Anxiety Counseling

Everyone has anxiety. A certain amount of anxiety can be helpful in some occasions. For example, if you have to give a speech in school or in a professional meeting, anxiety can be your friend and keep you on your toes helping you do a good job. However, at what point does anxiety become debilitating and interfering with life?

It becomes problem when there is an overwhelming persistence of worry, confusion, obsession, frustration, irritability or despair about everyday things. There are all kinds of things we can worry about on a daily basis. The most common worries are:  good health, the good health of your loved ones, safety issues, and finances. The healthy person may worry up to an hour a day on such issues. The person who obsesses with worry usually spends 3-10 hours a day worrying. They don’t know how to stop the worry cycle and it feels beyond their control.

Here are some common symptoms of anxiety:

  • Nervousness
  • Fear
  • Panic spells
  • Stressed
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Racing thoughts
  • Restlessness
  • Tense muscles
  • Sweating
  • Headaches
  • Feeling tired
