If Mental Illnesses Were Monsters… Here’s What They’d Probably Look Like:

There are three kinds of anxiety so far :

General anxiety disorder – excessive, exaggerated anxiety and worry about everyday life events with no obvious reasons for worry.
Panic attack – a sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear. Your heart pounds and you can’t breathe. You may even feel like you’re dying or going crazy. Left untreated, panic attacks can lead to panic disorder and other problems. They may even cause you to withdraw from normal activities.
Social anxiety – in which a person has an excessive and unreasonable fear of social situations. Intense nervousness and self-consciousness arise from a fear of being closely watched, judged, and criticized by others.

as you can see already that anxiety isnt really just basic worrying and nervousness. it is the worring and anxious feeling people get for every single thing, every single day. anxiety isnt also always about hyperventilating and rocking back and forth over thinking about a zillion things. it could also be in the form of unpredictable bouts of rage, fast-talking, stumbling or stuttering. it could also be where the person doesnt talk at all or they sit rigidly staring into space almost 'zoned out'.

there are times when you want everything to be quiet, and when its not, you just get really agitated, and people's voices just start driving you insane! and then there are times where you are not able to fall asleep because you said something wrong two years ago and you cant stop thinking about it.

but anxiety although its very stressful you cant always look at the bad side of things. when you have anxiety you kinda understand other people on a deeper level. you know what its like being worthless so you try not to treat the others the same way. you have a high level of empathy, you understand other people's pain and joy a lot more than anyone else.

Quote on anxiety: This is one of the most frustrating things about having an anxiety disorder; knowing as you're freaking out that there's no reason to be freaked out. But lacking the ability to shut the emotion down. www.HealthyPlace.com:

having anxiety can be tiring and frustrating because you're constantly worried about things you don't need to be worried about but there is always hope.
