"What if?" thoughts that won't stop. 💭

A heart that races for no obvious reason.

Replaying conversations. 🔁

Expecting the worst.

Feeling exhausted from carrying invisible stress. 😪

Anxiety isn't always visible, but that doesn't make it any less real. Understanding the experience can help us respond to ourselves and others with greater compassion. 💛
