Not at all. Anxiety is a defensive response to our experiences of hurt. There is no shame in recovering from hurt.

No it means your unhappy and in need to get support. I mean its pretty much a human emotion so it's natural to feel a certain way!

Anxiety is a part of our life. A core part of our functionality. We are anxious all the time. It's the feeling that if only the problem at hand is solved we will live the rest of our life with fulfillment and serenity. But the problem is more complex and broad. It doesn't mean you are mental. Not having anxiety would be considered crazy.

Having anxiety does not mean your crazy or mental at all. So many people deal with it daily. Getting properly treated for it and talking about it will calm you from it.

No, not necessarily. It is considered a disorder or illness, but it is nothing like a personality disorder or something. Having anxiety means you are worried more than an average human would be. Like people with social anxiety will worry how many people are around, and will be scared of judgement most likely. But it doesn't mean you are mental.

Definitely NO. Having anxiety is common in our world today and does not mean you are crazy/mental. However, if anxiety is left unchecked it might spiral into more serious emotional/mental problems.

No! Have anxiety means you feel things differently, but many people experience anxiety so you shouldn’t feel alone!

No. It means you are neurotic. Far from being 'crazy'. Anxiety disorders don't involve things that are perceived as 'crazy', which are disorganized thinking, delusions and hallucinations.
