Is anxiety common? Am I alone in this?

I used to think it was very uncommon, because I don't know of anyone else at my school who suffered from it. But since joining this website, I have discovered that many people have it, and understand how I feel.

Anxiety, unfortunately, is so common! I myself have struggled with severe anxiety for over a decade, and I know numerous people who have struggled like myself. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!

Incredibly so, society in general is only just catching up with this fact. Most people you interact with on a daily basis have suffered with anxiety at least once in their lives. It's very likely that some of those will have had to battle it on more than one occasion. Anxiety can strike anyone at any time, regardless of your social standing, wealth or health. Therapy can be a very useful tool in helping you overcome this stifling condition.

You definitely aren't alone. Anxiety is really quite common, whether it's for a brief time or long term, and most people experience it at some point in their life

Anxiety seems to be quite a common psychological disorder for some reason, probably has something to do with how society has developed itself. So, you aren't alone and if you feel the need to talk about with someone about it, that's what 7cups is for :)

Dear friend who asked this .... You are certainly not alone! It seems to me that anxiety is very common - I guess it depends on the degree of it, like how much does feeling anxious affect your life? Does it prevent you from doing things, even things that you would really like to do? Does anxiety interrupt your daily life? There are a lot of 'levels' of anxiety, but let me assure you - You are NOT alone in feeling anxious.

Anxiety is extremely common. Most people have anxiety, but I think most people are really good at hiding it, so we never know who is anxious and thus feel more alienated by our own anxiety.

You are not alone. No one is completely alone in any ailment especially anxiety. There are many people with anxiety. I am currently struggling with it. Sometimes you just need to look in the right places to find the people who are struggling in the same way as you.

Anxiety is a common disorder,you are not alone in this . You'll find a lot of people here managing with anxiety in case you feel better after you get people that can relate to you.

Anxiety is very common so you are definitely not alone. Having said that you might want to search for professional help to help you manage it.
