Anxiety is a normal emotion that everyone feels from time to time. You might feel anxious before a test, before speaking to a group of people, or before making a big decision, etc. However, for some people anxiety may feel overwhelming and out of control. When we are not able to manage our anxiety, it has gone beyond a healthy emotion. For these people, anxiety is not temporary. Anxiety never goes away and it gets worse over time and may lead to a panic attack. If this describes you, you may be dealing with an anxiety disorder.
Some common symptoms of anxiety are:
Feeling restless, wound-up, or on-edge
Being easily fatigued
Having difficulty concentrating; mind going blank
Being irritable
Having muscle tension
Difficulty controlling feelings of worry
Having sleep problems, such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, restlessness, or unsatisfying sleep
