Anxiety is absolutely common! 1 in 3 people in the US alone struggle with anxiety. And I believe the other 2 out of 3 just haven't experienced it yet! I too struggle with a Generalized Anxiety Disorder. You are not alone in this, ever. There are so many people out there, just like you. Your story is important and there are so many people who want to be kind and lend a listening ear and support you through this journey.

Statistically, anxiety affects approximately 1.5 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year (about 3.3 million adults). You are not alone in this and you are supported by all of us.

Everyone on earth experiences anxiety in some situations, but the anxiety experienced by the 'average' person is different from the type of anxiety that comes with an anxiety disorder. And you would not be alone in feeling either. Anxiety disorders are fairly common types of mental illness and they're very much treatable with the right help and techniques.

No of course you're not alone; a lot of people I know experience anxiety but don't often know it! A lot of the time, people say that they're feeling 'nervous' because of the connotations that come with anxiety. But you are definitely not alone and it is very common for you to feel anxious; there's lots of people to support and listen to you

Anxiety is really common. You are totally not alone. Many people have some sort of anxiety disorder, and even more have felt anxious at one point or another. If you are in a room with 4 other people, I'd say about 80% of you have had some sort of anxiety.

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?
