Not necessarily but it can affect a lot of aspects of your life, if left untreated, similar to all mental illnesses. I think once you find your coping mechanism, it becomes easier, the hard bit is though, is finding what works for you.

No. Even though dealing anxiety is extremely challenging, learning to manage and to overcome it is very rewarding.

It doesn't. Actually, it let's you know your exact situation and lets you take the right action on time. Anxiety attacks can be successfully controlled by medical treatment.

Not at all. Nothing will ruin your life, unless you give it the power to. You are in control of your life.

no! being diagnosed was actually great for me because I learned how to deal with it and got to realize that I wasn't alone and that this was normal for others. for years I just felt that I was that weird kid but now it has a name and i am not alone. i have doctors to help me now and i know that others go through things that i thought were weird

Yes, suffering from anxiety personally ruined my life for a couple of months. I could not sleep, concentrate at work or school, eat, and I would stay at home. I let anxiety control my life and realized I was missing out on the important things in life. I learned to relive my anxiety by working out, talking to my friends, and getting out of the house and doing acitivities I loved to do.

No, in fact, it does quite the opposite: it provides you with an open door to find the help you need and deserve.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
