Anxiety
Have you ever felt as though you’re constantly on high alert?
I understand how exhausting it can be to carry the weight of anxiety every day. It often feels like an intrusive presence, whispering doubts, creating unease, and making even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming.
It’s that racing heart for no reason, difficulty focusing, discomfort in your stomach, or lying awake at night with your mind tangled in endless thoughts.
Even in moments when everything seems fine, there can be an underlying sense of restless tension, preventing you from truly relaxing. For some, this may stem from work-related stress, relationship problems, personal experiences, genetic factors, or childhood trauma.
Over time, these factors can contribute to various forms of anxiety, such as social anxiety, health anxiety, or generalised anxiety with each presenting unique challenges, fears, and unwanted symptoms.
But just as I understand the weight of anxiety, I also know the lightness that comes when it begins to fade.
