Anxiety Where to get Help
Anxiety is a natural response to stress or perceived danger. It's part of the body's fight, flight, or freeze system—designed to protect you. While some anxiety is normal (like before a big event), ongoing or intense anxiety can interfere with daily life and well-being.
What Happens in the Body During Anxiety?
When you feel anxious, your brain sends signals to your body to prepare for the perceived danger,
Brain
Increased alertness or racing thoughts
Difficulty concentrating
Feeling overwhelmed or panicky
Heart & Lungs
Fast heartbeat (palpitations)
Quick, shallow breathing or shortness of breath
Chest tightness
Stomach & Gut
Nausea or "butterflies"
Upset stomach or changes in appetite
Needing the toilet more often
Muscles
Tension or aches, especially in the shoulders, neck, or jaw
Trembling or shaking
Other Physical Signs
Sweating, even when it’s not hot
Feeling hot or flushed
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Tingling in hands or feet
Fatigue or trouble sleeping
These symptoms are your body's way of reacting to a perceived danger, but when they happen too often, they can feel exhausting or frightening.
