Not all anxiety is ‘bad anxiety.’ Some anxiety is a normal part of life, like the feeling you get before you start a new job or if you have to speak in front of a large crowd. This anxiety occurs when a challenge appears, then dissipates once the challenge has resolved. Anxiety becomes a problem when it becomes unbearable, interfering with daily functioning and lingering beyond a specific challenge, instead affecting various aspects of your life (like work, school, or family). This type of anxiety is very common, and very treatable.
Sometimes people confuse panic attacks and anxiety. Recurrent panic attacks are considered a type of anxiety disorder, but are more physically and psychologically intense and sometimes come out of nowhere. Generalized anxiety is more gradual, more prevalent, and may not be triggered by something specific, but rather is triggered by various aspects of your life.
