“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” — Henry S. Haskins

Lately, you find yourself worrying more often than not. You feel like this anxiety and worrying is getting out of hand. You constantly feel “on edge”, unable to relax. You may be more irritable or judgy. You feel tired, even after a good night’s sleep. You carry a lot of tension in your body. Despite your best efforts, you have trouble concentrating and sometimes “blank out” completely. It feels like you worry about “anything and everything”. Or maybe you are really focused on one type of worry, like other people judging you, your finances or your health. People tell you to “think positively”, but all you can seem to think about is the worst case scenario.

You spend hours lying in bed before you can fall asleep. Preparing for stressful tasks takes way longer for you than for others. You find yourself double checking things over and over again. You may find yourself replaying events that passed to make sure you didn’t make a mistake and find that you need a lot of reassurance from others just to feel ok, for a moment. You find it really tough to delegate, which in turn makes you feel exhausted and resentful. Or you may avoid stressful situations altogether, like showing up to work, a gathering, or to an exam, because it feels too overwhelming. You have trouble letting things go and wonder how other people can be as carefree as they are. You feel like your anxiety is preventing you from spending quality time with your loved ones, as you feel “on edge” around them. You can no longer enjoy the happy times in your life because you are too worried about the future or the past.
