Anxiety No 1 Mental Illness in US

Do you suffer from anxiety and not recognize it? Perhaps you think as many do that it is feelings of nervousness or the jitters. It is far more than that! How often are you unable to sleep, have restless sleep or even disrupted sleep patterns?

How often do you have negative thoughts, economic woes, academic demands, family conflicts or late nights at work? Can you say that given the present uncertainties of politics you do not feel fear? What will tariffs and the loss of cheap workers do to your business?

Covid 19 still causes undue stress to many Americans even with inoculations. Do you drink a lot of coffee, tea, cokes or high energy drinks? Caffeine causes anxiety of which one may be unaware. How often do you have headaches, jaw clenching, teeth grinding, fatigue, muscle tension, nausea, diarrhea, irritable bowels? All the aforementioned may be causes for and symptoms of having anxiety.

How does anxiety affect your lifestyle negatively? It can easily cause one to lose a job, a marriage, a relationship with a friend. Can you afford one of these. Remember during Covid when everybody had to stay at home, the family conflict and divorces? It was all anxiety produced by stress.

What can you afford to lose now due to stress? Think of anxiety as a force. A strong hand that reaches from the darkness to grab your arm and it won’t let go.

Think of a worry that you couldn’t get rid of for a long time. Nothing worked. Maybe every morning when you awoke you felt sadness or fear. You couldn’t shake it. It distracted all your days. That’s how anxiety works. It takes over your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. The only way to control it is by seeking professional help.
