health Do you suffer from anxiety?

[Splashee 28,537]

Never! *Bites the last of all my nails*

[Flying Pencil 3,023]

Only a little bit. Had to add more due to the character limit.

[DubWolf 16,619]

I feel like I'm always anxious  . Even when I know I have ample time to be somewhere, or like I'm more than capable of achieving X (except for music auditions in the past), the future is always uncertain to me or I just don't trust things going right.

[Olly 1,008]

Constantly. Just a steady stream of negative, frightening thoughts. I have something of a drug addiction just to keep the thoughts at bay. Better than being without a limb though. Kind of ironic I study psychology

My mom is convinced she and I both have undiagnosed anxiety but she never got either of us tested.  Knowing what I know about anxiety, I don’t think we fit the criteria exactly, but my mom at least gets anxious enough to where I wouldn’t be surprised if she did have clinical anxiety.

[Vefka 1,499]

Yes, I'm anxious around people and I care about what they think about me too much. And actually I started to see a pattern recently

[AppleButt 8,669]

Yes.  I constantly worry about things.   Losing friends or family, losing my job, the inevitability of my life falling apart years from now, etc etc etc.   The worrying never stops.  

[CowBoyKid 2,068]

Yes I do suffer from Anxiety but I've learned to cope with it. 

[Clawdeen 12,110]

I do but it has gotten better as I’ve aged. It used to be really bad as a kid and a teenager. 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,631]

No, not at all. Sure, I get nervous and worried like everybody else, but it's not something that I "suffer" from.

I suffer from anxiety for sure.

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

I’ve been convinced that I might have it clinically, both by myself and my mom who also has issues with worrying, but neither of us have been diagnosed so we can’t be for sure. I’ve had times though where anxiety has been an issue so at times, I do suffer from it.

[Flying Pencil 3,023]

I"m pretty sure I suffer from anxiety and paranoia. When Covid-19 cases soared in NJ, I would not go outside at all out of fear of getting sick. 

[Ezra 21]

Yes, I have mostly social anxiety. I'm better than I was a few years ago, but I still worry about socializing with anyone who I don't know.

[crookedpinkie 14]

Yes, I've had generalized and social anxiety since I was a kid and now also have health anxiety and OCD.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,517]

Yes, all too often. Just about every day

[baba_booey 4,299]

Unfortunately yes, diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I've gone through so much shit in the past 8 years or so (2013 and 2019 were especially bad for me) and I always feel this sense of paranoia that something bad's going to happen. Feel like it really started to become an issue in 2016 (which is partially why I've been on and off this site since then).

I struggle with social anxiety too. I'm constantly worried about how others feel about me or if I've done something to piss everyone else off or something.

[Trixie Heartstrings 433]

I have social anxiety, which goes as far back as my adolescent years, when I was constantly scared I'd be judged by people for the most minor things. Largely because I used to hang out with people who would do that.

[CandyCorn 427]

Day in and day out. Every single day of my fricken LIFE I deal with anxiety. I'm lucky if I can get a break from intruding thoughts. It's so bad that I'm on three anxiety meds. One is an anti-psychotic, the other is called Zoloft... and the third is Klonopin as needed. Yeah, my anxiety is THAT bad. :|

It is eerie just how much this sounds like what I deal with. I swear we might be lost siblings or something.
