What is Anxiety and what are Common Symptoms?
Anxiety is a natural emotional response characterized by feelings of unease, worry, and fear. It arises in various forms, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or specific phobias, reflecting an individual's unique experience in navigating life's uncertainties. Understanding anxiety is the first step toward addressing its impact on well-being.
Those experiencing anxiety that has become unmanageable often describe: A lost sense of self, strategies that were once helpful no longer working, feeling paralyzed, physical symptoms (including headaches, weight changes, illness and trouble sleeping), overthinking and replaying conversations and events in their head, second-guessing decisions, and feeling stuck and unable to move forward.
