It’s normal to have anxiety from time to time. It’s what you feel when you’re worried, tense or afraid of things that are about to happen, or that you think could happen in the future.
But anxiety becomes a problem when it starts to interfere with your day-to-day and impact your ability to live a full life. You may need help if your anxious feelings:
•
Last more than a few days or weeks
•
Keep you from doing daily activities like connecting with friends or leaving the house to run errands
•
Lead to physical symptoms such as stomach pain, headache, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath or sweating
Don’t let feelings of worry, dread or fear take over your life. MyStrength, available at no cost to you, is here to help. The myStrength by Teladoc program is available to all current Blue Cross and Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan members, 13 and older.

Try it out: “Snacking” on anxiety
Plan time to worry. For example, set aside 10 minutes to think about your worries at lunch. Having the freedom to worry at a certain time may help you manage anxiety the rest of the day.
