Anxiety

Anxiety is a normal emotion that everyone has. It warns us of the possibility of danger and urges us to be cautious. However some people feel more of it than others; & over time it can begin to haunt people. Anxiety begins to be frustrating. Intimidating. Tricky. Dreadful. Facing these constant danger signals is exhausting & can be quite detrimental to the desire for an enjoyable life.
Anxiety can be brought on by an array of things, these may include: memories of an event, a specific phobia, a sensation in your body, social situations, or uncertainty. Many times people with anxiety issues find themselves caught in a pattern where they feel anxious & are coping by avoiding the thing that is making them feel this way. People do get relief with this strategy & so they find themselves using it again and again. However, avoidance becomes their kryptonite & their world starts to get smaller & less meaningful. This can feel like a cycle that repeats itself.Many people describe feeling trapped in this whirlwind of anxiety, where they are aware the fears are possibly inaccurate & feel uncertain about something going wrong at the same time.
