What Anxiety Can Look Like

Anxiety doesn’t always show up as obvious panic. Many people experience:

  • Constant worry or racing thoughts

  • Tight chest, nausea, restlessness

  • Avoidance or procrastination

  • Irritability or burnout

  • Trouble sleeping or focusing

If this sounds familiar, therapy can help you regain a sense of control.
