Not at all! Anxiety is triggered when you become nervous or something is upsetting or causes you fear. It’s a human response to protect yourself from what is triggering the anxiety.

Having anxiety does not mean you’re crazy/mental. Anxiety is a part of human life. All humans experience anxiety at some stage, and at some level. Some are more likely to develop anxiety disorders more than others, however, anxiety is never anyone's fault and never anyone's choice.

No it does not mean you’re crazy/mental. Having anxiety just means you fear things and can only mean so much

While you may sometimes feel disconnected, having anxiety does NOT make you crazy/mental! Your body is going through fight or flight and actually, it is working! The difficulty with anxiety is our fight or flight response is triggered without danger. Though you may feel alone and distressed about these events, many experience these reactions and there is a lot you can do to get through things!

Of course not, people who have anxiety aren't crazy, a lot of the time they just overthink things or just worry a lot.

No, having anxiety does not mean that you are a crazy or mental. Everyone experiences anxiety at some point in their life, but it becomes a problem when the anxiousness doesn't seem to go away and it interferes with your daily life. Having a mental illness does not mean you are "crazy" but you should certainly seek support and help from someone you trust.
