Helping women manage their stress and cope with the symptoms of anxiety effectively

Life comes with a lot of stress. Perhaps, worry, fear, and stress have caused you to feel very overwhelmed, rundown, and emotionally drained.

Most people who start anxiety treatment feel held hostage by their anxiety, unable to calm their minds. Perhaps you can relate? Maybe, you’re noticing that you complain a lot about feeling stressed, tired, and overwhelmed. Or, you know you’d be happier if you made changes, even if it feels safer and more comfortable to stay the same. Ultimately, you don’t want to live with the burden of anxiety any longer.

Signs You May Have an Anxiety Disorder

Although anxiety is very common, no two people experience the symptoms of anxiety in the same way. However, there are some telltale signs that indicate you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder:

Symptoms of anxiety include:

• Feeling nervous, stressed, or agitated
• Being easily agitated or startled
• Physical symptoms: rapid heart rate, tense muscles, sweating, trembling, unexplained aches and pain, gastrointestinal (GI) problems
• Becoming easily tired or weak
• Changes in eating: eating too much or too little
• Changes in sleep: sleeping too much or too little
• Feeling exhausted even when you get a full nights rest
• Worrisome thoughts
• Experiencing a racing mind and troublesome thoughts
• Living in a constant state of panic
• You feel dread, fear
• You feel fear-stricken, even in the “comfort” of your own home.

If these sound true for you, I want you to know that you are not alone. Anxiety is very common. In fact, research shows that approximately 40 million adults in the United States suffer from an anxiety disorder.

You might feel embarrassed to open up about what you’re really going through, even to family and friends. That’s very normal. But, the good news is that therapy provides a non-judgmental space for you to talk freely about your worries and the things that are bothering you. This allows you to create lasting change in your life and find freedom from the anxiety that’s held you hostage for so long.

Anxiety Comes in Many Forms

There are several kinds of anxiety disorders. Some people may even have more than one anxiety disorder.

Types of Anxiety:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Generalized Anxiety Disorders look very different from person-to-person. However, they can be characterized by feelings of excessive worry that does not go away. Or experiencing worry that is disproportionate to the situation. Often, women will experience this along with other mental health concerns like depression or other anxiety disorders.

Panic Disorder

A panic disorder involves frequent episodes of intense anxiety and fear that comes on fast and strong. A panic attack almost always includes extreme physical reactions such as sweating, racing heart, shortness of breath, tightness in your chest, and more. These reactions cause more anxiety about a panic attack happening again, so you try to avoid the things, situations, or places that trigger panic attacks.

Social Anxiety Disorder

Social Anxiety Disorders are fairly common. They involve lots of anxiety, avoidance, or embarrassment in certain social situations. Usually, people with a social anxiety disorder fear these situations because they are worried about becoming embarrassed, being judged, or being ridiculed.

Phobias

A phobia occurs when you become very anxious or panicked from being exposed to certain objects or situations. Phobias often cause panic attacks.

It’s possible to find relief from anxiety. Imagine a life where you could…

• Stop worrying all the time.
• Control how you respond to anxious thoughts.
• Finally be free from years of constant anxiety and panic attacks.
• Stop letting anxiety affect the way you live or make any decisions for you.
• Get to the root problems and solve those instead of using band-aids.

Anxiety Treatment helps you rise above your challenges and start moving towards your ideal life. You will feel less stressed and much calmer. Therapy gives you the practical tools you need to lower your overall anxiety in life and ways to manage my stress and tools to cope with it.
