Anxiety Therapy Singapore | Anxiety Counselling in Singapore

Anxiety is like having a never-ending worry machine in your head, constantly buzzing with “WHAT IFs” and worst-case scenarios. It’s that tight knot in your stomach that won’t go away, no matter how hard you try to relax. Some days, it feels like you’re stuck in a maze of fears, with no clear way out. Seeking help through therapy can make a big difference in managing and overcoming its effects.

10 Common Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety

Excessive Worry: Persistent and excessive worry about everyday situations, often out of proportion to the actual threat.
Restlessness: Feeling on edge, unable to relax, and constantly feeling as if something bad is about to happen.
Fatigue: Experiencing significant tiredness or exhaustion despite adequate sleep, often due to the constant mental strain.
Difficulty Concentrating: Finding it hard to focus, concentrate, or remember things, with the mind frequently going blank.
Irritability: Becoming easily irritated or agitated, often over minor issues, as a result of heightened stress and anxiety.
Muscle Tension: Experiencing muscle tightness, soreness, or tension, particularly in the shoulders, neck, and back.
Sleep Disturbances: Having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restless and unsatisfying sleep, often due to racing thoughts.
Panic Attacks: Sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort, accompanied by physical symptoms such as a pounding heart, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, and a feeling of impending doom.

Physical Symptoms: Experiencing physical symptoms such as headaches, stomachaches, nausea, dizziness, or frequent urination, without any apparent medical cause.

10 Negative Effects of Long Term Anxiety

Decline in Mental Health: Untreated anxiety can worsen over time, leading to more severe symptoms and potentially developing into other mental health disorders like depression or panic disorder.
Interference with Daily Functioning: Persistent anxiety can impair concentration, memory, and decision-making abilities, making it challenging to perform daily tasks at work, school, or home.
Strained Relationships: Anxiety can cause irritability, emotional withdrawal, and difficulty expressing emotions, which may strain relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners.
Physical Health Problems: Chronic anxiety can contribute to various physical health issues, including headaches, digestive problems, muscle tension, and weakened immune function.
Disrupted Sleep Patterns: Anxiety often leads to difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restful sleep, which can further exacerbate stress and fatigue.
Increased Risk of Substance Abuse: Some individuals may turn to alcohol, drugs, or other substances as a way to cope with anxiety symptoms, increasing the risk of substance abuse and dependency.
Social Isolation: Fear and avoidance of social situations due to anxiety can lead to social isolation and loneliness, further worsening mental health and reducing quality of life.
Negative Impact on Self-Esteem: Chronic anxiety can erode self-confidence and self-esteem, leading to feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness, and self-doubt.
Financial Consequences: Impaired work performance, increased healthcare costs, and potential job loss due to untreated anxiety can result in financial strain and instability.
Suicidal Thoughts or Behavior: In severe cases, untreated anxiety can lead to feelings of hopelessness and despair, increasing the risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviors.
