1.     Your anxiety is holding you back from doing things that matter to you.

The biggest indicator that your anxiety is no longer helpful is when it is holding you back from doing the things that matter most to you.

Is your anxiety holding you back from going places you care about, or leaving the house at all? Is it holding you back from keeping in touch with friends, opening up to people about difficult topics, or meeting new people through a virtual Meet-Up group? Is your anxiety keeping you from applying to a new job, trying out a new hobby, or studying for that upcoming test? Is your anxiety interfering with you living your life the way you want to live it? This is a key sign that therapy could be helpful for you.
