Anxiety is a common problem that can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope with everyday life. It can make you feel like there’s no way out of the anxiety cycle except to avoid more and more situations. Although avoidance may seem like a perfect solution, it is short-term.  Something else will trigger anxiety, and you will have to find a way to avoid another situation in your life.

Anxiety can be caused by many things, including:

• Stressful life events

• Cognitive distortions, such as fortune-telling and mind-reading

• Traumatic life experiences

• Poor coping skills

• Relationship conflicts

• Poor sleep habits

If you are unsure if anxiety affects your life, take the anxiety quiz. Note – both depression and anxiety quizzes are included.
