Below you will find information on Anxiety Symptoms
Worrying about things is certainly a part of being human. But when that worrying becomes excessive and is impacting other levels of your life, you may be suffering from Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a mental illness where worrying is constant and exaggerated, even though nothing seems to provoke it at times. Having this disorder means always anticipating disaster, often worrying excessively about health, money, family, or work. Sometimes, you may find yourself worrying without even knowing what it is you are worrying about. Worrying to the point that it is excessive may sometimes be difficult to determine. You may feel that your worrying is completely justified. Getting the opinions of those close to you about whether they feel your worries are "valid" or not can be very beneficial and eye-opening.
Those with Generalized Anxiety Disorder don't seem to be able to put their concerns aside, and are unable to relax. They often have trouble with falling or staying asleep. Their worries are accompanied by physical symptoms, including but not limited to trembling, shaking, tense muscles, headaches, or sweating. They may feel lightheaded or short of breath. These feelings of anxiety can be very draining, and often leave the person to feel very tired.
If you are concerned that your level of anxiety may be impacting other areas of your life, please seek medical advice/treatment immediately. Things can get better!
