@Jamie0906 Great question! In my experience, I have found that people find those of us with anxiety to be weak, which is definitely not true. In fact, we are all the more stronger for dealing with that anxiety throws at us. Another misconception is a lot of people think anxiety isn't a big deal and think we overreact to certain situations. Many times I have undermined my anxiety and it would up leading to depression. A lot of people also think anxiety can easily be cured and that is not the case. I think anxiety can be managable though with the right amount of support and professional help. I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any questions about anything I said, please feel free to ask! Thank you for bringing this up. Take care!
