No, it definitely doesn't. Everyone experiences anxiety as a general survival instinct. Your brain may simply be a little bit more sensitive to going into "survial mode".

Having anxiety certainly does not mean that you're crazy! It simply means that your mind loves to think about things that will likely not happen, and jump to conclusions.

Not at all. We are all human. We find something new to be anxious/worried about. It's not always about the situation itself. It's about how you handle it.

No it doesn't. Anxiety can make us feel like we are going crazy or losing our minds but it's not the case.

No anxiety is caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain, talk to your doctor/therapist about medication for this imbalance

Not at all!. Think of anxiety as one of the many workers present in the human body, both physically and mentally who's job is to keep everything balanced. Whenever this worker becomes overactive or being overworked the balance will be disrupted which will cause some negative effects on the physical and mental aspects of your body. This does not mean that this balance can not be restored

No, anxiety is a normal occurrence. It may seem like you’re going crazy, but you aren’t. You just need some help getting through it.

Having anxiety definitely does not mean you're crazy. It just means you get a lot more anxious than other people, and that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you.
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?
