You may appear to have it all together from the outside, but on the inside you feel like the walls are closing in. Perhaps you recently experienced a panic attack, or maybe your constant worries are getting in the way of really being present, doing your job, or enjoying your life. You may find that your racing thoughts keep you up at night, or you are simply so overwhelmed that even small tasks make you feel like breaking down and crying. Perhaps you are feeling disappointed in yourself that you cannot let things go and feel happy as others appear to be able to do.

Whatever it is that you are experiencing, you are beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:

• You are consumed with thoughts of the worst case scenario. 

• Your loved ones don’t understand why you are so fixated on some things and can’t calm down. 

• Your stomach is in knots, your head spins, and you feel short of breath.

• You are exhausted and overwhelmed.

• There is so much going on in your mind that it’s hard to keep up with what’s going on around you. It is paralyzing.

• You feel guilty and self-conscious. You find yourself saying “I’m sorry” a lot, because you think everything is your fault.
