Anxiety

Is anxiety holding you back from leading a fulfilling life?

You can picture the life you want to live, but you can’t seem to get there. Some days just getting out of bed to face the world is overwhelming. Once you wake up you know you’ll have to face the day, but you just feel exhausted. As your mind is going a mile a minute, there are times when you don’t even know what you’re worried about. You wish you could “turn off” your brain for a while and rest. It feels like your mind is a tangle of thoughts. You’ve heard about therapy for anxiety but aren’t sure if that will help.

Paralyzing fear and constant worry are holding you back

Perhaps you used to be more carefree. You used to go out into the world and live your life without constant worries nagging you. You might not even recognize the person you are now. The simplest tasks have become mountains that feel impossible to climb. Or perhaps you’ve been living with these struggles for as long as you can remember. You feel trapped by your thoughts and fears. In moments of frustration, you feel weak and helpless.

Nothing seems to relieve your anxiety

You’ve tried to keep everything under control, but now you notice your anxiety bleeding into other areas of your life. You realize that anxiety has started to impact your:

• Relationships with loved ones
• Ability to parent
• Self-esteem
• Work/school performance
• Concentration
• Motivation
• Physical health

Maybe you’ve already tried to figure out how to make things better. Everything you try seems to fail. Or maybe you have no idea where to start. As you try to push through, success feels farther and farther away. Frustrated, you wonder:

• Why do I have anxiety?
• I used to be able to do more. Why are even the simplest tasks so difficult?
• Other people don’t seem to struggle with anxiety. Why am I the only one?
• How can I shake anxious feelings off? Nothing seems to work.
• Will I always be this anxious?

Did you know that many people who experience anxiety don’t know exactly what it is until they speak to a mental health professional? The signs of anxiety can be confusing and are often labeled as stress, needless worry, or emotional instability. The indicators of anxiety can also be mistaken for mysterious symptoms* without a cause, such as stomach aches, trouble concentrating, and sleep issues. The truth is that anxiety manifests itself in different ways and does not feel the same for everyone.
