Managing Anxiety
Anxiety isn’t just in your head. It can take over your whole body, leaving you frozen or feeling like you’re constantly in overdrive. Whether it sneaks in quietly or hits like a wave, anxiety has a way of affecting everything, from your thoughts to your sleep to how your body feels.
You might:
-
feel like your body is constantly on high alert
-
have a sense of impending doom, leaving you frozen and unsure of what to do
-
feel your heart beating fast, hands sweaty, trouble speaking, or getting dizzy
Examples: Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Phobias, PTSD, OCD
