What Anxiety Feels Like

Feeling anxious is a normal part of life, but when anxiety gets out of hand, it can feel overwhelming and paralysing. 

Anxiety can make simple daily tasks feel daunting and drain the joy out of life. 

It might start to feel like you are carrying a heavy weight around all the time, making it hard to breathe, think and move forward.

When to Seek Help

You might consider seeking help if your anxiety is interfering with your work, relationships, or daily activities.

Anxiety can impact your wellbeing even without major stressors or significant life changes. Some people experience loss of control over  thoughts and actions, often leading to feelings of helplessness.
