7 signs of anxiety you shouldn’t ignore

Anxiety is more than just feeling nervous before a big event. For many people, it’s a chronic condition that interferes with daily life, work, sleep, and relationships. Yet, because anxiety can show up in subtle ways, it often goes undiagnosed—or is mistaken for stress or personality traits.

Here are 7 signs of anxiety you shouldn’t ignore, especially if they’ve been affecting you for weeks or months.

1Constant worry that feels out of control If your mind is always racing with “what ifs” and you can’t relax or focus, it might be more than everyday stress. Persistent worry, even without a clear cause, is a common sign of anxiety.

2Physical signs: racing heart, tension, or restlessness Anxiety often shows up in the body—through a pounding heart, tight chest, muscle tension, stomach issues, or feeling constantly on edge.

3Difficulty sleeping or restless nights Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling exhausted can all be linked to anxiety. Racing thoughts often make it hard to wind down.

4Overthinking and “what-if” thinking Anxiety can trap you in loops of overanalyzing and worst-case scenarios, making it tough to let go of even minor concerns.

5Avoiding triggers and everyday tasks Avoiding people, places, or tasks that cause fear may feel like relief at first, but it often makes anxiety worse over time.

6Irritability and feeling easily overwhelmed Feeling tense, snappy, or overstimulated is a common but overlooked symptom of anxiety—especially when small things start to feel unmanageable.

7Panic attacks and sudden fear Panic attacks can cause chest tightness, dizziness, or a fear of losing control. Even one episode is a valid reason to seek help.

When to reach out for help

If anxiety is starting to affect your daily life, relationships, or work—and it’s not getting better—it’s time to talk to a mental health professional. Our board-certified psychiatrists and psychologists provide personalized care through evaluations, medication management, therapy coordination, and ongoing support. You don’t have to navigate this alone—help is here.
