One thing that people don’t always understand is that anxiety can be brought on by certain triggers as well as being a day-to-day struggle. It is common for people with anxiety to have good and bad days. In a previous blog, I talked about how healing is not always linear. You may be having a good day and managing your anxiety well and then a trigger can hit.
Some common anxiety triggers can be:
- Past trauma
- Life transitions
- Relationship conflicts
- Negative beliefs
- Health concerns
- Alcohol and drugs
- Difficulty sleeping
- Bullying
- World events
- Stressful work environments
