Many people experience anxiety at some point in their lives. Even though it may be different for each person, you aren't alone in feeling anxious. If you're struggling with anxiety or worry, or think you might be having a panic attack, there are 2 helplines in Kenya who can understand how you're feeling. The following are just some examples of anxiety symptoms:

• Feeling like something bad is going to happen
• Trembling, sweating, or feeling clammy
• Ruminating (spending a lot of time obsessing over things that are worrying you)
• Struggling to control thoughts and feelings that are centered around things you're worried about
• Holding tension in your body (clenched jaw, tension in shoulders and neck, frowning without realizing)
• Avoiding situations that cause worry
• Sudden shortness of breath
• Unable to switch your brain off

All of these are normal symptoms of anxiety. Some of these are similar to what you might feel during stressful times, but with anxiety, you might feel these even when there isn't anything causing you to be stressed. Some people also experience anxiety or panic attacks, which are sudden moments of very intense panic or fear.

Although anxiety can make you feel alone in your struggles, what you're going through is very common. There's always help available in Kenya, and someone to help you understand and manage your anxiety.
