Anxiety is very common and can be helpful in small amounts, but it can also be very challenging and debilitating. Originally, the fight or flight response that is involved in anxiety was helpful for remembering whether certain foods were poisonous and other scenarios that involved identifying something as threatening/non-threatening.
