I Have Anxiety

Do you think "I have anxiety" is thrown around too much these days?

While I'm not invalidating these people's feelings, severe anxiety is really, really nasty, I've had it for years, medicated on and off. I suppose it's like someone saying "I'm depressed" when in fact they're just having a bad day. It doesn't bother me too much, I just think that sometimes greater care should be taken when defining a feeling or state of mind. 馃し

Yeah, I think some people do throw it around, like they do with various other mental illnesses.

I think they're just jumping to conclusions and haven't actually been diagnosed, nor psychoanalysed themselves.

@JupiterDreams and some people (or so I've heard) think saying they have a mental illness makes them cool or interesting.
