The damage that anxiety does to your life often builds up little by little. You might not realize how badly your anxiety is affecting your life until you stop and take stock of it all. Then, you can reach out for help to treat your anxiety and re-expand your horizons.
Are you ready to get out from under the burden of your anxiety disorder? Dr. Bryant S. Edwards and his team at Iconic Infusions, PLLC are ready to work with you to identify and alleviate the negative impacts of your anxiety. It’s worth considering how much treating your anxiety disorder could improve your prospects and quality of life.
If you spend every day coping with some degree of generalized, free-floating anxiety or with specific anxiety disorders or phobias, it can absolutely wear you out, as well as hold you back.
It takes a lot of energy to stay calm in the face of anxiety. You might find yourself making less ambitious choices or plans due to the sheer amount of fatigue you feel from constantly managing your anxiety disorder.
Regular feelings of anxiety also damage your quality of life. If you’re always fighting back anxiety, it’s harder to enjoy the moments that make life worth living. Part of your mind may always feel occupied with anxious thoughts, fears, or worries.
The ongoing stress of anxiety even impacts you at a physical level. Patients with anxiety disorders often suffer from sleep disturbances, digestive troubles, and tension headaches or body pain.
For some people, anxiety symptoms connect with specific triggers. The sufferer might think that if they can just avoid contact with their anxiety triggers, they can prevent the negative mental health impacts.
However, this strategy comes with a cost that might be higher than you realize right away. To avoid your anxiety triggers, you might find that you have to step away from many valued or important parts of your life. And your anxiety triggers may expand or intensify over time, restricting you more and more.
If your trigger is working with others, for example, avoidance of the trigger might damage your career prospects. If your trigger is travel, you might find yourself being left out of family or friend group plans. People with triggers around conflict often find it difficult to stand up for themselves, putting them at a heightened risk of abuse. Anxious phobias about germs and contagions can leave you effectively house-bound.
If you don’t want to live an artificially restricted existence due to anxiety, what can you do? In cases when your anxiety is interfering with your life, you should know that you have treatment options available that can make it easier to take the next big step, be it asking for a promotion, taking an international trip, or exploring dating.
