Are you frequently nervous or find yourself avoiding specific situations?
Have you had moments of terror that seem to come out of nowhere?
Are you experiencing panic attacks?
Anxiety Treatment
I don’t know what’s going on, I feel my heart racing and I can’t shut off my brain. Why am I feeling some or all of these symptoms? Shaky, racing heart beat/thoughts, the terror that strikes at random, sweaty, chest pain. It’s like I am choking or having a heart attack. I feel worried and self-conscious, intense fear of specific objects or situations. I am tired of worrying all the time and feeling tense, but I can’t admit this to my friends or family.
Does any of this sound familiar? If so, you might be suffering from an untreated anxiety disorder.
Is anxiety holding you back? If so, it may be time for counseling. Anxiety treatment with a caring therapist can help you face the most difficult parts of your life.
