Anxiety, Panic & Depression

 

 Anxiety, panic, and depression often go hand in hand…

 
 

Anxiety

Anxiety can create an overwhelming feeling that you are out of control. Clients experience a range of symptoms from racing or intrusive thoughts, insomnia, fatigue, tension, and broken concentration. It is a full time job to manage the symptoms associated with the fear, doubt, and worry often associated with anxiety and panic. You’re working hard with fear, worry, racing thoughts, sweaty palms. It is no wonder you feel depressed!

 

A couple questions to consider:

  • Do you feel like you have to hide the way you feel most days?

  • Do you feel exhausted with daily tasks and would rather be alone than with people?

  • Are you working harder and harder but find that peace alludes you?

  • Do you feel that this will not get better on it’s own and maybe it’s getting worse?
