Anxiety. It’s the gift that keeps on giving! And by giving, I mean that it’s the most common psychological disorder affecting adults in the United States. Don’t we all feel lucky to receive this special gift?

I know that I often feel anxious in social situations and when I’m faced with a big decision. But it turns out that I’m not alone in my anxiety. All of my friends, family and acquaintances suffer from it too. Sometimes it feels like we’re all part of a big anxiety club – the only difference is that nobody wants to admit to being a member!

But on the bright side, our anxiety means that we can always rely on each other for support. We can talk it out, watch a funny movie to take our collective minds off things and remind ourselves that we are all in this together. We may not always be able to make our anxiety go away (alas, it is a fierce foe indeed!) but at least we can laugh about it and keep going.

So next time you’re feeling anxious, just remind yourself: you’re not alone in this! There are plenty of other people out there who are feeling the same way, and you can get through it - together!
