What is the difference between feeling worried or nervous and feeling anxious? What about when people say they have anxiety? Is it the same feeling? Sometimes we have a little worry or something makes us nervous for a short time, but when our worries start to interrupt our day and keep us from doing things we enjoy, or they start to spread into other parts of our lives, we might be experiencing anxiety.
