Understanding Anxiety (Your Anxiety is Not You)

-

Anxiety is characterized by crippling worries and repetitive or obsessive intrusive thoughts. These interfere with peace of mind and negatively impact quality of life. If you find yourself overtaken by an unreasonable level of fear you may be one of millions suffering from anxiety.
Anxiety can be over past, present, or future situations and can even be experienced with no conscious connection to a specific source. While anxiety can certainly fall within the 'normal' range, an overactive mind that interferes with everyday living can be a sign of a neurological chemical imbalance.

You shouldn't have to live your life paralyzed by your mind, and you don't have to.
