Everyone is anxious sometimes.
Experiencing anxiety is a natural response to stress. It’s only when it becomes uncontrollable and impairs your quality of life that you need help.
New info alert! There’s a difference between feeling anxious and having anxiety. In fact, feeling anxious can be helpful if, say, you’re interviewing for a job and anxiety whispers, “Hey! Review your notes while you’re waiting.” That makes you want to keep anxiety on retainer for the next time you need it.
Having anxiety is a different story. In this case, anxiety invades your thoughts and scares you by telling lies of doom, gloom, and disaster. It’s uncontrollable and convinces you, without any evidence or proof, that the worst will happen.
This sort of anxiety can affect your whole life.
It makes you cancel a trip with friends because you’re scared of getting into a car accident. It convinces you to stay home alone instead of going to a party because you’re worried you’ll be rejected or ridiculed.
And it doesn’t just seize your thoughts; it also impacts your body. It steals your sleep, shortens your breath, and wrecks your concentration, so getting things done at work, school, and home is a monumental struggle.
Having anxiety leaves you under a constant cloud of worry and fear that disrupts your life. But it doesn’t have to.
