@mindwithpriya: Anxiety symptoms can feel scary — racing heart, feeling sick, sweating, butterflies, feeling like you need to escape… but there’s a reason your body does this. 🧠 Anxiety is essentially your body’s alarm system trying to protect you from a perceived threat. The problem is, sometimes that alarm goes off when we’re uncomfortable rather than actually in danger. One of my favourite ways of thinking about it: Your alarm going off doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a fire. Understanding what anxiety is and why it happens can be a really helpful first step in changing how you respond to it. 💗 #anxiety #anxietysymptoms #anxietyhelp #anxietytips #cbt
