I’ve been struggling with anxiety for quite a long time. It seems to be getting worse and worse. I’m stuck in my head all the time. There is never a time where my thoughts stop. I am on constant alert and stressed 24/7 with no logical reason. I need to be perfect all the time. Its devolving into unhealthy expectations on myself and constant bashing on myself. I get angry, irratable and have panic attacks if I don’t meet my expectations I set myself . Is this a symptom of anxiety?
