Recognizing the Signs of Anxiety
Do you notice constant overthinking, restlessness, or physical tension that never seems to fade — even after a productive day? Common symptoms of anxiety include:
- Persistent nervousness or tension
- Excessive worry
- Rapid heartbeat or sweating
- Difficulty concentrating
- Irritability or muscle tension
- Sleep disturbances
- Digestive issues
If these experiences sound familiar, know that you’re not alone — and that relief is possible.
Why Anxiety Is Common Among Manhattan High Achievers
Life in Manhattan can amplify the stress response.
- The pace of success: Constant deadlines and competition create nonstop adrenaline.
- Perfectionism culture: Striving for excellence can fuel self-criticism and worry.
- Isolation in achievement: Even surrounded by people, many feel emotionally disconnected.
- Financial and lifestyle pressures: The cost of living, long commutes, and city noise keep the nervous system on alert.
Our goal is to help you regulate that stress — not by losing your drive, but by supporting it with emotional steadiness and clarity.
