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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.
