Understanding Anxiety

Understanding AnxietyAnxiety is a low-level fear response. It can be generalized — we often or even most of the time feel a little bit uneasy, even without a specific reason. We begin to think that feeling anxious is normal. We can get so used to the feeling of generalized anxiety that we don’t remember what it’s like to feel calm and relaxed.

The feeling of anxiety can also be triggered by something specific, such as remembering something unpleasant when we see a color, or smell something that reminds us of that first event. Sometimes a situation, such as taking a test or going someplace new, can trigger an anxious feeling.

Anxiety can range from occasionally feeling worried to experiencing daily panic attacks. It can be connected with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and specific phobias.

The good news? There is a lot of help for anxiety. It is very treatable. We can develop new behaviors, and remember what it’s like to feel calm and relaxed. And it can be a pretty simple process for many people who suffer from anxiety.
