Exercise 2 – What Does Your Behavior Say of You?

Check off statements that apply to you.

• I find myself crying for no reason.
• There are times when I feel empty and can’t make myself do what I want to do.
• I avoid socializing.
• I avoid risks.
• I also avoid doing fun stuff because I worry about the possible risk involved.
• I’m afraid of failure and judgment.
• I get fidgety.
• I obsess over the past, worry about the future, and can rarely stay in the present.

And About Your Body?

• I have no appetite.
• I’m always hungry.
• My palms sweat all the time.
• I can feel nauseous, lightheaded, cold, and shaky when anxious.
• My heart races when I worry.
• I feel cold and weak too.
• I have very little energy. 

Again, there is no scoring system to rate your anxiety. The more symptoms you check off, the more likely you are experiencing anxiety.

Note: Now, some of the previous symptoms can also result from various other reasons, and so, we suggest you consult your primary care physician before making any conclusions.
