8 Signs of Anxiety You Might Not Recognize

Anxiety isn’t always as easy to spot as we think. According to the American Psychological Association, anxiety is defined as a future-oriented fear that leads people to avoid certain situations that may trigger or worsen their distress. Recent surveys still show that over 63% of those suffering from anxiety disorders never seek treatment. Why? Because most of the time, they don’t even know they have it! Being able to recognize your anxiety as early as possible can make a positive difference in helping you better overcome it. In this video, we'll be talking about some of the most crucial warning signs you shouldn’t ignore.

Her voice feels like it is gently picking me up from the ground, patting my head, wiping my tears gently and then calming me down gradually. It's beautiful. The music and that voice itself is a treatment of its own and I am not fetishising or anything. It is my true feelings

[iglooklutz]

Me: “I don’t feel like it’s possible for me to have anxiety it’s probably just normal emotions”
Everyone around me: *Watches me barley be able to make simple decisions and breakdown when I do something slightly wrong*

Diagnosis is a privelege. Especially for children, as they would need loving and caring parents that understand the symptoms of anxiety.

The thing I fear most is

"Panic attacks"

Sometimes I feel like I would feel better if I die

The fact that millions of people also struggle with anxiety, can also make you feel that YOU having anxiety is actually irrelevant, and that there is a lot of people having it worse than you. Idk if someone feels that way, but I really do and this video made me realize of that feeling that I knew I had, but never could explain.

[friar_kayli]

I feel like I have anxiety but I’m scared to talk to my mom about it

[soomacat]

I am tired of dealing with anxiety, i just wanna be normal again, i just wanna feel light again, i tried sooo hard to change this horrible feeling, it keeps holding me back even if i had to do a simple task, also it keeps on holding me back and making me emotional, i’m not an emotional person but it gets me and I simply can’t control it, I wish it could go away and i wish i will be normal and happy again

[inaa]

I was medically diagnosed with anxiety and i can claim that everything in this video is correct atleast for me everyone is different
