Anxiety is an emotion; it is what we feel when we are more than just nervous and is an emotion that we all feel at some point… but, how do you really know when anxiety is becoming much more than just an emotion?
Anxiety disorder is one of the most common mental illnesses yet manifests itself differently in every single person meaning that there are many signs that anxiety is taking over your life.
The sooner that you recognise anxiety, the less of a chance it has of taking over your life and causing more harm.
So, let’s recognise the signs of anxiety taking over your life:
Lack of sleep or sleeping too much
Long-term tightness in your chest
Nausea
Difficulty breathing
Feeling of a lump in your throat (like a pill is stuck)
Irregular heartbeat
Headaches
Muscular and joint aches
Frequently needing the toilet
IBS
Sweating more than usual
Pins and needles
Picking at your skin
Pulling your hair out
Restlessness
Frequent flu-like symptoms
Difficulty concentrating
Memory loss
Distancing yourself from others
Changes in sex-drive
Feeling hopeless

If you recognise any of the symptoms, you may be experiencing anxiety disorder and it is important that you speak up. So, please contact your GP!
