Anxiety and anger are two distinct emotions that provide us information about ourselves and our environment. While they are different, there are several ways that they can interact.
Anxiety is the worry or fear that is felt in response to a perceived threat. The hallmark symptoms are: bodily tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes. Anxiety is often in response to feeling out of control. While too much anxiety can be paralyzing, studies show that mild to moderate anxiety can sometimes serve as a catalyst for making a change or getting things done.
