Jini explains that anxiety is a feeling or state of uneasiness, worry, or tension. Which can happen out of the blue or be triggered by a certain event, she shares that there are three main aspects of anxiety, how she sees anxiety manifest for men and what you can do at home to conquer your anxiety.
