| Have you ever felt as if you were running a race without ever leaving your seat? Have you ever found yourself trapped in a state of worrying or being stressed out about some issue, or a major life-changing event like switching careers or a looming relationship problem?
Intense anxiety can feel overwhelming, consuming, and hard to escape. It can take your breath away with zero effort and leave you feeling completely exhausted. When anxiety is constant or overwhelming - when worries and fears interfere with your relationships and daily life — you’ve likely crossed the line from normal anxiety into something more intense and problematic.
One of the ways through could be talking about your own worries. Another way could be practicing mindfulness. Sometimes, getting professional help is the fastest way to emotional freedom. Recognize that some anxiety is always a part of your life, but it shouldn’t overtake your day-to-day activities. Even the most extreme anxiety disorders can be treated so that the symptoms aren’t overwhelming. Once you find what treatment works best for you, life should be a lot more enjoyable and a lot less discouraging. Small steps lead to big results. Trust that you are on your way. |
