DO YOU FEEL CONSTANTLY ON EDGE, AFRAID LIFE WILL FALL APART?
Do you find yourself always bracing for the “worst-case scenario”? Are you afraid to fully enjoy happiness because it might slip away?
If these feelings are holding you back, we’re here to help.
DO ANY OF THESE SOUND FAMILIAR?
- You struggle to fall asleep and rarely feel rested when you wake up or don’t feel rested in the morning.
-
You struggle to focus, whether at work or school.
-
You can’t sit still to relax and always feel the need to be “doing something.”
-
You’re more irritable and often snap at people you love.
-
You can’t seem to calm your mind, and it feels impossible to turn off your worries.
-
You feel a lingering sense of dread or unease about the future, especially when political events are in the spotlight.
-
You often worry about the impact of climate change and feel anxious about the planet’s future.
-
You’ve recently felt overcome by a sudden wave of panic or anxiety.
If you relate to some of these things, you might be struggling with anxiety.
Anxiety can make you feel like things are about to spiral out of control at the drop of a hat. You feel overwhelmed, powerless, and on edge all the time. Anxiety leaves you feeling struggling to make decisions, be productive, concentrate on tasks, or relax after a long day of work. Anxiety can also take a toll on your relationships and make you less patient, less understanding, and more irritable than normal.
Anxiety is rooted in an unrealistic fear that makes us worry that the things that are important to us will fall apart. Our fears exist to cue us into the feeling that something doesn’t feel right. However, anxiety does more than that – it turns our fear into worries that you can’t control and can even morph the worry into panic. Anxiety can feel like a flood of thoughts and feeling, or like something bad is always looming in the background. It can make life harder than it needs to be, and we are here to help you learn to cope with it.

HOW DO I KNOW I NEED THERAPY?
This is a question we hear often. If any of these experiences sound familiar, counseling may be helpful for you:
- Feeling constantly overwhelmed, as if life is spiraling out of control.
- Frequently feeling keyed up, on edge, or restless.
- Worrying endlessly about things beyond your control.
- Struggling to wind down at night or having trouble falling asleep.
- Pushing yourself to the brink to keep a sense of control.
- Noticing that you’re less patient and more easily stressed or irritable.
-
Having a hard time focusing or concentrating, with worry taking over your thoughts.
Did you know that life doesn’t have to be this way? You can learn to let go of the worry and live each day with joy and inner peace.
Life is going to have ups and downs – that’s part of the human experience. But that doesn’t mean it has to be riddled with stress, worry, and overwhelm. If you want help making your life less stressful and more gratifying, set up time to come in and talk with one of our Counselors.
We’d love to meet you.
