How do I identify anxiety?
happycloud7o9 March 29th, 2017

I think I have anxiety. I've been told I have anxiety. But I don't know how to identify it. idk, sometimes I feel numb and overwhelmed and have trouble identifying my emotions. I'm trying to get better at it because if I can identify what's wrong I can start working on it more.

@happycloud7o9 It sounds like you do have some ideas about how you are when anxious. Could your friends who tell you that you seem anxious give you examples? Maybe they see something you don't.

@AnnaKateMillerLCSW None of my friends or anyone in everyday life know when I'm anxious. I've had a therapist and psychiatrist tell me before I have anxiety. I don't know how to know if I'm feeling anxious though
