If you find yourself worrying excessively about various aspects of your life, from work to personal relationships, and this worry is difficult to control, it may be a sign of anxiety. This constant state of worry can lead to feeling restless and on edge.

Anxiety often affects sleep patterns. If you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling unrested, anxiety might be the culprit. Insomnia and frequent nightmares are also common among those with anxiety.

Anxiety can manifest physically through symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, digestive issues, and fatigue. These symptoms often have no medical explanation and can be persistent.

Avoiding situations or activities that trigger your anxiety is a common sign. This could include avoiding social gatherings, work meetings, or other events that you fear will cause anxiety.

Feeling irritable or restless is another sign of anxiety. If small things make you overly agitated, or you find it difficult to sit still or relax, anxiety may be influencing your mood and behavior.
