Why am I feeling so anxious?

Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can be helpful as it protects us in some situations. It can alert us to dangers and help us prepare and pay attention. Anxiety disorders and the challenge can differ from normal feelings of nervousness or anxiousness and involve excessive fear or anxiety. This becomes problematic when it starts to impact our everyday life- for example begins to interrupt your sleep, affects your appetite, relationships, and joy in life. It is at this stage where we would encourage some interventions such as counselling, group therapy, and in some cases medication. Anxiety does not dissipate on its own, help is needed and we are here to support you.
