Both genetic and environmental variables can contribute to this. Some of the common reasons for unhealthy anxiety include, but are not limited to:

• Rising stress levels and responsibilities at school, work, or home
• Experiencing hardship or a traumatic incident
• Struggling with medical problems (e.g., chronic pain, heart disease, respiratory issues)
• Suffering from side effects to specific medication
• Having a family history of mental disorders or prior personal issues with mental health

We tend to live life in a constant hurry.

We seem to always be in a rush, adapting to change and trying to check all items off our to-do lists. We think ahead, fixate on the future, and prepare for what might happen. All of us want to be our best selves, both at work and home.

Yet, sometimes the rush keeps us from doing so.

We might spread ourselves too thin, run ourselves ragged with worry, or neglect our needs. We might toss and turn at night, thinking about “what if.”

When anxiety tells you how to live your life, life doesn’t quite feel like living.

You may think these excessive nerves will eventually go away and ignore them for now. You might even pressure yourself to “get over it already.” Or, you may resort to unhealthy ways to cope with them by overeating, drinking, or engaging in other numbing behaviors.

Anxiety can be triggered by specific circumstances or come out of nowhere, growing severe and showing up more frequently than you’d like. It can affect your thoughts, feelings, and physical being to the point where performing your job, socializing, or handling day-to-day activities becomes too overwhelming. Left unaddressed, anxiety can prevent you from savoring your life.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

You deserve a chance to live well, free from the rush and the worry. You are capable of finding balance for a fulfilling future. And We can help you get there.
