In plain English, anxiety is "you live in your head way too much." I never thought I had anxiety issues until I took an anxiety test where I answered questions. Based on my answers, the test result showed that I showed some minor anxiety symptoms. Interestingly, I never have had any issues. However, my spouse was under medication for anxiety.

I suffer from anxiety and have done for a long time. It has been very debilitating for me at times and occasionally I can't really function as I'm completely overwhelmed with panic.
I would agree with the definition that it involves living in your head way too much. Thoughts just seem all consuming and so real. Plus I tend to assume the worse a lot of the time.
Hope your spouse is doing okay.
