People overuse the word anxiety ?

Question

If you can't read the the 2 option 
No every freak out is connected to the disorder

Answer

ALOT of people claim they have "anxiety" because for some reason they think it's "cool". You know what's not cool? Waking up in the middle of the night not being able to breath. Wanting to go out with friends and party but not having the energy to. Having a break down in a grocery store or feeling like you're having a heart attack. Feeling put down because you've given up multiple opportunities in your life that were so awesome but you just couldn't bring yourself to do it. Having your boyfriend consol you while you ball your eyes out over something that happened 6 years ago. Losing connections to friends and family. Not being able to make a phone call sometimes. Not being able to have face to face interactions with strangers without panicking inside because you're so caught up about what they think of you that you don't even realize they probably think you're amazing. Thinking that you look disgusting. Always fighting with yourself internally that you are enough but ending up falling on that you're not.

Idk if most people know this BUT anxiety and depression usually go together. So if you have one you probably have both.
People need to stop glorifying this because for the people that do have this it's so painful.

Answer

I think people confuse stress with anxiety

Katy is stressing over her test and hasn't slept in 2 days

Marie is having anxiety over absolutely nothing and battles daily panic attacks over nothing and has issues socializing and has trouble doing day to day tasks

But Katy's stress shouldn't be invalidated because she doesn't have chronic anxiety Like Marie

Both things suck

Answer

So many claim to have anxiety when they don't.  The people who actually have it wish they didn't. I was diagnosed when I was younger but I don't even tell people because I don't want anyone to think I am just another teenage girl claiming to have anxiety. But it effects so much of my daily life. I have to leave school early all the time from having panic attacks for literally no reason. And all of the attention it brings on makes it worse. I have a horrible sleeping schedule because it is always worse at night. The worst part about it is that I struggle so much in school simply because I freak out every time I am taking a test. But yea, the word is thrown around as if it's something that is cool to have.

Answer

Depression and anxiety are often overused but I can't go into the mind of someone else. I can't tell someone how they're feeling. Everything doesn't have to be a disorder and these things also shouldn't be taken lightly. Kinda in the middle.

Answer

Yes ugh as a future mental health counselor, nothing annoys me more. Especially with the way "anxiety" is thrown around almost like you're not cool if you don't have it. I don't like the way it's on t shirts. 🙄

Answer

Yes the word is overused but I'm a teenage girl with anxiety caused from other medical problems. I wish I wasn't constantly worrying over stuff that I have no control over. I've almost gotten it under control though with self help books and prayer.

Answer

A therapist diagnosed me with generalized anxiety so for that reason and that reason alone do I trust that I'm anxious. I mean I see the sings but I'm not quick to label myself either. Same woth my ADHD. I feel like far too many people run around self-diagnoising themselves and it really does hinder the help that people who genuinely do stuggle with mental illness because... well you see how people act about mental illness. We don't need people who are not even diagnosed or seeking treatment running around and making it any harder. Hope that changes one day.
