No, anxiety is a normal body response to stressful situations, it triggers adrenaline that help you get through the issue, sometimes appears during the stressfull event or even years after the event.

It most definitely does not. Everyone's brains are wired a little differently, but connecting with people who have similar thoughts to you can help you see that you aren't crazy.

Of course not. Human beings have different traits, different characteristics, personalities, that makes them who they are. Everyone experiences some level of anxiety, some people experience it more. We are all different.

Absolutely not! Anxiety is caused by bottling things up for too long. Stress , grief, being put apon are all causes for anxiety. Talk - talk - talk your feelings out.

Absolutely not! Having anxiety means you are a human. Whether it's situational or chronic anxiety is a human prone condition.

Absolutely not. Everyone has anxiety at some point. When mental illness goes untreated, anxiety can build and get out of control. No one is crazy or mental, they have an illness and need help and treatment like any other illness.

Not at all. Anxiety is actually very common and sadly usually overlooked. Acknowledging your own anxiety is a big step towards getting better. :)

Just because someone has anxiety does not mean they are crazy or mental. Anxiety is a whole other issue.
