Not being able to get a deep, belly breath.
Constantly on "high-alert".

What is going on?
This is Anxiety.
Anxiety is something we have all experienced at some point in our lives. You know the feeling. Non-stop worrying about a conversation from earlier. Feeling on edge about a work situation. Or, noticing more fear that something bad is going to happen after a recent stressful event.
Some anxiety may even seem like it makes sense for a situation, but when does it become too much? We have a pretty simple way to tell the difference between "normal" and "time to get help." If you are feeling like anxiety is taking up a lot of your energy and thoughts, it could be time for you to address this issue by meeting with a therapist.
