Where Does Anxiety Come From?
This is a question that I am often asked!
We are all able to tolerate some degree of stress in our lives. Think about it, if you never felt stressed it is likely that you would laze around on the sofa all day doing, well, not every much.
So, a certain amount of stress is useful, as it gets us to do things and live a productive life.
Problems arise when stress turns to anxiety. This occurs when the amount of stress that we are experiencing becomes too much for us to tolerate.
How much is too much stress?
This is a difficult question to answer because some people are able to cope with more stress than others. To complicate matters further, that which one person finds stressful another does not.
We each have our own saturation point, a level where we are unable to cope anymore and this is when stress turns to anxiety and can be manifested in several ways including a general anxiety disorder, panic attacks and OCD.
