Why is anxiety a growing struggle?

1 Reply

It’s not hard to see why—our world measures, grades, and judges everything young people do. Every social media post is “liked” or not, cyber-bullying is on the rise, and kids feel pressure to achieve like never before.

Seeing the anxiety of those we love can increase our own levels of worry. Dealing with the normal stress of home, work, and life is already a challenge, but at some point we’ll face other pressures too: money worries, job stress, family conflict, traumatic events, addiction, caring for a loved one. Layered over these immediate concerns is the general sense that our world, our country, and our communities are increasingly unsafe, plagued by international conflict, political discord, rising anger and incivility, violence, and even climate uncertainty.

Sorry your going through this, it can be unfortunately some that can last Forever 😖. I've been suffering off and on for about 36 years. It's s tough thing to ho though. Family and Friends don't understand only if their going through it. You mentioned young people, it's not All young people are, some young people ruin it for All young people. Don't let it make you feel any different. Get therapy to help you get though this. Keep writing
