You are not alone and it's common. In a way, virtually no one is safe from anxiety. I think feeling anxiety sometimes is different from having an anxiety disorder. The same way sadness is different from clinical depression. Is that right?

Stress and anxiety go hand-in-hand, therefore anxiety is very common. Living with it on a daily basis makes it feel like you're alone, but you're not.

No one is ever alone. With any life experience you have there's always at least one other person experiencing it too. If not more. And anxiety has affected so many people that I know that; if anything, it's more common than to not have it. One of the worst feelings with anxiety is to feel like you are alone and that no one else can understand but there are so many people who can, rest assured you are never alone in this and we are all fighting it together.

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?
