Anxiety & Panic Attacks: Find Your Calm Within
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it begins to disrupt your life—making you avoid people, places, or situations—it’s time to take action. It often stems from overthinking or replaying scenarios in your mind, triggering overwhelming emotions. For some, it’s rooted in past traumas, while for others, it may arise from uncertainty about the future.While occasional worry is part of life, chronic anxiety can feel like a never-ending loop of unease and fear.
What Are Panic Attacks?
Panic attacks are intense and sudden episodes of overwhelming fear or discomfort that can feel paralyzing. Unlike general anxiety, a panic attack strikes without warning, often leaving you feeling like you’re losing control or experiencing a life-threatening event. Panic attacks often feed the cycle of anxiety, as the fear of having another attack creates even more stress and avoidance behaviors.Do You Experience Any of These?
- Constantly worrying about the future or ruminating about the past
- Avoiding social situations, crowds, or certain places for fear of a panic attack
- Feeling an intense fear that comes out of nowhere
- Depending on others to feel safe or secure
- Turning to substances like caffeine, alcohol, or cigarettes to cope
- Feeling trapped by your thoughts and emotions
If any of these resonate with you, you might be dealing with excessive anxiety, panic attacks, or both.

What Causes Anxiety and Panic Attacks?
Both anxiety and panic attacks are responses to stress, but they are deeply influenced by how we perceive and react to life events. Triggers might include:
- Job loss or financial strain
- Relationship challenges or breakups
- Past trauma or abuse
- Bereavement or illness
- Overcommitment or burnout
- Major life changes like moving or becoming a parent
Even seemingly minor stressors can build up over time and lead to anxiety or panic episodes. External factors like caffeine, energy drinks, or substance use can also exacerbate symptoms.
