Anxiety and increased irritability are best buddies. 

Sometimes a person complains that everything drives them mad, and later we discover that the reason lies in increased personal anxiety. 

How does it work? 

Anxiety incites CONSTANT tension.

Tension consumes resources. 

Without resources, a person feels exhausted. 

Any action, even simple concentration, requires more effort and time.

Exhaustion causes irritability.

Anxiety incites helplessness. 

Most people don’t know how to get out of anxiety, it feels overpowering.         

Helplessness triggers irritation, because no one likes to feel worthless and weak. 

Anxiety incites communication problems. 

It may be difficult for other people to understand the problem of an anxious person. 

And it’s not always because they are ignorant or insensitive, but often because the anxious person themselves cannot clearly formulate what is happening exactly and why they “feel bad”.

You are not sure where to begin?

When they don’t understand you, it’s infuriating.

Anxiety does not let you satisfy your needs. 

You waste all your energy on pointless control, tension, hectic attempts to keep in balance. So there’s simply no more energy left to fulfill your desires, to achieve goals, and satisfy your needs. 

Suppressed needs cause irritation.

Anxiety overloads the head. 

Recurrent thoughts, scrolling through situations, frightening fantasies – all this is like a crazy merry-go-round that can’t be stopped. 

This mental chewing on brings about insomnia, haziness in the head, pain, and difficulty concentrating. Imagine that you are constantly living in a cluttered room, bumping into one thing or another.

Of course, it’s annoying. 

If you are noticing increased irritability in yourself, check where you stand with anxiety. Most likely, you will find that you are really lacking calm and stability.
