Let's Talk about Anxiety

---

Anxiety is more than just stress or worry — it’s a constant feeling of tension or unease that can affect your mind, body, and daily life. According to the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition), symptoms of anxiety often involve persistent worry, physical tension, and difficulty managing daily responsibilities.

Ask yourself:

• 😟 Do you find yourself worrying excessively, often about everyday situations, even when there’s no clear reason?
   
• 💔 Do you feel restless, tense, or on edge, like you can’t fully relax or shut your mind off?
   
• 🧠 Do you struggle to concentrate or feel mentally “foggy” because your mind is constantly spinning with what-ifs?
   
• 💤 Do you experience trouble sleeping, either falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling unrefreshed?
   
• 💪 Do you notice physical symptoms such as muscle tightness, stomach upset, headaches, or a racing heartbeat?
   
• 💬 Do you often feel irritable or emotionally drained, like your anxiety is wearing you down?
   

If these signs sound familiar, you’re not alone — and help is available.
