• Feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, worthlessness, or purposelessness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Sleep changes (insomnia or sleeping too much)
• Appetite or weight changes
• Social withdrawal or agitation
• Recurrent thoughts of death or suicidal ideation

Anxiety can be a normal response to stress—but when it begins to interfere with daily life, it may be more than just nerves. Signs can include:

• Persistent worry or fear that’s hard to control
• Racing thoughts or difficulty concentrating
• Feeling overwhelmed or “on edge” most of the time
• Irritability or mood swings

It can also show up physically:

• Rapid heartbeat or chest tightness
• Muscle tension or trembling
• Nausea, dizziness, or stomach discomfort
• Sleep disturbances (trouble falling or staying asleep)

If these symptoms persist for more than two weeks and interfere with your daily life, it may help to talk with a mental health professional.
