Anxiety is a condition where we have persistent worry about things in daily life. Some of the symptoms of anxiety are restlessness, sweating, trembling, feeling weak and tired. Anxiety symptoms vary from person to person, but certain factors contribute to morning anxiety. Explaining this, Therapist Andrea Evgeniou wrote, "It's worth noting that everyone's experience with anxiety is different, and there may be other factors that contribute to morning anxiety for some individuals. If you are struggling with anxiety symptoms, it's important to seek professional help from a mental health provider."(Unsplash)
