Anxiety
Anxiety is both physically and emotionally exhausting. Anxiety is noticeable initially through physical problems such as chest pains, heart palpitations, sleepless nights, racing thoughts, dizziness, or nausea. Our body usually has a stress response like that when we become aware of a threat or danger in our environment (Let’s say we encounter a bear during a hike). Our brain responds in the same way to the fear that we think about, not only are actually experiencing physically. Meaning that you can be in the safety of your home and your body is having a stress response because you are thinking of what could possibly go wrong or you worry about different aspects of your life.
