Anxiety
We all know what anxiety feels like.
Your heart pounds before a big presentation or a tough exam. You get butterflies in your stomach during a blind date. You worry and fret over family problems or feel jittery at the prospect of asking the boss for a raise. These are all natural reactions.
However, if worries, fears, or anxiety attacks seem overwhelming and are preventing you from living your life the way you’d like to, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder.
Fortunately, many anxiety treatments and self-help strategies can help you reduce your anxiety symptoms, control anxiety attacks, and take back control of your life.
Depression
Feeling down from time to time is a normal part of life. But when emptiness and despair take hold and won’t go away, it may be depression.
More than just the temporary “blues,” the lows of depression make it tough to function and enjoy life.
Depression can make you feel helpless, hopeless, or empty and numb; but there’s a lot you can do to change how you feel.
With help and support, you can overcome depression and get your life back.
The key to recovery is to start small and take things one day at a time.
Feeling better takes time, but you can get there if you make positive choices for yourself each day and draw on the support of others.
When the going gets rough turn to wonder.
