Sometimes the feelings of fear or anxiety continue after the difficult situation or sometimes you may feel a stronger sense of fear than other people and this is when anxiety becomes a problem and can affect you doing every day things.
Anxiety is the feeling of fear or panic. It is normal to feel anxious, panicky or fearful about situations in life, such as money problems or exams but often once the difficult situation is over, you feel better and calmer.
Productive, solvable worries are those you can take action on right away (for example, if you’re worried about your grades, you could speak to your teacher to see how you can improve). Unproductive, unsolvable worries are those for which there is no corresponding action (“What if I get cancer someday?” or “What if my children get into an accident?”).
