Are you avoiding certain things to prevent anxiety and panic attacks?
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is actually a natural response to threat and stress. Even though the feeling of anxiety sucks and panic attack is like your heart is beating out of your chest, it’s job is to protect us and help us survive. You might be experiencing feelings of uneasiness, worry, or fear that you are going to pass out! Only when it becomes excessive or persistent and it interferes with your everyday life, it can develop into an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorder can also be broken down into generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, panic disorders, and specific phobias, each with it’s own unique features and triggers.
What causes anxiety?
There are different causes of anxiety. A family history of anxiety can make you more susceptible to anxiety and stress. Brain chemistry, environmental factors, personality factors such as perfectionism, a tendency toward negativity, shyness, can make someone more prone to anxiety. Childhood experiences like neglect or insecure attachment styles, other mental health conditions like trauma, or addictions can trigger anxiety symptoms. Anxiety can also developed later in life with association of difficult situations and people.
