You are exhausted and overwhelmed.

You are used to dealing with anxiety, it’s been a part of your life for as long as you can remember, but it’s different now. Anxiety has been something you could keep a handle on, but now you just can’t anymore.

You always feel on edge, ready to fall apart at any moment.

You feel like you will start crying at the drop of a hat all the time. Your mind is always racing, and never with anything good. When you get like that your heart beats faster and faster and you struggle to breathe. Sometimes you can tell it's coming and sometimes it comes out of nowhere. You hate to think of the possibility, but sometimes you wonder if this is what panic attacks feel like. 

Sleep has never come easy to you, but now you barely sleep at all.

If you do manage to fall asleep it ends up being in the early morning hours and you struggle to wake up later and get going.

Most days it feels like you simply stop functioning.

You try so hard to keep a healthy routine but it never lasts. Your relationships are a mess. You want separation from your family because you know interactions with them leave you feeling even worse but have a hard time saying no.

People in your life walk all over you.

It feels like everyone turns to you for every little thing, but there’s no one you can talk to. You aren’t where you want to be in life. Everyone around you seems to be hitting all of the milestones but you seem to go nowhere at all. You feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and discouraged. You are so exhausted and know that something has to change. You want to find someone you feel comfortable with who can help guide you through this.
