Understanding your anxiety
-
Characterized by persistent and excessive worry about everyday matters, generalized anxiety can lead to feelings of tension, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating. You may experience physical symptoms like muscle tension, fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. The worry associated with generalized anxiety is often disproportionate to the actual threat, leading to significant distress and impairment in daily functioning.
-
Social anxiety is characterized by an intense fear of social situations or performance situations where one may be scrutinized or judged by others. You may experience excessive self-consciousness, fear of embarrassment or humiliation, and avoidance of social interactions or public speaking. This fear can significantly impact personal relationships, academic or professional performance, and overall quality of life.
-
Specific phobias involve an irrational and intense fear of a particular object, situation, or activity. Phobias can include fear of flying, heights, animals, needles, blood, and confined spaces. When confronted with the feared stimulus, you may experience extreme anxiety or panic symptoms.
-
Women are more likely than men to experience panic attacks, which are recurring sudden and intense episodes of fear or discomfort accompanied by physical symptoms. You may experience symptoms such as heart palpitations, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, dizziness, and feelings of derealization or depersonalization.
-
OCD can make it feel difficult to trust your own thoughts, feelings, or decisions. You may find yourself caught in cycles of intrusive thoughts, overthinking, checking, reassurance-seeking, or mental rituals—knowing that these patterns aren’t helping, but feeling unable to stop them.
OCD can show up in many different ways, including fears about contamination, health, relationships, harm, morality, or making mistakes. Sometimes the thoughts themselves can feel especially upsetting or confusing, leaving you questioning what they mean about you.
