    What about rage quitting your job, binge drinking and a total loss of interest in all activity?

      Congrats you’re major depressive!

      On more serious note please get in with a therapist and psychologist to get treatment. It’s not like a viral cold, it’s like a bacterial infection that won’t get better on its own without treatment.

      Medication and therapy were life changers for me. You may not find the right med or the right therapist on your first (second, third, etc) attempts, but I’m glad I kept pursuing both. Medication doesn’t have to be permanent, but if you’re like me and your baseline is incredibly anxious and has been since you were small then you might just need it.

      If you’re LGBTQ+, definitely consider therapy with someone through an LGBT health center if you can. If there isn’t one near you, teletherapy has made it way easier to find competent LGBTQ+ positive therapists.

        I was more interested in how to accompany people going through anxiety, but your answer was very interesting nonetheless

          my 2 cents is to help distract them, especially with exercises, anxiety is build up energy/stress, you need to eliminate that energy

    Haha this infographic is dumb. Everyone feels like this 100 % of the time.

    …right…?

    /S just so no one thinks I’m actually serious. Don’t want to offend anyone.

    Everyone here be like “But this could also be a sign of XY”. Of course that’s right, but that’s not the point. The point is realizing when the people you are with, friends, family, whatever, are in discomfort. It’s about developing a sensitivity about it. You may not believe it, but many people who have not experienced these issues themselves, it’s really hard to tell.

    Most of these are signs of being restless or bored… This isn’t necessarily anxiety.

      Interesting, seems to make more sense to me too. Largely because i have anxiety issues, and it feels more fight or flight (mostly flight) as opposed to the above.

      Came to say ADHD. Maybe the neurotypicals just misread anything “different” and lump it together?

    outside of needing more reassurance and not making future plans this is me every day.
