Some Anxiety is Normal

It’s completely normal to feel anxious from time to time—whether it’s before a big presentation, during a tough decision, or when something unexpected happens. This type of anxiety is your body’s natural way of alerting you to challenges and helping you stay focused. While it can feel uncomfortable, it often passes once the situation resolves. It’s a reminder that feeling anxious sometimes is just a part of being human, and it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.

When It Becomes Not Helpful

When anxiety starts to take over your life—when it keeps you up at night, makes it hard to focus, or prevents you from doing things you once enjoyed—it’s no longer helpful. Instead of being a temporary response to stress, it can feel like a constant, exhausting weight. This kind of anxiety can make you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even isolated, but it’s important to remember that you don’t have to face it alone. There’s help, and with support, you can learn to manage it and find relief.
