Do you find yourself frequently worrying about many things? Do the people in your life tell you to "stop worrying" or that "you are just looking for things to worry about"? Is it hard to remember a time when you were relaxed and took things easy? Have you always been "Type A", perfectionistic and extremely conscientious? Or are you recently finding yourself feeling more anxious or even panicky? Have you been to the emergency room because you are experiencing sudden heart racing, sweating and other physical symptoms and been told that "you are just anxious" or "you must be under stress"? Do you have specific fears, such as of flying or driving, illness or death, insects or animals, being in specific situations, etc.? Do you find yourself feeling anxious about social situations or avoiding them all together?
If you answered "yes" to any or many of these questions, you may be experiencing one or multiple forms of anxiety. Anxiety symptoms can have multiple causes and most importantly, can be effectively treated.
