Recognizing anxiety in yourself can be easier than recognizing it in someone else. That’s because many people can actually hide their anxiety. You don’t know the feelings of panic they’re experiencing. But there are clues when your family member or friend is developing anxiety. In my friend, the first clue was a loss of interest in playing tennis. She’s always been a huge tennis fan, and we have played regularly for years. She started complaining she was tired all the time and began to talk badly about herself. This woman is gorgeous, and it was very disconcerting to listen to her disparage herself.
If finally sat her down and told her what I was noticing. Much to my relief she admitted she was having regular anxiety attacks and they were making her feel sad and fearful. I suggested she get herself to a doctor right away, which she did. When she felt better a few weeks later, she thanked me.

You should not be afraid to say something to people you love who seem have anxiety or depression symptoms. The sooner you treat these disorders, the sooner they can be reversed.
