What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is when you feel worried, stressed, or uneasy, even when there’s no danger. It can be like your mind and body are always on edge, making it hard to relax.
Everyone feels worried sometimes, but anxiety happens when these feelings become strong, constant, and hard to control.
How does Anxiety feel?
Anxiety can affect your body, mind, and spirit. You might notice:
- In your body: Feeling shaky, breathing fast, sweating, or your heart beating too quickly. You might feel tired but have trouble sleeping.
- In your thoughts: Worrying too much, feeling like something bad is going to happen, or having racing thoughts.
- In your actions: Avoiding people, places, or situations because they make you feel scared or stressed.
