When Does Anxiety Become More Than Everyday Stress?

Have you ever sat down at 9 PM on a busy weeknight, totally exhausted, and wondered how life got so busy?

Maybe you have:

1. been to after-school activities every day this week

2. worked too many hours on a project

3. cared for an elderly parent, sick child, or disabled family member

No matter the circumstance, life has taken a toll on you.

Life will always have stressors, and I wish I could tell you that therapy takes this away, but sadly, it does not.

Instead, we can identify what's going on and work towards a solution.

If it's stress, maybe we can adjust the schedule to let some things go and prioritize others. If you're experiencing stress, it will decrease by prioritizing rest, new schedules, mindfulness, and/or talking through the stressful event.

On the other hand, anxiety can be present in stressful situations, calm moments, and for months on end.

If anxiety is present more often than not, this is when everyday stress is drowned out by anxiety.

Sometimes, you can use all the skills taught in therapy and still experience anxiety. The root cause of anxiety needs to be determined so the anxiety can decrease.
