Understanding Anxiety: Navigating Through the Fog


A Closer Look at Anxiety

Imagine you're walking through a thick fog, where each step is uncertain and filled with a sense of dread about the unknown. That's what living with anxiety can often feel like. It's a fear of the future, a worry about things that haven't happened yet but might. Your brain, in its quest to protect you, constantly searches your past for clues on how to react to present situations. When it expects a negative outcome, it triggers a fight, flee, or freeze response. This ongoing state can leave you feeling perpetually threatened and unsafe, turning even simple daily tasks into overwhelming hurdles. Worries that were once manageable suddenly become overwhelming, infiltrating every aspect of your daily routine and relationships. If this sounds familiar, if you find yourself struggling to juggle work responsibilities or maintain healthy connections due to the weight of these anxious feelings, then it's time for some much-needed support.


Recognising the Signs of Anxiety

Let's talk about the signs that anxiety might be getting a grip on you. You might notice:

  • Physical symptoms like fatigue, restlessness, or irritability.

  • Your hands might shake, or you could feel dizzy and sweat more than usual.

  • Making decisions or concentrating can become unexpectedly tough.

  • Sleep might elude you, affecting your overall well-being.

  • Constant worry about past mistakes or future disasters.

  • Ever felt your mouth go dry when you're anxious?

  • Unexpected pins and needles sensations.

  • Your heart might race or you could find it hard to catch your breath in anxious moments.
