When Your Mind
Never Stops, Rest
Becomes Impossible
You may look calm to everyone else while battling constant worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, panic or fear every day.
Anxiety is not simply stress. It is a medical condition that can affect your sleep, relationships, concentration, work performance and overall quality of life.
You Are Not Weak.
You Are Exhausted.
Living with anxiety can feel like carrying an invisible weight that never goes away.
You may constantly replay conversations, anticipate worst-case scenarios, struggle to relax or feel trapped in a cycle of worry that follows you everywhere.
Others may see someone functioning normally.
But only you know how much energy it takes just to get through the day.
"You do not have to spend your life surviving every day when treatment may help you start living again."
You May Recognize These
Thoughts...
Anxiety doesn't always looks like panic.
Sometimes it sounds like this.
"Why am I still thinking about this?"
“Why haven't they texted me back yet?”
"I probably sounded stupid"
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Ugh, why can't I just relax"
"I should have said something different"
"What if everyone noticed..."
"I slept 9 hours, why am I still tired?"
"I'm just going to check one more time"
"Maybe they are upset with me"
ANXIETY CAN LOOK LIKE...
Rehearsing a conversation before it happens.
Reading a text message five times before sending it.
Wondering if someone is upset with you because their tone is a little different.
Needing reassurance, only to doubt it again minutes later.
Apologizing even when you have done nothing wrong.
Feeling guilty when you are resting.
Lying awake replaying conversations form earlier in the week.
Taking responsibility for everyone else's happiness.
Overanalyzing a pause, a look, a short reply or a facial expression.
Imagining what everyone else is thinking about you.
