I think my anxiety is worsening in general.
About 10 years ago, my anxiety used to be so mild that I would often forget it was even there. Then a few years ago, it started becoming much more apparent. My anxiety baseline would be mild, but sometimes my anxiety would "flare up". Eventually, I noticed that my anxiety baseline had transitioned from a mild level to a moderate level. (So, my anxiety ranged from mild to moderate, but was usually moderate.) Now I foresee my anxiety transitioning again, this time from moderate to severe.
