Not my fault

In the past I think I was so embarassed about my anxiety - like it was a shameful thing. I am learning to see it as a disease - not my fault- not a weakness. Does anyone else feel like this?

I have had anxiety and depression for a long time When it first happened I was so afraid people would c me as weak. In the last year I have had 3 episodes of bad anxiety and many people that r my support. I know I can call any time and they know how much I suffer during that time. This is an illness like any other illness.

Yes I am the same. It's just the same as having a physical illness but only mental. And we don't need to be ashamed of it
