About Stress & Anxiety

 

Thinking through problems and challenges is a healthy response to life's pressures. It gives you the motivation to assess, take responsibility and take action in all aspects of your life. Sometimes though, instead of working out the solution to a challenge, you have unresolved concerns. It's at this stage that this thinking can turn into anxiety and leave you feeling stressed.

 

Moving home, starting a new job or having a baby can all cause anxiety and unnecessary stress. They may also be linked to negative events that have happened to you in the past, such as an accident or not doing well in an exam.

 

Mild anxiety is not the same as the medical diagnosis of anxiety disorder. In this condition anxious thoughts take over your life to the degree that you need professional help.

 

Mild anxiety can, in some cases, stop you from working effectively and taking risks.  When you worry too much, you obsess over situations that you can only partly control.  Your may also have anxiety about things that, realistically, you are powerless to change.  Anxiety can produce other emotional and physical symptoms.  You should always consult your doctor if symptoms continue for more than 6 weeks.

·         The feeling of helplessness
