When you start to feel anxious it is your body's natural response to a stressful situation. Anxiety is not always a bad thing, it helps you start focused, & even motivate you to solve problems. but when you start to always feel anxious, it stops you from doing things you normal would do, like going out for diner, to see a movie, or even just going shopping, this is how you know you are suffering from an anxiety disorder.
symptoms of an anxiety disorder:
- feeling like danger and catastrophe are around every corner
- your anxiety interferes with your work, school, or family responsibilities
- constant fears that you know are irrational, but can’t shake
- being constantly tense, worried, or on edge
- restlessness
- feeling like your mind has gone blank
Anxiety attacks can come at any time or any place & usually without warning. common triggers of anxiety attacks are big events like a big speech, a blind date, & job interviews. the 6 major types of anxiety disorders are:

Not everyone who worries a lot has an anxiety disorder. You may be anxious because of an overly demanding schedule, lack of exercise or sleep, pressure at home or work, or even from too much coffee.
A few self-help tips on anxiety disorder are:
Writing down your worries will help you by thinking about why your are feeling this way, and it may disappear.
Creating an anxiety worry period will help you concentrate, but not solve, your worries. The rest of the day will be "worry-free".
Accepting what you can't control is one of the most important, in my opinion, as it is what we can't control that worries people the most.
