Every one of us has experienced anxiety at some point of our lives. Feeling uneasy or nervous, or worrying about something that may or may not happen in the future, can be a normal response to stress or danger, though if it starts to interfere with daily life, it can become problematic.

People who live with generalized anxiety disorder experience frequent anxiety for long period of time, be it a month or even a year. Anxiety also is the main symptom of panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, phobia-related disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

I wish I wasn't speaking from firsthand experience when I said this is 100% accurate. Also I was irrationally angry all the time and kept snarling at people over nothing.

There are a few things that can help control anxiety, despite the fact that everyone experiences it differently. Therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which teaches people how to control anxious thoughts and behaviors, is one of the most efficient strategies to lessen anxiety. Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, for example, can help manage anxiety symptoms.

Self-care approaches including exercise, mindfulness, and relaxation methods can be beneficial in managing anxiety in addition to treatment and medication. It's critical to give self-care first priority and schedule downtime for rest and renewal. It can also be beneficial to create a strong network of family and friends who can offer sympathy and understanding.

Another helpful approach for overcoming anxiety is humor. Making light of a problem and laughing at it can help ease tension and give a momentary diversion from nervous sensations and thoughts. In fact, comedy has been proven to improve mental health, including easing anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Though it is important to understand that humor shouldn't take the place of qualified treatment for anxiety problems. Even though it can be useful in the moment, comedy is not a long-term fix and doesn't deal with the underlying reasons for anxiety.

Moreover, humor can be employed in a dismissive or inappropriate manner toward people who are anxious. Making fun of someone's nervousness or making jokes about it can be upsetting and leave the recipient feeling invalidated or devalued.

Despite the fact that comedy can be a helpful coping mechanism for anxiety, it's crucial to use it in a courteous and acceptable manner.

And not all of us want or like to hear voices on a phone. Even without hearing issues, I prefer text messages.

But the fact that you're still here at all is good. It means you're stronger and more resilient than you think you are.

If you're going to be pessimistic, at least let yourself have fun with being pessimistic.

I always used to think things like that. I didn’t have a career per se, just mundane jobs, but I worked from age 16 to 66 and now I’m old I am so resentful of a life spent slogging my guts out just to survive.

Ha, in this healthcare climate? You'd be lucky to find a bed in the entire country. "Soz, you're not sick enough, come back when you're dead"
