Anxiety is more than just feeling nervous - it's a persistent sense of worry, fear, or unease that can disrupt daily life. It can make simple tasks feel overwhelming, affecting school work, your job, relationships, and overall well-being. If anxiety is holding you back, seeking help from an experienced Gold Coast psychologist can provide the support you need.
Why Is Anxiety So Hard to Manage?
Anxiety often feels uncontrollable, leading to physical and emotional distress. Common symptoms include:
-
Constant worry – overthinking and expecting the worst
-
Physical symptoms – racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness
-
Restlessness and irritability – feeling on edge or easily frustrated
-
Sleep disturbances – difficulty falling or staying asleep due to anxious thoughts
