Anxiety Reset gives an assistant a short, bounded way to respond to someone who is spiraling, panicking, overthinking, or awake at 3am. It offers one practice at a time rather than stacking techniques, suggests a tentative way to name the loop the person is caught in, and refuses to keep supplying reassurance that briefly soothes and then wears off. It hands off rather than assessing: on any sign of crisis or a possible medical emergency it stops, says plainly that it is not the right tool, and directs the person to local emergency services and someone nearby. It names no specific emergency number, so the assistant can supply resources correct for the user. It administers or scores no psychological instrument, offers no diagnosis, and gives no medication guidance. Wellness support, not therapy, diagnosis, treatment or crisis care.

Skills 1
- anxiety-reset
Use for spiraling, panic, overthinking, racing thoughts, cannot sleep, a worry loop, catastrophizing, or health worry; also use when someone asks for an anxiety or depression test, questionnaire, screening, or score such as GAD-7, PHQ-9 or PSS-10, or asks to be diagnosed or assessed, so those requests get a consistent decline instead of an improvised one. Provides brief grounding and one bounded next step as wellness support, not therapy, diagnosis, treatment, assessment, or crisis care.
Things to ask
- “I'm spiraling and I can't slow my thoughts down.”
