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. 🤷

Some people are on meds for anxiety, and others have yet to be diagnosed. I don't play with anxiety. It's hell.

@uncalled4 yes it is. I've been on and off antidepressants, tried natural remedies, had some therapy. The only thing that takes the edge off isn't legal where I live 🤦‍♀️ but yeah, it's not be played with
