Anxiety

2021632709It feels like you’re stuck in a trap.

You can’t escape the intense worry and fear about everyday situations.

It’s overwhelming…

It’s debilitating…

And it’s scary when you feel like you can’t escape the intensity of everyday situations – like you’re completely out of control.

You worry incessantly, which can escalate into panic at any moment. And when it does, there’s nothing you can tell yourself to make it go away. No matter how rational you try to be, anxiety doesn’t respond to reason.

It might be so bad that you’re afraid to be out in public, and you don’t want friends and family to see you like this.

You may think you understand the origin of your anxiety.

Anxiety can come from stressful life events like a job change, life transition, family or relational problem, traumatic experience, abuse or violence, or the loss of a loved one or pet.

But anxiety is rarely a surface-level issue and commonly has roots in adolescence or childhood.

And past distressing events can keep your brain stuck in what’s called “fight or flight,” causing your mind to feel like it’s always in danger (even when you KNOW you’re perfectly safe).

To resolve these feelings, you’ll need help.

You’re getting bucked all over the place as you scramble for a way to make it off the ride safely.

And, as you know, anxiety causes lots of different symptoms…

It may make you feel restless or wound up, make it hard to sleep, zap your energy, make it hard to focus, keep you irritated, or cause physical symptoms like headaches and stomach pain.

Or the thoughts might be so hard to control that constant worry transforms into fear and obsession.

When you think there’s danger lurking around every corner, it’s impossible to live your best life.

Thankfully, anxiety is very treatable.
