So many people say that they have anxiety or they are anxious because of something big that is coming up. The problem with this is that they don't have anxiety and they are just worried about something. There isn't anything else in the world that makes me madder than someone saying that they have anxiety about something when they don't really have anxiety. There are so many people in the world who are really dealing with anxiety, and when you say that it makes us feel like what we are dealing with isn't that big a deal. I mean, if everyone has anxiety, then maybe we don't really know what it is.

There is no real definition that I've come across that will explain how someone really feels when they deal with anxiety. There are so many out there, that if you don't have it, it's easy to think those definitions are what anxiety is like. Some definitions make it seem like just being nervous about something is anxiety, but it's not. It's the sleepless nights, being scared to talk to someone, being scared to enter a room, and worrying about everything. While I can't speak for everyone who has anxiety, that is what it is like for me. I don't think that there will ever be a good way to define anxiety because I think that there are way too many things that people go through when they are dealing with anxiety.

I remember that when we had to give presentations in my health class in college, a group of people decided to do theirs on stress and anxiety. The first thing they did was give a definition of anxiety, and then asked people if they felt anxious or had anxiety about something at the moment. I can't believe some of the answers that some people gave. I feel like there are some people who don't understand the definition of what it is, and I feel like it's almost something that's downplayed because some people have anxiety about "a test." I hate it when someone says that they are anxious just because they want to say it. This isn't something that you should joke about because you don't know if someone there is actually dealing with anxiety.

Anxiety isn't something that is cute, and to pretend that you have it because it's "cool" doesn't make you cool. I think that in the world we live in today it gets romanticized along with other disorders like depression. I'm sorry, but having anxiety is nothing like what you see on Tumblr. It's not cute and it's not something that's fun to deal with. It's something that you have to take one step at a time, and something that you will probably end up dealing with through your whole life. I know that anxiety is different for everyone, so I can't speak for everyone when I talk about mine.

So, never think of anxiety as something to take lightly. It's not something that is cute or something to joke about. Anxiety is a real disorder that many people deal with. While sometimes it does just get swept under the rug as something that's made up, it isn't.
