What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural stress response, but when it becomes overwhelming and persistent, it can disrupt our daily lives. For some, anxiety can feel so immense that it constantly triggers a fight or flight response, leaving the individual in a vulnerable state of panic or distress. There's no one-size-fits-all explanation for why anxiety shows up, as it can stem from a myriad of factors including genetics, environment, and life experiences. From the pressure to succeed in a competitive world to navigating relationships and societal expectations, there are countless reasons why anxiety might rear its head.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

Anxiety wears many masks, and its symptoms can vary from person to person. Some common signs of anxiety include:

• Persistent Worry: Feeling on edge or constantly worrying about the future.
• Physical Symptoms: Racing heart, sweating, trembling, and shortness of breath.
• Difficulty Concentrating: Finding it hard to focus on tasks or make decisions.
• Sleep Disturbances: Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep due to racing thoughts.
• Avoidance Behaviors: Stepping back from situations or activities that trigger anxiety.
• Muscle Tension: Experiencing muscle aches and pains connected to emotional tension

At Darien Wellness, we want every individual to be greeted with compassion, care, and empathy during their sessions with our therapists. We understand that opening up about anxiety can be daunting, which is why we create a nurturing and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. In some cases, you may not have been open about your anxiety because of the environment or people surrounding you, but at Darien Wellness, we want to embrace the unique experiences and backgrounds that shape each individual's journey.
