Feeling anxious sometimes isn’t a disorder. GAD leaves you feeling anxious from the time you wake up until the time you go to sleep. Everything you do can become a battle against your own mind. Something as simple as grocery shopping can leave some people having a panic attack. It’s not something you should be making light of. Maybe you’re someone with an anxiety disorder and you just never realized it’s not the norm, and if so I’m sorry. But if this was supposed to be a joke or a jab at people, then you can fuck off.

I think you have an ignorance disorder, so, add that to the list of things you assume everybody has.

Not like this- nor to the point of constantly being unable to function because you're body is so stressed from constant fight or flight. It literally feels like constantly fearing for your life, but the kicker is there is no logical or physical stressor anywhere. I personally have insomnia- I cannot sleep more than 4-5 hrs most nights without sleep meds, and even then they sometimes still do not work. This is prescription sleep medication, not just Melatonin lol. It's directly caused by my anxiety disorder, and a bit by my ADHD further Ampang the anxious intrusive thoughts. You literally do not have the means to calm it, sometimes even with therapy and medication. I almost committed suicide because I couldn't handle feeling that horror movie killer breathing down my neck feeling 24/7. My baseline anxiety was so high, I was always almost a 10 on the anxiety scales at therapy. It made me unable to function and often made me have to stay home from school because I couldn't focus on the school work when my body was screaming something bad is gonna happen.

Anxiety everyone has. A disorder is marked by not being able chemically to control it to the point that it detracts from your life abilities.
