These are some symptoms of anxiety.
When we feel anxiety, it
is a way that our body is telling us that something is just not right.
It can be a warning signal to us that danger could be near in a situation.
However, some people experience anxiety in a severe and frequent manner in which is termed Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

There does not need to
be a situation that warrants danger for someone to feel anxiety.
GAD is when an
individual worries excessively in a chronic manner. Some symptoms of GAD are
sleep disturbances, restlessness, fatigue, becoming irritable easily, having a
difficult concentrating, and muscle tension.
When we repress our hurt
emotions, they come out in other ways.
Coping
skills that are helpful are:
Positive self-talk
Reading Biblical
scripture and positive quotes
Talking to a trusted
friend
Getting plenty of fresh
air and exercise
Prayer
Going to a ‘safe’ or
“happy’ place in my mind …such as the beach
Drinking plenty of water
throughout the day
Eating a lot of fresh of
fruits and vegetables
Taking slow deep breaths
Remember that talking to
someone when you are hurting and /or experiencing fears can be very helpful
along with implementing positive coping skills.
There is help for
anxiety and you can feel better!
