Recognition
Do any of these feel familiar?
People with chronic apprehension describe a constant background hum of worry — as though perpetually waiting for something bad to happen. The mind generates scenarios of what could go wrong, and reassurance provides only temporary relief before anxiety shifts to the next concern. This can be exhausting and significantly impair enjoyment of the present.
