Anxiety and Stress

You find it hard to relax and sit still.
If and when you do, your mind races.
It generates a to-do list a mile long, and tells you that you will never get everything done.

You worry about what will happen tomorrow, the next day, or in ten years if you make the wrong move. It’s hard to fall asleep and stay asleep, and you have a constant tension in your neck and shoulders. You often hold your breath or feel like there is an elephant sitting on your chest. Sometimes you have a panic attack where you cannot breathe and think you’re going to die.

Anxiety can sometimes take control, but you can get back in the driver’s seat.
