Out of your top ten factors, I think I have about 5 of those traits. Is that bad?
Having 5 out of ten does indicate that you have an issue with anxiety but I would not think of it as bad.
Although excessive anxiety is not good viewing it only in negative terms is.
Have you ever been diagnosed with anxiety?
i have all d indicators, u tink im going crazy? lol
No way Jane. You’re not crazy, maybe anxious, not crazy.
i have 7 out of those 10, and i am pretty sure i have social anxiety disorder, but i’m afraid to tell my parents, and i don’t want to go to a doctor and get prescriptions…
what can i do?
Hey Georgia, Why would you be afraid to tell your parents? Of all people on earth I’m sure they’re the most likely to help you.
It can be somewhat embarrassing to talk about your anxiety, believe me I know, but try not to let that stop you from getting better. Trust your parents, I’m sure they will be there to help more than you know.
