Anxiety comes in many forms, large and small. Sometimes anxiety seems to be connected to current or past traumatic situations. You may feel like stress and worry have completely torn your life apart. Alternatively, you may appear to be a complete success, but experience internal turmoil and struggle to find peace. There are many names commonly used for difficulties that involve anxiety, such as: stress, worry, nervousness, fear, panic, insomnia, OCD, PSTD, restlessness, irritability, among many others.
Although Common, Anxiety Can Become A Dangerous Enemy
It is widely known that things like stress, nervousness, difficulty sleeping and social anxiety have a great impact on many people today. Our culture values top performance, heavy workloads, and the push to achieve and acquire more. Even though we are increasingly aware of the disastrous impacts of prolonged stress on physical and mental health, many people are still stuck in a pattern of constant movement and scattered thoughts.
While countless people are familiar with fear, worry and stress, and could benefit from working with a therapist, others are struggling more intensely and truly need support. The level of stress or fear experienced on a day-to-day basis is quite excessive for a person with a mind plagued by anxiety. Perhaps friends or family members tell you to simply not worry, or to just let things go. These loved ones likely mean well, but may not understand the internal battle that anxiety creates.
Anxiety can allow situations and thoughts to spiral out of control, and is often accompanied by a cycle of sadness, frustration and isolation.
It can become a force within your life with the ability grow to the point where it is truly dangerous – limiting your life to a great extent and draining hope. Anxiety also leaves you unequipped for times when others around you are struggling or when life takes an unexpected turn. Breaking the cycle depends on you taking a proactive step. Anxiety treatment and counseling can prevent a downward spiral, offer relief and make a significant impact on your life and future.
