Excessive worry | Difficulties tolerating uncertainty | Generalised anxiety disorder
Are your worries overwhelming? Does worry feel like it's taking over? Do you find it hard to let go of worries and accept uncertainty? If I gave you 100 pounds while you were worrying, would you be able to stop? Do you always feel on edge, like you're always 'on duty'? Do you have a habit of paying attention to potential threats?
It's normal to feel nervous or worried at times. Almost 40% of people worry every day. For some, worrying becomes chronic and overwhelming. This is known as generalized anxiety, which can affect anyone. Symptoms include restlessness, fatigue, irritability, and sleep problems. Coping with excessive worry can be tough, but it's important to remember that it's a natural part of being human. CBT is a recommended treatment for generalized anxiety. It provides effective tools to manage worry and anxiety.
Mindfulness training and meditation can also help reduce worry and improve focus. Therapy can empower individuals to manage symptoms and regain control over their lives.
