When anxiety is triggered

Signs and symptoms of anxiety include feeling restless, wound-up, or on-edge and being easily fatigued

“Is the same feeling, you know that anxious feeling. You does call it anxiety, well that is what happening right now. It will pass man, but you know is how a feeling man, you know…”

That was what a voice note from a close acquaintance who I had not heard from for a few days. I know whenever I don’t hear from her something might be up, so I messaged her and asked how she was doing. By the end of the voice note, her voice cracked, and I knew there were tears. I asked her if she could pin down the reason for her feelings or if she was just in a funk – as a close friend of mine would be the same from time to time.
