Anxiety - a disorder marked by excessive worry, uneasiness & apprehension

The most difficult to comprehend, in my opinion...

The irrationality is what causes the most pain, stopping you from speaking up. (1)

Inhibits the most basic daily tasks... public speaking, social events, going into shops, going to school/college, meeting people, making eye contact, asking for help, sleeping, eating, using public transport to name just a few... (2)

Anxiety can manifest itself in different ways dependent on person to person such as overworking, obsessive behaviour, procrastination, irritability, over planning, indecisiveness, lack of organisation and focus etc (3)

Effects and symptoms for many have been exacerbated by current affairs, so it’s now more important than ever to give time patience and a place to talk to those sufferinghttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💗" title="Wachsendes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Wachsendes Herz"> (4)

**Side note - mental illnesses should NOT be used as adjectives**

**speaking through own experience not professionalism** (5/5)
