People who seek out therapy often describe themselves as struggling with anxiety and low mood. They can feel stuck, trapped, lost, out of control, overwhelmed or just out of sorts. 
 
This is really distressing and can start to impact on your life and what you would normally do. Some typical examples of how it can begin to affect people are: 
 
 
 
Spending time checking or doing things unnecessarily 
Worrying so much that you feel as though you’re losing control over everyday things and unable to ‘see the wood for the trees’ 
Feeling tired and fatigued with mood and struggling to get anything done 
Avoiding things that you would normally do 
Anticipating how events/situations might turn out by looking for all the things that might go wrong or be difficult to manage 
Over-analysing situations and your part in them by wondering what others think about you 
Spending time thinking about and trying to work out past events or why you are feeling how you do
