Anxiety does not make you physically weak. Although it makes you think or feel that you are weak. When you feel panicked, breathe in and out slowly and calm your mind. Think of something that makes you happy and calm yourself down.

No, it does not. Anxiety is common, and everyone faces it at se ppint in their lives. For those of us who have it more often however, we can sometimes feel weak. You arw not weak though. You are strong because you face your anxiety when it happens. It takes a strong person to do that.

Anxiety does not have to make you a weak person at all, in fact, your survival with anxiety through difficult situations demonstrates strength and how brave you are. Anxiety makes one strong, not weak.

Absolutely not! All having anxiety means is that you have an illness that makes your brain and body stress themselves out. Anxiety and all mental illnesses should be treated like real, physical illnesses.

No it does not. It may mean there's issues that need be worked on but just because we have anxiety does not make us week. From time to time everyone experiences anxiety. For some it goes away almost immediately others need some help with it. Once help is received most of us can get rid of it or at least learn how to handle & control it.

Having anxiety does not make you a weak person. Having chronic anxiety is a mental disorder that changes the chemistry of your brain. You cannot help it, and should not be expected to ignore it.

No. No, no, no, no. You're incredibly strong for living with anxiety and still being here to wonder about it. There are lots of ways to deal with your anxiety, and your re never weak. Everyone struggles with different things. Your struggle with anxiety doesn't make you any weaker than someone who is struggling with depression, bullying, stress, breakups, a mental disorder, a physical disorder, or anything else.

No it certainly doesn't. Anxiety is a natural response to stressors and every human being has a fight or flight response; some people are naturally more anxious than others but it does not make you a weak person. I hope that you're okay and always know that you're incredibly strong regardless of experiencing anxiety or not :)
