Fighting Anxiety with Power

Is it Anxiety or Atoms Bursting with Potential?

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health struggles in America, affecting millions of people every day.

⚠️️ Over 40 million adults in the U.S. experience an anxiety disorder each year.
⚠️ Nearly 1 in 3 adolescents will struggle with anxiety before they reach adulthood.
⚠️ Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, yet only 36% of people receive the help they need.
⚠️ Untreated anxiety can lead to depression, social isolation, and even suicidal thoughts.

At Fighting S.A.D., we believe that power isn’t just about strength—it’s about resilience, courage, and the ability to regain control of your life. Anxiety makes you feel powerless, but you are far stronger than your fears. We help you take back control.

Why Strength Matters in Overcoming Anxiety

Anxiety isn’t just “overthinking” or “worrying too much”—it can take over your thoughts, emotions, and even physical well-being. But research shows that developing resilience and coping strategies can:

✔ Reduce symptoms of panic, worry, and self-doubt
✔ Improve emotional stability and self-confidence
✔ Strengthen relationships and social well-being
✔ Enhance mental clarity and physical health

Anxiety thrives in fear, avoidance, and uncertainty—but power is built through action, structure, and courage.

I love the idea but i fear the thought.

Anxiety lives here rent free.

I fiddle my thumbs. Anxiety runs through my veins. I check my phone, once, twice, thrice and still no reply. I huff and I puff, I'm suffocating on dry land. Tomorrow is a new day, there's nothing new about drowning in sweat and pain again. Why does my brain run at this speed? No destination in mind - it goes its own way.

Help, help, help - I'm running and I can't stop, Help, help, help I'm crashing and I won't survive.

I lived, what a pain. Tomorrow will be filled with anxiety once again.

What Anxiety Looks Like Through Ages

Recognizing Anxiety in Young Children

Anxiety in young children often appears differently than in adults, sometimes showing up as physical symptoms, behavioral changes, or excessive worry.

Common Signs of Anxiety in Children:

Unexplained physical symptoms like headaches or stomachaches
Frequent nightmares or trouble sleeping
Avoidance of certain places, activities, or social interactions
Clinginess to parents or caregivers
Difficulty focusing or concentrating
Constant worry about future events or imagined dangers
Tantrums or emotional meltdowns over minor issues
Fears that seem excessive for their age
Sudden drops in grades or changes in school behavior

Anxiety in children is real and valid. Recognizing these signs early helps create a safe space for them to express their fears and develop healthy coping strategies.

Recognizing Anxiety in Adolescents

Teen anxiety can be overwhelming and isolating, often appearing as excessive worry, avoidance, or physical discomfort. Social pressures, academic expectations, and self-doubt can amplify these struggles.

Common Signs of Anxiety in Adolescents:

Persistent worry or fear about social situations
Fear of public speaking or performing
Avoidance of social activities due to embarrassment or self-consciousness
Perfectionism and intense fear of failure
Substance use as a way to cope
Restlessness, fatigue, or trouble concentrating
Changes in eating or sleeping habits
Unexplained physical symptoms like headaches, stomachaches, or chest pain

If left unaddressed, anxiety can impact confidence, relationships, and daily life. Recognizing these signs early can help teens develop healthier coping mechanisms and feel supported in managing their fears.

Recognizing Anxiety in Young Adults

Anxiety in young adults is often rooted in responsibilities, career pressure, relationships, and the uncertainty of the future. It can manifest as excessive worry, avoidance, or even physical exhaustion.

Common Signs of Anxiety in Young Adults:

Persistent worry or fear about responsibilities, career, or relationships
Avoidance of social situations due to fear or overthinking
Substance use as a coping mechanism
Difficulty concentrating or a “mind going blank”
Sleep disturbances—trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up restless
Physical symptoms like muscle tension, restlessness, and chronic fatigue

Anxiety at this stage of life can feel debilitating, but recognizing the signs is the first step toward regaining control, building resilience, and finding support.

Recognizing Anxiety in Adults

Anxiety in adulthood is often tied to responsibilities, daily stressors, and long-term worries about work, family, health, and finances. It can be persistent and overwhelming, affecting both mental and physical well-being.

Common Signs of Anxiety in Adults:

Excessive worry about work, family, health, or finances
Restlessness or feeling constantly on edge
Difficulty controlling anxious thoughts
Irritability and emotional overwhelm
Sleep disturbances—trouble falling or staying asleep
Physical symptoms like fatigue, muscle tension, headaches, or stomachaches
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety

Anxiety can feel relentless, but it is manageable. Awareness and proactive coping strategies can help regain balance and peace of mind.
