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.

i know for a fact that in my case my anxiety caused my depression. i mean, few people r happy when theyre so anxious all the time...i am anyway. at my worst is what caused my depression, just as i started college. being surrounded by all these new people just completely freaked me out...so thru that year i just got worse and worse and then lost pretty much all my friends :( which obviously caused my depression...without my anxiety, i could do what i love ie. be with my friends and loved ones, but my anxiety stops me from even doing that. i hate it lol

I'm not sure which comes first but I'm sure it could go either way if not at the same time? I use to have really bad social anxiety and now I just get anxiety from stress. But the thought of entering a mall would make me almost like hyperventilate and I'd have to breath deeply the whole time ... things like that when Iwas in big places with lots of people. Now that I think of it I still do that deep breathing thingg sometimes when I'm out

When my S.A. was at its worst, it was absolutely horrible! Thing is, I don't think it ever stopped or even come down a few steps. In my case, my anxiety caused my depression.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
