Anxiety Is Your Brain Trying to Protect You
Anxiety is your brain’s alarm system. Sometimes it’s helpful. Sometimes it’s too loud.
When anxiety is constant, your body stays in “fight or flight” mode. This can cause racing thoughts, tension, trouble sleeping, or irritability.
Small steps can help calm the nervous system:
Slow, deep breathing
Limiting caffeine
Consistent sleep
Grounding exercises
Medication can also be helpful when anxiety becomes overwhelming or interferes with daily life. The goal isn’t to change who you are—it’s to give your brain a break.
