Let Us Talk About Anxiety
The Reality Behind the Silence
Anxiety is far more than worry. It is far more than nerves. For many people, it is a constant and exhausting force that affects how they think, how they work and how they show up in their relationships.
Society may accept stress, but persistent anxiety is often ignored, minimised or dismissed, leaving too many people to struggle on their own.
Anxiety impacts the whole body. It can affect sleep, concentration and emotional balance, but it can also manifest physically through headaches, nausea, muscle tension and even contribute to long term conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
When we pretend it is “all in the mind,” we prevent people from seeking support and understanding their symptoms.
This feature opens the door to a more honest conversation about what anxiety truly looks like and why recognising it is a crucial step towards wellbeing.
If you or someone you know has been carrying this silently, this piece offers clarity, compassion and practical insight.
