What Is Anxiety?

The consistent tendency to worry excessively is one of the core traits of anxiety. When anxiety becomes overstimulating, it can be very difficult to lead a normal and healthy professional or personal life. Occasionally, feeling nervous is a different thing, but chronic anxiety can take over, affecting your thoughts, your sleep, your relationships, and your ability to enjoy life. Remember, anxiety is not a flaw; it's your brain trying to protect you, even when it’s not needed. When anxiety becomes maladaptive, it typically stems from a protective mechanism your brained learned while you were growing up. To learn new ways of thinking and to get your zest for life back, seek therapy and get your spark back.

Struggling with anxiety symptoms eats up energy, which can make an individual feel sluggish towards daily tasks. If you're looking for support to regulate your anxiety, try reaching out to a local anxiety counselor near you at Mental Health NW.
