Anxiety
Do you worry constantly or think too much? Is anxiety spoiling your life? Do you want it all to STOP?
Everyone worries from time to time, and that’s fine. A small amount of worry is useful and healthy, because it can help you to focus. But some people worry and fret more than others. Worry is a mental thing. It’s the niggling thoughts, and the churning of things over in your mind – the feeling bothered by thoughts that trouble you. Sometimes this gets out of control.
Anxiety is when you feel abnormally tense, worried and apprehensive about lots of different things, even when there is no need to be.
Are you troubled by some of these symptoms?
-
feeling on edge and tense
-
very fast or very slow heart beat
-
blocked throat
-
feeling sick,
-
feeling as if you could faint,
-
stomach churning,
-
pins and needles,
-
fast breathing
-
feeling that you can’t breathe
-
feeling as if you are detached and separate from everyone and everything
-
stomach churning
-
rashes and spots
-
churning things over and over in your mind
-
constantly worrying about what might or might not happen, and how you could be affected in a negative way.
These are some of the most common symptoms that you might experience if your levels of stress and anxiety are at an unusually high level, or if you have an anxiety disorder, that is, when the symptoms you experience start to affect your day to day life.
You may be convinced that there is something medically wrong, or that you are mentally ill, but the way that you feel is much more likely to be the result of an overworked nervous system. However, your doctor will be able to check that there is no other reason for your symptoms.
