Ignorance is bliss....really no-it pisses me off. I am in school studying psychology and group y doesn't believe in "certain" disorders, group z doesn't not believe anxiety to be a true disorder, and than we have that group that thinks homosexuals are still a disorder.
On anxiety disorders...
"Deal with it"
"Anxiety is healthy"
"Just really not a disorder"
I could continue but you get where I am going with this....haters going to hate.
Have you not actually seen some one in a panic attack?
Do you not know some one with agoraphobia? As I know a handful of people ,aside from myself.
This leaves me a bit dumb founded...this is our next group of therapists, social workers, and psychologists headed out into the world.
No wonder why we are such a mess!
Today should we not be more accepting and aware? Should we not be more educated?
Haters going to hate-fools going to be foolish!
"Chronic anxiety is a state more undesirable than any other, and we will try almost any maneuver to eliminate it. Modern man is living in anxious anticipation of destruction. Such anxiety can be easily eliminated by self-destruction. As a German saying puts it: 'Better an end with terror than a terror without end.”
― Robert E. Neale, The Art of Dying
"Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can actually be beneficial in some situations. For some people, however, anxiety can become excessive. While the person suffering may realize their anxiety is too much, they may also have difficulty controlling it and it may negatively affect their day-to-day living. There are a wide variety of anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder to name a few. Collectively, they are among the most common mental disorders experienced by Americans.
The following anxiety disorders are discussed on this website:
- generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
- obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD),
- panic disorder,
- post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and
- social phobia (or social anxiety disorder)." (NIHM,2014)for more info please see http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/anxiety-disorders/index.
For real people! Don't consider yourself to be less, because if anything this has made you MORE. Don't allow people to make you feel small and weak. You are survivors and warriors!
Love and Light!
“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.” -Jim Morrison
I love you Doc!
