Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I've never been the type of person to get nervous before a show. I was born to act, and it's my passion. But recently, I've started to get very anxious at rehearsals, to the point where I have to step outside and calm down. Normally, rehearsals are my happy place, but now I can't wait to get out of them.

My own anxiety comes and goes in unpredictable waves. With all the social chaos of these covidic times, my anxiety is less predictable than ever. I seldom have clear indicators what is triggering it, nor when it will pass. Plying therapy tools in place of agonizing over such details helps me hold a steady course while I wait as patiently as possible for ^it^ to pass. Oftentimes, the patient observation leads me to the whys and wherefores, but more often ^it^ simply passes or I find new coping tools to deal.
But that is me and every case is unique.
Gentle support while you sort what it is in your case.
Welcome aboard.
