Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety
Do you feel worry, unease, or nervousness about uncertain outcomes? Maybe your heart pounds, and your palms feel clammy. These are signs of anxiety. For some, these feelings fade, but for others, they become a persistent default state.
Common Signs of Anxiety
- Feeling stuck and unable to move forward while constantly worrying, "What if..."
- A persistent uneasy feeling in your stomach with no apparent cause.
- Replaying past events in your head, impacting your sleep, mood, and decisions.
- Struggling to make decisions when it used to be easy.
These responses are common in those experiencing anxiety or overwhelm. You might want to change but feel trapped in a cycle of worry.
Anxiety in Midlife
Anxiety and overwhelm affect both men and women but often intensify in midlife women during perimenopause as hormone levels fluctuate. Even strong, independent women may suddenly find themselves overwhelmed and second-guessing decisions they once made confidently.

Signs of Excessive Stress
- Trouble sleeping—either struggling to fall asleep or waking early and unable to sleep again.
- Constant anger or frustration.
- A stomach tied in knots.
- Increased blood pressure, changes in appetite, or reaching for comfort foods.
- Overuse of alcohol, smoking, or other substances as coping mechanisms.
