Living with anxiety is so much more than getting nervous before a presentation or test. It is often living with the (false) knowledge that people don’t like you, you are going to fail, something terrible is going to happen, or you or someone you love is going to die.  When people feel anxious they often feel irritable and find themselves snapping at the people closest to them.

A big part of growing up is learning how to identify, express and cope with emotions in a healthy, productive way.

They may act in ways that seem like they don't make "sense."

When does pain become trauma? The difference between pain and trauma is how someone heals after a difficult life event.  If a traumatic event shapes and changes the way you think about yourself, your future, and what you can expect from others and society you are at risk for developing emotional health difficulties rooted in trauma.
