Can fear and anxiety take over your life?
Fear and anxiety can last for a short time and then pass, but they can also last much longer and you can get stuck with them. In some cases they can take over your life, affecting your ability to eat, sleep, concentrate, travel, enjoy life, or even leave the house or go to work or school.

But the fear they may cause you can be more unsettling than the attack itself.

Anxiety problems tend to increase if you get into this pattern.
