At what point is it considered anxiety?

Anxiety is what it is at the moment you feel overpowered by stress, fear or nerves and you cannot relieve it in the moment.

When you're constantly thinking about things, worrying and obsessing over them. You might be irrationally fearful of certain situations, people, or thoughts a lot. Anxiety is intense, it can paralyze you with fear. Fear, stress, and anxiety are all related, but very different. Anxiety is overly stressed and fearful about things that people typically don't put much thought into. Anxiety can manifest in many ways.. Some people who have anxiety find themselves worrying constantly, feeling like something horrible is going to happen all of the time. A sense of impeding doom. Others fixate on things and situations. They have panic attacks.. Etc. Anxiety is more than fear.

You stepped into an unwanted situation or a haunting memory crept into your mind. You feel your mind racing, your heart almost stopping every single second. You feel the bile in your throat like a candy you swallowed forcing its way up. Your mind gets blank that you don't remember what happened or why you're feeling anxious. You can't think what's the next step. It all settles down when you step out of the situation or snap out of your trance to assure yourself. The blur starts to clear and you can see again. You're good. Just the usual occurrence.

Nervousness is normal for certain things, it becomes anxiety when it is more elevated levels of nervousness, shaking and heart beat. This may occur a few hours before the event and may become more frequent.

When it becomes intrusive to your life and you feel that you have a hard time going through your normal life

1) daily activities becomes difficult 2) for prolong period you are not progressive 3) when it becomes difficult the stuff that was easy for you before

I think that you know yourself best. If something feels off emotionally or physically, that's probably a pretty good place to start. Become an existential expert on yourself and gauge when you think you're maintaining yourself. For me, I knew I started to experience anxiety when I felt terrible physically. I had tension headaches, insomnia, heart fluttering and bad fatigue. It looks and feels different for everyone but take heart it knowing it's very common.

Your journey with anxiety is your own. If you feel nervous or anxious, its not for anyone else to tell you that you're not. If you are avoiding situations and not feeling/acting the same, you've got to ask yourself if you're okay with this. To get out of a cycle you have to break it, you can have help and support but ultimately it's your decision to change what makes you unhappy. Hope this has helped in any way!

I consider it to be anxiety when it gets irrational and makes it hard for you to function and be happy.

I've struggled with anxiety over the last couple years.. I was having heart palpitations, sob, dizziness, and my chest always felt tights. I don't think there's really a "point" but sometimes people don't realize they're having anxiety.. The symptoms are so vast because anxiety affects all people differently mentally and physically.

It is a state when you are not even comfortable with yourself.The world itself seems to be against you.You need some one to be with you just to comfort you.

Physiologically, it's when you get nervous sweats, your heart is racing to the point where it's hard to breathe or speak, you're immobilized and you feel like backing away from your task.

I think it is considered anxiety when it affects your daily routine. Whether it's sleep, school, sports, drama, clubs, anything. It's anxiety when it affects your life and it can be little or small. It can be worse or better. Nobody is exactly the same.

Anything from the smallest things to the biggest things like can't do gardening because Your to scared to go outside to have a full blown attack stand in McDonalds

People can be scared at times, but it's considered anxiety when it really takes over your life. It's good to know that when a fear takes over your life, you should get help. You're not alone.

Anxiety has different realms, you could have seasonal anxiety, which depends on the seasons of the year, or performance anxiety, like performing or taking a test, or just general/chronic anxiety which is year-round. Year round anxiety depends on the severity but at the end of the day, if you have the physical representations of anxiety, you have it. It can be very simple, fixed with meditation and deep breathing, or chronic to the point of medication. There is always a way to get help and/or manage anxiety.

This is a good question. Many people believe they struggle with anxiety, when it may only be a common stressed out feeling. I think once it starts to interfere with your daily life, if you have panic attacks, or when you can't control it, that's when you know you may need to talk to someone, go see a counselor, or potentially take medication if it affects your life in a significant way.

Perhaps you should ask a medical professional after describing your thoughts and feelings, to establish if you do have anxiety or just some symptoms :)

I'm not a doctor so I can only give you my personal symptoms with it. I get clammy hands, sweat a lot, feel dizzy/faint, sick, can't breath properly etc....Really though you should consult you're own doctor just to be sure.

It can be considered anxiety at any pint, if you feel you have anxiety disorder you should visit your GP! They can help you,

Are you asking anxiety in general or anxiety disorder? Anxiety can be any time you are stuck in the brain stem or the fight or flight reflex. So if you're asking general nervousness vs the fight or flight reflex, anxiety is when you are really feeling unsafe panicky, out of your comfort zone and may have trouble breathing or start having chest pains. general nervousness is a more mild sensation and isn't all consuming and doesn't feel like emending doom. Anxiety feels like a tightness or pressure on your chest, where nervousness does not.

I feel as though anxiety is experienced by everyone. When you are nervous about a test, or driving on the highway, or public speaking, or maybe even large crowds. What is different to me is having an anxiety disorder, which to me is that feeling the very first time you got on a roller coaster, and you were scared that you were going to die, even though you were aware no one dies on roller coasters, but this is the one time it would happen and it would be to you. That is the feeling. And it is all the time, and there is no reason for it. That is the difference between experiencing anxiety and having an anxiety disorder.
