What Anxiety Can Look Like

Anxiety isn’t just feeling nervous. It can take over your body and your day. Here's what to watch for:
Can’t Stop Worrying
Your brain replays the same worry over and over. You picture worst-case stuff that may never happen.
On Edge All the Time
You feel jumpy. You can’t sit still. Your shoulders are tight before you even notice.
Body Symptoms
Headaches, stomach aches, racing heart, tight chest. The doctor says you’re fine, but you don’t feel fine.
Avoiding Stuff
You skip places, people, or things that make you anxious. Your world starts to shrink.
Trouble Sleeping
You can’t fall asleep. Or you wake up at 3 a.m. and your brain won’t stop.
Hard to Focus
Worry crowds out everything else. School, work, even fun feels harder.

Sound Familiar?

Anxiety shows up in real life like this:

In a 6-year-old

She cries every morning before school. Her stomach hurts. She says she’s fine at recess, but mornings are a meltdown.

In a teen

He won’t go to parties. He says he’s just tired. Really, he’s terrified people are judging him. He stays in his room a lot.

In an adult

Her heart races for no reason. She thought she was having a heart attack. Twice. Her doctor said it was a panic attack and gave her our number.
