When unexpected things happen some anxiety is normal and completely understandable, in many cases it is necessary because it provokes action.
Anxiety, a common problem
1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem such as anxiety or depression in any given week in England.
Because of the limits of NHS time and resources approximately only 1 in 3 adults with those common mental health issues like anxiety or depression are currently getting treatment in the form of talking therapies, medication or both.
Anxiety is no fun, and it's one of the most debilitating and difficult things for people to deal with, but help is available.
As well as possible problems at home or in relationships, in the grips of anxiety an individuals work patterns may also begin to suffer. As a result people often experience increasing stress and money worries.
Unhealthy coping strategies
In an attempt to feel better, anxious people may turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms like drinking more than safe levels of alcohol or comfort eating, the mistaken belief is that this may help relieve the anxiety and stress they are feeling.

Understanding anxiety and what triggers it is important and it is perhaps with this understanding that improvements really can begin.
It is simple to learn coping strategies that will give you the ability to help yourself.
