How do I know if my anxiety is a problem?

Anxiety is a natural human response, it helps alert us to imminent danger. However, when your anxiety is constant - with obsessive thoughts, feelings of panic, trouble sleeping, heart palpitations, and cold or sweaty hands - keeping you from living the life you deserve, it’s important to get help.

Symptoms of anxiety:

• you worry excessively about work, family, money, health, school performance, or any other aspect of life
• you avoid situations or people out of fear of experiencing anxiety, panic, embarrassment, or failing to meet expectations
• you seek constant reassurance in relationships
