Anxiety has reached epidemic proportions in our society today. In our fast-paced, pressured, nonstop lives and culture, it can be incredibly challenging to keep up. As women, we also tend to put an enormous amount of pressure on ourselves to be everything to everyone, and to do it perfectly, in a cute outfit, with a smile on our face. It feels like it never ends, and we often feel like we’re failing to be all that we’re supposed to be. We’re doing backflips trying to be Superwoman, but on the inside, we can feel like we’re about to crumble.

Ugh! Anxiety is the WORST. It can look and feel like…

  • Ruminating, worrisome thoughts, especially when trying to fall asleep
  • Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up in the morning
  • Racing heart, tension or tightness in our bodies
  • Headaches, low energy, a feeling of being “on edge”
  • Panic attacks that can be scary and debilitating
  • A sense of being disconnected from ourselves and the world around us
  • Fear. All the time. About ALL the things.
  • Loss of libido, decreased sense of beauty and self-worth
  • Changes in appetite or weight loss/gain
  • Avoidance of social outings or interactions with loved ones
  • Strained relationships
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • A strong, pervasive drive to “figure out” what is “wrong” with us, resulting in overwhelm, endless Google searches, and exhaustion
  • Overuse of booze, sex, shopping, food to try and feel some relief
