    Fear vs.

    Anxiety

    It is normal for us to fear about something that is imminent. It helps us to better


    plan our next steps and to avoid any potential dangers. But it is different for people with anxiety,as
    for Oxford Dictionary, Anxiety is a mental disorder characterized by excessive fear of real or future
    events that often leads to avoidance and physical symptoms such as palpitations and tensed muscles.
    You see, anxiety is not simple as fearing about something, it’s often associated with other mental
    illnesses such as depression and suicide ideation.

    There are many types of Anxiety, first one is the Generalized Anxiety Disorder,
    wherein a person experiences a persistent and excessive worry about the future. Second type is Panic
    Disorder it is a type of Anxiety that is connected with having panic attacks and fear of continued panic
    attacks. Third one will be Social Anxiety Disorder wherein a person feels extreme fear and worry
    about social situations that might make them feel humiliated or rejected. Next one is Separation
    Anxiety Disorder, people with this type feels extreme fear of being separated to a person whom they
    have deep emotional bond with. Specific Phobias is also included and many other things that is
    associated with excessive fear.

    As someone with anxiety, it is really hard to stay calm and stop worrying about
    something. Avoiding the problem for a while is the easiest escape for me but I know that it doesn’t
    make the problem go away, it just helps me to be calm and to come up with better solutions.
    Sometimes our situation might be misunderstood and will be taken lightly by others, but everyday we
    try to be better as we should.
