Many people experience anxiety at some point in their lives.
Anxiety is how the body reacts to stressful, dangerous, or unfamiliar situations. It’s a feeling of uneasiness, distress, or panic that you feel before an event.
A certain level of stress keeps us aware, on our toes, and safe. This is normal.
Our bodies are set up to alert us when our environment becomes dangerous and trigger our fight or flight responses.

2020 the Year of High Anxiety
Many people are feeling the effects of anxiety this year. With the world in disarray, it is not uncommon to feel the pressures of life with job loss, death, social upheaval, and the world lockdown due to COVID-19.
The world is giving us plenty to worry about in 2020.
It is ok to have anxiety. You are not alone.
It is common and normal to feel disappointed, grief from the loss of a loved one, or react with some anxiety to life’s challenges.
However, it is not natural when those feelings persist long after the event that triggered them is gone. Those feelings often come out of nowhere and bring a weight of emotions so heavy that you can not function.
We’re living in a stressful time. It’s important to take care of our mental health.
Recognizing Anxiety is the First Step
When symptoms of anxiety become larger than the event that is triggering them and interfere with your daily life, this could be a sign of an anxiety disorder.
Anxiety disorders can have a huge negative impact on yourself and those around you.
Recognizing symptoms is the first step to help you and your loved ones to begin to work with this illness.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” -Sun Tzu
