I am experiencing persistent stress/anxiety

We each will encounter times of feeling stressed or anxious; especially during periods of high-demand and workload.

Similarly, a distressing event or major change in your life can affect your stress regulation capacity. These changes could be both foreseen or unforeseen.

A persistent, elevated state of anxiety can affect how you think, feel and behave, and show signs including:
• feeling overwhelmed (feeling that everything is too much)
• difficulty concentrating or making decisions
• being irritable
• avoiding certain places or people
• being on edge, restless or irritable
• feeling a sense of dread
• repeatedly checking things or seeking assurance from others
• avoiding situations or putting off doing things you are worried about

If your anxiety symptoms have been ongoing on for a while or getting worse, you may need to talk to a professional.
