Anyone here have this certification? After 1.5 years doing help desk/tech support, I'm trying to think of a good direction for my career, and I'm leaning towards the infosec direction (mostly because I think that's about the only direction I can go at my current small company). 
I've heard the Security+ exam is pretty tough. Can anyone recommend training courses/practice exams/etc that were beneficial, or general tips?

It is extremely tough.  I use a combination of professer messer videos on YouTube, their study groups, and one of the books on the subject that Comptia recommended.  I was certain I had failed while taking the exam, but I made it through.

I know it's been a while, but I get nervous about the Security+ exam. It can feel overwhelming at first, but trust me, you'll be just fine with the proper prep. Breaking down the topics into bite-sized pieces helped me. Focus on critical areas like networking, compliance, and threats.
Also, practicing with sample questions was a game-changer. It gets you used to the exam format, which can take a load off your shoulders. There are many excellent study guides, so don't hesitate to lean on those.
To boost your skills even more, consider checking out the AgilePM Certification. It offers a fresh perspective on project management that could complement your security knowledge nicely.
