Worry

[5] Seriously anxious people find it difficult to control their worry and typically experience symptoms like restlessness, fatigue, difficulty in concentrating, irritability, muscle tension and sleep disturbance.

Emotional processing biases influence the probability of threat representations into the awareness as intruding negative or positive thoughts.

The biases determine threatening degree and nature of worry content the worrier attempts to resolve the perceived threat and the redirection of anticipations, responses and coping in such situations.

St. Paul writes to the Philippian church, "There is no need to worry"[18] and in the pastoral epistles, 2 Timothy 1:7 emboldens: Similarly James 1:2-4 motivates to face trials of any kind with joy, because they produce endurance (strength and courage).

Further Saint Peter reveals his understanding of healthy living in Second Peter 1:3,5–7: A late Indian spiritual teacher Meher Baba stated that worry is caused by desires and can be overcome through detachment: The worry system is activated from exposure to a potential triggering event, traumatic experience or vulnerability, this brings worrisome thoughts and feelings which bring about physical stress reactions and response to avoid worrisome behavior, to ensure allostasis.

But under the crisis this activity feeds back into the first worrisome thoughts and feelings which generates and strengthens the vicious worry cycle.
