Signs you might be experiencing anxiety  

No two people experience anxiety in exactly the same way. These questions could indicate you might benefit from therapy for anxiety.

• Do you find it hard to relax, even in moments of relative calm?
• Do you find it hard to control or stop your worrying?
• After talking with someone, do you often replay the conversation and fixate on what you could have done differently?
• Do you feel worried or anxious more days than not?
• When plans suddenly change is it hard for you to go with the flow?
• Are you always running from one activity to the next just to try to keep your thoughts from racing?
• Do your thoughts make it hard to focus?
• Do you struggle with constant “what if” thoughts?”

If this sounds like you, contact us today so you can start feeling like yourself again.

What is anxiety? 

Anxiety can feel like a worry you just can’t shake.

Anxiety can show up as a constant sense of worry, overthinking, or feeling on edge — even when nothing is obviously wrong. You might notice your mind racing through “what ifs,” your body feeling tense, or a sense that it’s hard to fully relax or be present.

For a lot of young professionals, anxiety can be tied to things like work pressure, relationships, big decisions, or trying to keep everything together. With the right support, you can learn ways to manage those thoughts and feelings so they don’t take over your day, and start feeling more grounded, confident, and like yourself again.

Symptoms of anxiety 

Anxiety can make you fearful, on-edge and cause you to avoid the types of challenges and experiences that create fulfilling life. Symptoms of anxiety include:

• Excessive worry, restlessness, or feeling nervous or on edge.
• Exhaustion, trouble sleeping and loss of appetite.
• Difficulty concentrating or controlling racing thoughts.
• Staying away from people, places or activities that may trigger anxious feelings
