In other words, does anxiety cause scary events to feel scarier, or do</p><p>scary events cause more anxiety?</p><p><br></p><p>It's a bit of both.</p><p><br></p><p>Imagine you're on a plane that hits some turbulence. If you're already prone to</p><p>anxiety, you might find this experience really frightening, even if it's just normal</p><p>bumps. On the other hand, if this is one of your first flights and it's a rough one,</p><p>you might start feeling anxious about flying in the future, even though flying is</p><p>generally safe.</p><p>Your brain is designed to keep you safe. The anxiety part of the brain, the</p><p>amygdala, is like a radar that is trained to spot dangerous objects and situations.</p><p>When this “radar” spots something that could be dangerous, it tells the brain to</p><p>begin the fight or run away, producing the uncomfortable feelings you get when</p><p>you are anxious.</p><p>Understanding your triggers is a big step in managing your anxiety. It's like</p><p>being a detective in your own life, uncovering clues to help you feel better.</p><p>Remember, whether the chicken or the egg came first doesn't matter as much as</p><p>understanding how they affect each other in your world.</p><p><br></p><p>“What if I don’t know what triggers my anxiety?”</p><p>To identify what makes you anxious, ask yourself the following questions:</p><p>a. When I feel scared or nervous, what am I thinking about?</p><p>b. Am I worried about having more anxiety in the future?</p><p>c. Am I afraid of body sensations that remind me of anxiety attacks?</p><p>d. Am I worried that I will not be able to cope if bad things happen?</p><p><br></p><p>Forster, G. L., Novick, A.
