3 Signs Anxiety Has Become Harmful to Your Life

Anxiety is a natural part of life, but when it starts to interfere with your daily functioning, it can become a significant problem. Here are three signs that anxiety may be negatively impacting your life:

Disrupted Sleep Patterns

• Struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or experiencing restless nights can be a strong indicator of anxiety or depression. Poor sleep leaves you feeling exhausted and less equipped to handle the daily stressors that come your way.

Over-Controlling Tendencies

• If you find yourself trying to manage every detail of your life and those around you—worrying about whether Jeff picked up his prescription or if Sam remembered his assignment is due tomorrow—it’s a sign that anxiety is taking over. This constant state of worry stresses both your mind and body, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and trapped in a vicious cycle.

Difficulty Making Decisions

• Anxiety often causes indecisiveness. When you get caught up in the endless “What Ifs” and “What Thens” of potential scenarios, it can paralyze you, making it difficult to make decisions and increasing your anxiety about future outcomes.
