Anxiety

Anxiety and stress are your mind and body reacting to pressure, uncertainty, or things that feel threatening. Stress usually comes from something specific, like work or a relationship, while anxiety can stick around even when there's no clear reason for it. It's not just "overthinking" or "being too sensitive". This can happen to anyone.

When it becomes constant, it starts affecting how you feel, think, and get through the day. You might struggle with sleep, focus, or even small decisions. Over time it wears you down and gets hard to manage alone. Catching it early makes it a lot easier to turn around.

Anxiety can be caused due to many reasons. It can run in families or just come down to how your brain and body handle stress. Overthinking, being hard on yourself, or holding everything to an impossibly high standard all feed into it too. Past experiences, big changes, or emotions you've never really worked through often play a part. Pressure from work, family expectations, or money stress adds real weight to your emotions. Finally, things like bad sleep, no routine, or being glued to your phone all day wear you down over time too.
