Anxiety is essentially your fight/flight reaction getting triggered. This floods your brain and body with many different chemicals and hormones.

You’re then basically on the edge of running away or getting in a fight. This was incredibly useful when we were in the food chain or in competition.

We still have these instincts even though they do us more harm than good for the most part nowadays.
