If you feel tense or uneasy, even when everything seems “fine,” it might be time to check in with yourself.
Notice background anxiety that won’t go away
Some forms of anxiety don’t have a clear cause — they feel like a low hum under everything you do. You might not be able to explain why your chest feels tight, or why you’re constantly bracing for something to go wrong. It’s not about drama — it’s a quiet, persistent discomfort that wears on your peace of mind. A self-assessment can’t offer a diagnosis, but it may help highlight these invisible patterns. Taking time to reflect can be a way to name what you’re feeling — and remind yourself that your emotions matter, even if they don’t “make sense.”
