Anxiety is a hard thing to live with. If we're not paying attention to it creeping into our lives, it's easy to just live with it - for years. We think it's just life, but in actuality, it can sap the energy we need to do what we can to create a life that feels satisfying, rich. Some clues that it's starting to impact your energy:
Nervousness, restlessness, being tense
Feelings of danger, panic, dread
Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
Increased or heavy sweating
Trembling or muscle twitching
Weakness or lethargy
Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other that the thing you're worried about
Insomnia
Obsessions about certain ideas; a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past; a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder
Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
