What is Anxiety, Really? Beyond just feeling worried…

Ever feel like your body's screaming "danger!" when there's no actual tiger in sight? That's often anxiety playing its physiological tricks! Beyond just a racing mind, anxiety actually kicks your body into "fight or flight" mode.

Think of it like this: your internal alarm system goes off, flooding you with stress hormones. Your heart beats faster, breathing quickens, muscles tense up, and blood rushes to your limbs – all preparing you to run or fight. While intense, these responses are your body's way of trying to protect you!
