Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety can feel like a persistent, unwelcome presence in your life. While it’s a normal part of human experience, it can sometimes become overwhelming and interfere with daily functioning. Anxiety manifests in various forms:
- Generalised Anxiety: This type involves ongoing worry about numerous aspects of life, often without a specific cause.
- Panic Disorder: Characterised by sudden, intense episodes known as panic attacks, where you may experience a racing heart and a sense of losing control.
- Social Anxiety: The fear of being judged or embarrassed in social situations.
- Phobias: Intense, irrational fears of specific objects or situations, such as flying or spiders.
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Involves distressing thoughts that compel you to perform repetitive actions to alleviate anxiety.
Signs and Symptoms
Anxiety presents with various symptoms:
- Excessive Worry: Constant preoccupation with problems, big or small.
- Restlessness: A feeling of being on edge and difficulty relaxing.
- Muscle Tension: Persistent physical tightness or discomfort.
- Irritability: Increased sensitivity and impatience.
- Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling or staying asleep.
- Concentration Issues: Trouble focusing on tasks.
