Anxiety is something that every human being on the planet experiences. If you have a deadline, task to get done or a difficult conversation to have, it's helpful to view the anxiety you feel as a useful tool to motivate you to get it done. It's important to note that when the task or conflict is resolved you should feel the anxiety dissipate. ... If it doesn't dissipate after a stressful event and becomes a chronic problem in your daily life, saying ‘I’m just an anxious person’ is not going to help you solve your problem. Pay attention to your anxiety, it’s trying to tell you something. it is important to seek help to understand the underlying causes and to learn effective ways to manage it. See more
