What's the difference between anxiety and worrying?

Anxiety and worrying are pretty synonymous. However anxiety disorders and worrying are quite different. An anxiety disorder is a prolonged struggle with anxieties/worries that adversely affects your day-to-day life. There are several symptoms and signs that a professional will look for before diagnosing someone with anxiety disorder. An anxiety disorder may (often) need therapy and/or medications to be managed and allow the person struggling with it to live a more fulfilling and less painful life.

When you are worried you feel like you have control over your worries and it does not affect you usual activities, also it lasts for a certain period of time and you worry only about really relevant things. When you have anxiety, you feel like it is an uncontrollable feeling and you worry about important and not so important things. The worry affects you directly: you feel tired, you cant do your usual activities and you feel worried all the time. Well, this kinda of summarizes everything. Hope it helps you to understand a little more about it.

Well, anxiety is usually worse, and limits you a lot in your (daily) life. People with anxiety experience heavy reactions on stressful things, like being physically sick and not being able to sleep.

Anxiety is an fear of something unknown that you dream may ruin things around you. Worrying is known and can be avoided if proper support it provided.

anxiety doesnt go away and the feeling is very intense. Worrying passes quickly and doesnt occupy your mind

Worrying means to be nervous about something for a short period of time but anxiety means to be anxious everyday for simple reasons

Anxiety is believing there's an issue with no solution. You feel tremendously stuck. Worrying is a peculiar feeling that you know would wash away but is geting over you momentarily.

From my experience, I'd say the difference is anxiety is also a phsyical sensation as well as a mental one.

I think it's a question of time, when your worrying gets a git too long it might leed to anxiety. At that moment it's not just your mind that become tired but even your body has repercussion, cause anxiety become something that doesn't leave you anymore.

anxiety is a physical response to stimuli, worrying is the mind constantly working over the problems.
