Wow this is a really great question because it actually does the exact opposite. Being diagnosed with anxiety means you now know what is going on with you and allows you to start dealing with it and learning how to cope with it. Being diagnosed with anxiety means there isn't something wrong with you. Being diagnosed with anxiety means you are not alone, it's okay to need support, others are struggling with you and will help you along the way. Being diagnosed with anxiety will help you take better control of your life.

It doesn't ruin your life, it just affects some routines in your daily life. The best thing to do, is to not think of it negatively, and to find ways to help yourself dealing with this. Think positively, and you will get through it much easier.

Of course not! Once diagnosed, you can begin taking steps to make it better and be able to function more normally, anxiety free.

Being diagnosed does not ruin your life at all! By understanding that you have anxiety, you can work on overcoming it and understand yourself better. Knowing what's wrong can help since you can focus on the aspects that interfere with your life the most and figure out ways to counteract them :)

No. It doesn't ruin your life. It helps you understand what is actually going on with you. Anxiety can only ruin your life if you let it.

Not at all, you can treat it and get it under control and you will have a normal life. It's very common and there are a ton of resources for it. Pease don't worry.

It is what you make of it. A diagnosis can be positive or negative and I think it is your choice of how you take the news. For me, I used it as an opportunity to learn why I feel the way I do and what resources I can do. It's the frame of mind.

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?
