A sufferer of this debilitating illness experiences a constant feeling of “fight or flight”, an instinct usually reserved only for dangerous situations. Sufferers can experience mysterious symptoms that are seemingly unrelated, but that can ultimately be traced back to their anxiety issues.
The symptoms of anxiety disorder are wide and varied and can come across as anything from sickness and diarrhoea to periods of putting yourself in excessively risky situations. Anxiety is a constant whirlwind of ups and downs, of being balanced on the edge of your own nerves which, of course, you can only keep up for so long.
Once you have been in this state of cyclically spinning problems over and over in your mind for an extended period of time, you crash. Exhaustion kicks in and brings you to your knees. You spend a week or so sleeping in for your job, not able to focus, if you have a dual diagnosis mental health issue, this is when your depression will kick in. You might spend a few weeks visiting the lowest points of your own psyche. When you finally come out of this period, your problems from before are still there waiting on you. The cycle refreshes and begins again.
With this particular mental health problem, rehab is possible in order to recover. You can visit our pages at any time of the day or night, to learn more about getting a place in our coveted mental health rehab programs.

This is because of the nature of the disease. Anxiety is a normal human emotion that happens in all of us. It is entirely normal to feel anxious once in a while. It is only when the repetition of the symptoms of anxiety become unmanageable where we are having a problem. This malfunctioning of the part of the brain that controls your panic functions, is what we call anxiety disorder.
Anxiety has an impact on your brain that bypasses normal logic and reasoning. You could have an uncomfortable appointment approaching one day, wake up that morning and continuously vomit until the appointment is finished, missed, or postponed. You wouldn’t be consciously aware of why you were vomiting. You might think you are sick from food poisoning, or some other illness. The point is that anxiety isn’t always obvious.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” background_color=”custom” lg_spacing=”padding_top:20;padding_bottom:20″ custom_background_color=”#f7f7f7″][vc_column][tm_heading tag=”h2″ custom_google_font=”” text=”Ways to Tell if you Have Anxiety”][tm_spacer][vc_column_text]With this in mind, we listed a few ways you can check your anxiety levels at home. If you think you have an anxiety disorder, try some of the following things to find out for sure. Obviously, talking to your doctor comes before all else.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row lg_spacing=”padding_top:20;padding_bottom:20″][vc_column][tm_heading custom_google_font=”” text=”Journaling”][tm_spacer][vc_column_text]If you don’t know whether or not you have an anxiety problem, you need to start logging your behaviour. The best way to do this is by keeping a journal. If you have unexplained symptoms, note what they are and when they occur. Over time, patterns in when they occur will appear… but only if your inexplicable illnesses are amounting to patterns.
The journaling method can tell you if your illness isn’t anxiety related, too. Take your journal to your doctor, armed with the information it contains. Any correlation in your symptoms can be reported and the doctor may be able to give you a diagnosis.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” background_color=”custom” lg_spacing=”padding_top:20;padding_bottom:20″ custom_background_color=”#f7f7f7″][vc_column][tm_heading custom_google_font=”” text=”Self-Assessment”][tm_spacer][vc_column_text]If you think you are suffering from an anxiety issue, you can go online and use a mood-assessment tool to check. The difference between having anxiety and having an anxiety disorder can come into play here, which is why journaling is so important. If you are feeling anxious once in a while, you are suffering from anxiety, but this is a normal human emotion you should expect to feel on occasion. If you are feeling anxious constantly, this is when it becomes a disorder.
When you perform a self-assessment through the NHS tool, it tells you your mood at the moment. If you think you have a disorder for anxiety, you will have to operate this self-assessment many times over the course of a few weeks. Although you can self-assess, we suggest you do it more than once to ascertain if you might have ongoing anxiety issues.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row lg_spacing=”padding_top:20;padding_bottom:20″][vc_column][tm_heading custom_google_font=”” text=”Ask Yourself Questions”][tm_spacer][vc_column_text]There are a few key questions you can ask yourself to ascertain whether or not you might have anxiety. If any of these methods does lead you to the conclusion that you have an ongoing disorder with anxiety. If you think you have anxiety issues that are taking over or growing worse, ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I feel panic every day, every other day, or more than three times per week? If so, this is far too often for you to be having anxiety attacks. If your life is heavily stressful at the moment, then this might still be normal. If not, you might have GAD.
- When I experience anxiety, do attacks come at reasonable times? If not, and you panic irrationally for seemingly no reason, you might have an anxiety problem. You can call Verve Healthcare if you want to go into rehab for anxiety problems in the UK.
- Are my periods of anxiety prompted by certain things, or does it come on out of nowhere? Again, irrational, illogical anxiety for no reason might be a symptom of anxiety. Seek help if this continues.
- Do you remember the last time you felt anxious and it was justified? If you can’t, your anxiety issues might be getting out of hand.
- A restlessness and sense of impending doom that persists for abnormally long periods of time. You may feel like you are suddenly being dropped into reality, which can cause disorientation.
- An inability to focus on things is a sign of anxiety, as is an inability to rest, relax, or sleep.
- You will become frustrated and irritable, based on the above.
- When this goes on for extended periods, the physical symptoms can become unmanageable. They start with sweating excessively, shaking or trembling slightly, and a rising feeling of panic in the throat.
- This throat problem leads to heart burn, indigestion, sickness, and muscle aches.
- You might experience a shortness of breath and racing heart; this culminates in a panic attack when it becomes uncontrollable.
- Headaches are common among people with excessive anxiety chemicals flooding their brain. It is also possible to get tension headaches from holding your neck and shoulders so tightly.
- Heart palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, frustration, dry mouth, sweating palms, inability to function properly – and more – are all symptoms of anxiety disorder.
