Some common symptoms include restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. It's important to consult a mental health professional if you're experiencing these symptoms regularly and impacting your daily life. Take care, Admin

For example, some people might have frequent headaches or stomachaches due to anxiety. Remember, everyone's experience with anxiety is unique, and seeking support is crucial. Warmly, Admin
