Anxiety

Everyone experiences feelings of worry, nervousness and anticipation sometimes; that's anxiety. But have you ever felt like your feelings of anxiety are taking over your life? That your anxiety causes you to miss out on important moments, and rather than living in the moment you are often living inside the chaos of your own mind? Too much anxiety can become problematic and have a significant impact on your quality of life. Some of the things you may be experiencing if you have problematic anxiety are: 

• Difficulty focusing/concentrating and remembering things

• Ruminating or obsessive thoughts that you can't seem to move past 

• A sense of panic or impending doom 

• Trouble sleeping

• Feeling irritable, frustrated or tense

• Physical sensations (nausea, diarrhea, sweating, shaking, heart palpitations)

Anxiety can be a life long battle or present itself at any time during your life. Sometimes the symptoms of anxiety are sparked by a life event such as: 

​​​

• Loss of a loved one

• Motherhood/Parenthood

• Empty nesting 

• Pregnancy Loss 

• Infertility 

• Sexual, physical or mental abuse 

​

The good news is, through processing what's behind your anxiety and learning effective coping skills, you can be on the path to healing and better managing symptoms!
