Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
So I'm not sure if I can really say that I have full blown anxiety or if I just have anxious moments! I have friends who have or have had to deal with anxiety MUCH worse than anything I've dealt with and I feel dumb saying that I have anxiety.
Over time, I have realized that I guess I don't really understand anxiety except for within the context of the friends of mine that I know. I can only say that I know for sure that I've had one severe panic attack but a therapist that I saw for a short period of time said that it was "obvious" that I had anxiety. Most of the time I just have no idea where it's manifesting. I can't tell if I'm just under stress, overwhelmed, depressed, or feeling legitimately anxious about something. I can only catch it sometimes.
Any advice

i would say no need to put a label on it if you don't have to. i didn't really think i had anxiety until a few months ago when it became out of control and then i looked back and realized i've dealt with it for years.

I think it all depends on the affects it has on you whether it's full blown anxiety attacks or just anxious moments. Before I went to the dr. a year ago I didn't know what was happeneing to me. I didn't know anything about anxiety disorder. I just thought I was very anxious person who was going crazy. But since my dr. diagnosed me with anxiety disorder I felt relieved that it's something that you can treat and do something about it. Whether it's anxiety disorder or not it's important to seek treatment to feel better. Hugs =)
