Anxiety isn’t just nerves. It’s a real, diagnosable mental health condition that affects how you think, feel, sleep, and interact with the world. Some people feel constantly on edge. Others live with racing thoughts, tightness in their chest, or a sense that something bad is always about to happen—even when everything seems fine.
Anxiety is diagnosed when someone experiences excessive worry, fear, or physical symptoms like restlessness, irritability, poor sleep, or difficulty concentrating—more days than not, for at least six months. But even short-term or situation-specific anxiety can seriously affect your wellbeing.
You don’t need to have panic attacks or feel completely overwhelmed to benefit from support. High-functioning anxiety—where you seem calm on the outside but feel constantly tense inside—is just as valid.
Anxiety is treatable. With the right strategies and support, you can train your brain to respond differently and start feeling more calm, clear, and in control again.
