Anxiety Symptoms You Think Are Normal (But Aren't)

You're not the type who'd describe yourself as anxious. You sleep okay, mostly. You handle stress. But your heart sometimes races for no reason, you wake up at the same time every night with your mind spinning, and you've started thinking that buzzing, low-grade hum is just how being a person feels. Dr. Kat has been hearing some version of this from clients for years — and what she wants you to understand is that you might be living inside a state your nervous system has tricked you into calling rest.She walks through what anxiety actually is in the body, why chronic anxiety creates a "false resting state" where you only think you've relaxed, and why the symptoms most people brush off — early-morning waking, the freeze that keeps a kid from turning in finished homework, the conviction that you've simply "always been like this" — are signs worth taking seriously. She also covers what to do about it, including the one place not to get your anxiety medication. You don't have to live this way. Most people don't realize they don't have to.I want to hear from you!  To submit show ideas or be considered as a guest, visit https://chatwithdrkat.com/contact/Follow Chat with Dr. Kat:Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/chatwithdrkatInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chatwithdrkatYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatwithdrkatTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chatwithdrkatX:  https://x.com/ChatwithDrKatHealth & Wellness Programs:https://mindbodyseries.com/
