What is Anxiety?
Anxiety can manifest in various ways. A racing heart, tight chest, or a mind constantly consumed with worry. It can also feel like a sudden wave of panic or dread that stops you in your tracks. Whether it is general anxiety, social anxiety, or intense panic attacks, anxiety can make you feel disconnected and overwhelmed. But it does not have to control your life. With the right support and tools, you can break free from the cycle of anxiety and begin to heal.
