Worry is a state of anxiety and uncertainty over actual or potential problems, often stemming from anticipatory fear. It's a natural response to perceived threats, but excessive worry can be debilitating. Worry feels like a constant mental chatter, where your mind races through worst-case scenarios, leaving you feeling restless, tense, and on edge. It shows up when you face uncertain situations, such as financial instability, health concerns, or environmental threats. Understanding worry helps you recognize its protective function while also learning to manage it constructively.
