Anxiety can be considered a healthy feeling, but when experienced frequently and in high degrees, it can develop into a mental condition.
We suffer harm when anxiety takes over our life. Instead than allowing us to think clearly and assess danger properly, it causes us to feel excessively nervous or afraid. Our body get restless as a result, which might make us feel less happy. Due to how it makes us feel, relationships may deteriorate as a result.
Anxiety disorder is a mental health disorder fueled by feelings of worry and fear that are enough to completely ruin one’s daily schedule.
Hear in this blog, I take you through some common signs that your anxiety is becoming an issue for you and you should probably seek medical help.
1. Worrying about unlikely events after getting reassurance: Functional and logical anxiety may typically take into account a genuine perception of risk and can be modified with the correct information collecting. However, uncontrollable anxiety frequently feels resistant to consolation. Anxiety at this level is no longer functional: It is worsening the situation, similar to someone who believes they have an illness even after testing have repeatedly ruled it out or someone who is so convinced their partner will leave them that they really start to drive them away.
2. Lack of concentration and absent mindedness: Your ability to focus may change for a number of reasons, including ADD/ADHD, depression, or insufficient sleep. However, anxiety most definitely also contributes to this. A person’s thoughts move so quickly in these circumstances that it is challenging for them to “land” anywhere, and when they try to focus on just one thing, the mental clutter of their worries get in the way, forcing them to attend to it and making it difficult for them to concentrate on what they were supposed to.
3. Sleeping challenged: For some people struggling with anxiety, the link with sleep problems is obvious: They lay in bed actively worrying about things, unable to fall asleep. For other people, the differences are more subtle, like waking up too early and being unable to fall back asleep, having an increased incidence of disturbing nightmares, or having more restless sleep in general. Unfortunately, this can often become a vicious cycle, not just because when we become overtired it is more challenging to actually get restful sleep, but also because our moods turn more negative and hypervigilant to — increasing our anxiety — when we haven’t had enough shut-eye
