Things People Donât Understand About Anxiety Sufferers
We canât just turn it off - Trust us, if we could we would
It is not all in our heads
Sometimes when weâre feeling the anxiety, we have no idea why weâre anxious
We canât âjust let it goâ
Change is always difficult, even if we expect it
Keep inviting us to things even though we usually decline - it helps us feel wanted and can help ease some of the anxiety even if we donât accept your invitation
If we seem a little nervous, donât make fun of us, or make us feel guilty. We feel awful enough already
Little things that seem like nothing to you can have a huge effect on us - things like dropping a pencil or spilling some water
It may seem irrational to you, but what Iâm anxious about is very real for me
Weâre not lazy or overreacting
Itâs hard to make plans and just as hard to talk on the phone sometimes
We are constantly overthinking and overanalyzing situations
We interpret the world around us differently to you - Although you may have not meant anything more than you actually said, we look deeper than we should, often misinterpreting the situation
 If we ask you the same question repeatedly, donât get mad. We are only trying to reassure ourselves. We constantly do this because the anxiety lies to us and tries to convince us we are wrong
Anxiety doesnât have a âlook.â We donât have to be trembling or hyperventilating to be anxious
Weâd rather not see the people who witnessed our misstep then risk having to be reminded of it.
ANYTHING can trigger an Anxiety attack.Â
It is a real mental illness
Be careful with your tone - we detect the slightest change in it and it sets of a wave of panic
