10 Things I Hate About Anxiety

A story that explores life with anxiety and how other people's misconceptions lead to faltered advances in coping with this mental illness that affects 18.1% of adults in the US (or roughly 40 million people.) This book discusses common threads of thought that trail behind anxiety and the overwhelmingly negative views it presents to those who can't understand or simply choose not to. Anxiety is damaging and persistent thoughts or feelings of failure, excessive apprehension, introversion, wariness, and uncertainty that accumulates overtime until it becomes so crippling that it is deemed irrepressible. It affects functionality, emotions, and behavior. Typically it can get better or worse over time depending on therapeutic techniques being used. It's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of being strong for too long.
