Let’s face it, anxiety can ruin our day. One moment, you are sitting down enjoying your breakfast and the next moment, a surge of panic comes along. You are thinking about today’s meeting, an upcoming exam, or a meeting with a group of friends. Then suddenly, without control, you’re breathing heavily and feel a tightness in your chest. You decide to avoid leaving and just stay at home in bed. Anxiety comes in many different forms. If you have experienced thoughts of worst-case scenarios coming true or have avoided social situations because you are afraid of the outcome, chances are you are experiencing anxiety. Anxiety can come in forms of phobias, procrastination, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sleep difficulties and lack of appetite. Anxiety can lead to panic attacks where you experience physiological reactions that feel like you can’t breathe.
