Does having anxiety mean your crazy/mental?

No anxiety doesn’t mean there’s something different about you. You’re still you, it just a little voice that comes when you need it or not. It can hurt, yet help you. You never what going to help you till you face it. Sometimes you just have to sine light on the darkness. You are not what defines you, be who you want live you’re life the way you want. Not by who want to control you knock you down. You got This. It may seem hard to fight the urges of what people say you are but if they say you’re a something then their actual talking about themselves

Of course not. It means you're human. If anything, it's a signal that something is off, it's your mind communicating to you in the only way it can. Statistics say that almost 1 in 5 people live with an anxiety disorder, so if that means we're crazy, well, we're crazy along with 20% of the world! If you are dealing with anxiety, I hope you find the courage to reach out and ask for help. There is hope & you don't have to live with this forever. Try to listen to what your anxiety is trying to tell you, too.

Having anxiety and feeling anxious is a normal response, especially to stressful situations in our lives. Anxiety is our bodies natural response to stress. Being in a stressful situation, or anticipating a stressful situation triggers feelings of apprehension, or anxiety. Everyone has experienced anxiety at one time or another, especially during stressful periods of time. Even though anxiety is a normal response to stressful situations, sometimes people can feel this way excessively, or in an overwhelming way that makes daily life difficult. In these cases, a professional or a person's doctor can be consulted, and can evaluate if there is an underlying condition that is the cause, and assist with treatments and ways to cope with these feelings.

Not at all! Great question though. Having anxiety is a way of your brain trying to protect you. It’s so worried about protecting you, it makes you anxious, even when there is no reason to be! While it can be a real hinderance, and can take some getting used to, with the right coping mechanisms, grounding mechanisms and practice, it is manageable. Don’t worry, you are not alone. Anxiety is the second most common mood disorder, so you will be able to find plenty of support out there! I hope that this helps! And remember: you are not crazy!

People feel anxious during stressful situations. It is completely normal. If your anxiety is excessive and interfering with your daily functioning, then you should probably consult a professional like therapist or psychiatrist. If you are diagnosed with anxiety disorder by the professional, that simply means that you have a mental health issue which can be treated. Crazy, mental, schizo etc are some derogatory terms we use to describe people who we think might be overreacting to a situation even though they may not be suffering from any mental health issues. What else can I say other than that it's unfortunate. Mental health issue is just like any other physical illness. If you think you have a problem, then you just consult a doctor and get treated.
