Everyone finds themselves feeling anxious from time to time, and it’s a completely normal human emotion in many life situations. However, for those who suffer from mental disorders, anxiety attacks and distress occur with a debilitating frequency that can seriously hamper a person’s quality of life.
Types of anxiety disorders range from social phobia and extreme self-consciousness to panic attacks, OCD, and more specific phobias of things like heights and bugs. Episodes come and often go at random; one day you could feel on top of the world while the next you are unable to leave the house or answer a phone call. Writing and deleting messages over and again to make sure you get just the right tone and select the appropriate emoji.

Oh, the feeling of being left out. What if something terrible happened, and you're here suspecting they're lying, while really someone got seriously hurt? Oh, thw guilt again... What it..... *enda in fade out*
Or when you meet someone from a country who does the cheek kiss. Oh God, is it one kiss or two?? Do I actually kiss their cheek or just make a kiss noise beside their cheek?? What if our heads go in the same direction?? Oh God!
