This week's prompt: What stigma related to anxiety did you experience?
There are a lot of stigmas around anxiety and this week's prompt focused to discuss them. We need to reduce these stigmas and for that, the first step starts with talking about them. Let's get started and share your thoughts with us.
Also, you can join the Anxiety Group Support Chat every Monday and Tuesday.
@ASilentObserver I think I faced internalized stigma from myself when I started medication because I felt like I shouldn't have to function with medication. I almost felt like there was something wrong with me and I wasn't normal because I needed medicine to feel "normal." I have since gotten better with it, but it still pops up sometimes!
