of anyone's life.

4. In the past, I always just locked myself in a room and sit there and reflect. I don't usually explode or have a sudden outburst on anyone so I always took it on myself. It never really worked out well considering that I might find fault in myself even though that may not be the case. But usually, I forget about it after an hour or so.

5. I would try to understand their situation. Sit there and listen to what is happening to them (listener). Try to relate to them and maybe when he or she finishes talking, we could think of what he or she needs and what we could do to make the person him/herself feel better.

6. Suicidal thoughts is most extreme. Or frequent sadness.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Key takeaways would be how to manage our anxiety and stress. For example, the grounding technique and the finger tracing technique as well as the 3-3-3 rule. These are something new which is a key take away for me personally. Additionally, I also found the ways to comfort someone with an anxiety really helpful because it teaches me how to handle someone in the correct way when they have panic attacks and anxiety.

2) For me I would personally say my friends although the conventional answer would be family. Don't get me wrong but I really love my family a lot but I feel in terms of sharing daily struggles and issues in life, I tell more to my friends and they often given me comforting advice. Others would be seeking professional help like counsellors or school lecturers or any trusted adults.

3) schizophrenia, binge-eating disorder, depression etc.

4)In the past, I don't really have much stressors maybe cause I was young and enjoying life. Currently, I feel that my stress-coping mechanism would be to take walks in the parks, especially at night cause very relaxing and therapeutic.

5) Never give them false hope by saying ; everything is going to be ok... instead just be physically present , provide support by asking : is there anything i can do to help etc.. which was something we learnt today.

6) No specific situation, in all situations, one's mental health is important and one should never neglect their mental health. Self love and self care is important, because we need to love ourselves before we can love others :)

# data[].attributes.body
1. The key takeways were the ways to overcome anxiety in that moment of time - the grounding technique and 3-3-3 rule

2. Parents, mentors and close friends

3. Eating disorder

4. In the past, I would exercise frequently to relieve stress. I would think that it works only if there is no time constraint, or else, I would divert my attention to watch an episode of show/drama

5. First important thing to do would be to be a listening ear and ask how we should help them at that point of time.

6. I think it could vary from person to person the amount of stress they could be under, so the situations to focus on their mental health would vary as well

# data[].attributes.body

6. Usually during exam season and ESE season when projects and tasks are heavy and due soon, people should always take some time to relax and focus on themselves and their mental well-being

# data[].attributes.body
Q1: My key takeways from this workshop would understanding the difference between helpful and unhelpful anxiety. It is normal to feel anxious about different things so that we are motivated and drived to improve on ourselves. I learn that helpful anxiety is a derived from reasons and factors that support our feelings and thoughts. Unhelpful anxiety is a result of irrational thinking that causes ourselves to be worried undesired result of failures. This helps me to understand more about my feelings when I am feeling stressed and anxious about school. As a result, I know that I am doing mentally healthy. If not, I know how i can look for help from people around me to address this unhelpful anxiety.

Q2: Family members like my mum (good listening ear) and friends (advisor)

Q3: Bipolar mental disorder, depression, anorexia?

# data[].attributes.body
Q1. I learn that there's a difference between anxiety and anxiety disorder. Anxiety requires a specific trigger whereas anxiety disorders includes an intense or disproportionate emotional response.

Q3. Depression, stress eating disorder, DID, PTSD
Q4. I deal with stress and disappointment by either writing everything in my journal or talk to my family member abt it or my bff to rant out my stress.
