#2 I was in a happy relationship, but the joy quickly faded when I returned home from spring break. Everything I thought triggered some other thought about something I had to do. Life felt unfair and constricting.

#3 I was turning into my mother, who was always stressed about something. I couldn’t turn back on without jolting, and I couldn’t adjust from state to state or event to event without tensing and reacting.

#4 Anxiety is defined as an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes. Women are more likely to suffer from anxiety than men, and it is believed that we worry twice as much as men.
