Do I Have Anxiety?

Have you ever felt like your mind is constantly working, trying to solve problems before they even happen?

You may find yourself worrying, overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to hold everything together for everyone around you. Sometimes these patterns become so familiar that you may not even realize how much energy they are taking from you.

Many people who struggle with anxiety feel stuck in these patterns and wonder why their mind keeps returning to the same fears and worries.

Which of these questions feel most true for you right now?

• Does your mind constantly race with worry, overthinking, or fear, replaying worst-case scenarios you can’t shut off?

• Do you feel overwhelmed and burned out from juggling work, family, and everyone else’s needs while trying to hold everything together?

• Do you wake up feeling anxious or on edge, with a pit in your stomach, even when you’re not sure why?

• Do you feel constant pressure to do everything perfectly, at work, at home, and in your relationships, causing stress and mental fatigue?

• Do you worry endlessly about your kids, your future, or the state of the world, feeling powerless to stop the fear?

• Do sudden moments of panic, stress, or hormonal mood swings hijack your emotions, and leave you feeling out of control?

Recognizing these feelings can be the first step toward understanding what you have been carrying, and what may be the root of the sadness. Understanding what your younger self needed, can help you begin creating change.
