Ashamed of having anxiety

I dont know if its normal to feel but is there anyone here feels the same, im so ashamed to let me colleagues & friends im suffering my anxiety because for me its a sign of being weak and its only in my mind.

I wish i can tell but im too scared to be judged by them.

I feel the same way. I’m worried that they will tell me that I just need to calm down and it’s not a serious issue. I’m also scared they will think I’m crazy or weak. It seems like it would be easier to have asthma or something physical, something everybody can understand. Most people without anxiety don’t understand it. They don’t know that it is a disorder and it is just as bad as any physical problem. I’ve been trying to hide my anxiety for my whole life but 9 months ago it got extremely intense. Missing school, doctor appointments every week, it’s getting really hard to hide. I told my friends I had low blood sugar when I had to leave class because of a panic attack. I’m also worried about what they will think of me. I think that because they are our friends they would be accepting but it is still scary.

Don’t be ashamed in some ways it’s a gift

You are a sensitive person and stuff upsets us easier sometimes I wish I didn’t care ...... but then it wouldn’t be me ... keep your head up if there wasn’t people like us the world would be a nasty place 👍🏼
