Anxiety

Anxiety can mean nervousness, worry, or self-doubt. While anxiety can be a relay of important information about your surroundings sometimes, the cause of anxiety is hard to spot. Everyone feels some level of anxiety once in a while. But overwhelming, recurring, or “out of nowhere” dread can be profoundly impactful or even unbearable. When anxiety interferes like this, talking to a therapist can help.

People can show signs of anxiety in many ways. Some may become more talkative, battle repetitive thoughts in their minds privately, withdraw, or self-isolate. Even people who seem outgoing, friendly, or fearless can have anxiety. Since anxiety has many symptoms it may appear different from one person to the next. Regardless of why you are anxious or how it makes you feel or act, this is no way to live. You deserve to live a life free from the burden of excessive anxiety.
