Many of us experience anxiety from time to time due to challenging and stressful situations that are occurring in our lives. Sometimes this anxiety becomes too overwhelming. Sometimes this anxiety takes over our thoughts and behaviors. And then we find this anxiety influencing other areas of our lives, such as our relationships, our career, and with our family.
Anxiety can feel like an overwhelming sense of fear and discomfort when it is experienced. Some people describe anxiety as overwhelming thoughts and emotions while others experience anxiety in the form of physical feelings, such as racing heart and chest tightening.
Still others describe anxiety as constant rumination where they can’t stop thinking about something or they replay a specific thought, situation, or interaction over and over in their mind expecting they should have done something different. Anxiety can sometimes feel like every aspect of your life is out of control.
Anxiety can be difficult to manage on your own. Anxiety can make you feel uncomfortable both physically and emotionally. Those who experience anxiety mention how much they want to be more in control of their thoughts and behaviors. How they want to learn how to cope with their anxiety, so it doesn’t create such an impact on their life.
