For some, worrying and being nervous before any event, be it essential or not, can be a normal part of life. But, for others, this may not be the case. Imagine not leaving your home for days together because you do not want to face the crowd. Or, isolating yourself and crying inconsolably because something reminded you of a past traumatic event? Yes, this isn’t normal. If your fears or worries linger around for longer than usual, and doing something new, or going to a new place, is more of a task for you then enjoyment, you may be suffering from Anxiety disorder. Anxiety can cause interference in your daily life, and chores like school, work, or even your relationships.

Your Anxiety May Lead To Depression!

Anxiety isn’t all about being nervous and worrying too much. While people treat other worries as normal, for someone suffering from anxiety, such concerns can possibly turn into fears and be terrifying. Although the sufferer may know their fears aren’t rational, these feelings are still not under their control.

Anxiety is like a cyclic phase. You worry you get tensed, and then you over think. Over thinking takes you to your failures or anything that you do not want to remember, and that in turn leads to you being depressed.
