Anxiety
Are you spending most of your time feeling anxious or worried? Is your life overwhelming? Are feelings of fear and anxiety affecting your work, independence, and personal relationships? Have you stopped doing things or started avoiding situations because of your anxiety? Is your lack of confidence stopping you from meeting people, getting the job, or the life you want? Do you want to feel more relaxed and calm in all aspects of your life?
Anxiety and stress are a normal part of life, and in many instances it is very adaptive to feel fear, anxiety, and stress. For example, when faced with a life-threatening situation it is normal to feel anxiety and fear. However, when feelings of fear, anxiety, and stress become overwhelming and affect a person’s work, relationships, and quality of life then some type of treatment may be help.
Anxiety can take on many forms. If you have experienced some of these symptoms you may have an anxiety disorder
- Fear of possible scrutiny or being judged negatively by others. This fear may cause a person to avoid social situations completely, feel extremely shy.
- Excessively fear exposure to a specific object or situation
- Feeling very anxious or worried most of the time about many different things/situations
- Experience unexpected physical sensations such as: increased heart rate, chest pain, sweating, shaking, shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, feeling dizzy, fear of losing control, going crazy, or dying...etc.
- Fear being trapped in a place or situation
- Recurrent and distressful obsessions (thoughts) or compulsions (behaviors) that cause discomfort or anxiety. For example, a person may compulsively wash their hands, count or check items, and/or repeat words
Once identified anxiety disorders can be treated efficiently and effectively to help a person return to and improve the quality of their lives.
