This causes them to behave in a way that reflects an internal cycle of restlessness, which others can dismiss as simple overreaction or being sensitive.

Let's identify six common statements that people with anxiety say so we can further understand and empathize with their experiences.

"Oh, I'm just being paranoid."

How often have you downplay your anxiety just to avoid bothering others?

Having anxiety can not only cause physical symptoms but social ones as well.

You may feel the need to stay silent about what you're going through because you think that no one will understand.

This can lead to high functioning anxiety.

High functioning anxiety is when a person remains fully functional and usually successful despite struggling with anxious feelings and thoughts.

It's not an anxiety disorder recognized by the DSM-5 but is just a term used to describe the state.

Although high functioning anxiety sounds harmless, it can deteriorate your mental health over time.

"Everyone's looking at me."

Social anxiety is when you have an intense fear of being in social situations to the point where you continuously avoid them.

It is a common type of anxiety disorder and it's not the same as shyness and it certainly cannot be solved by the simple "get out of your shell" advice.

It is prevalent among women and the cases of people having the disorder continue to increase at high rates globally.

"I think I'm gonna have a heart attack."

A quick internet search shows that a lot of people are worried about whether they're having an anxiety attack or a heart attack.

This is because both their symptoms can be quite similar.

Both conditions can be accompanied by shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, sweating, a pounding heartbeat, dizziness and even physical weakness or temporary paralysis.

Due to this, people might rush to the ER out of panic.

If you're uncertain about seeking hospital assistance during an attack, it's more advisable to go for help.

"I think something bad is going to happen."

A lot of people say to trust your instincts, but do you have a hard time doing that because it often leads to unnecessary worry and even paranoia?

Having anxiety can make you prone to and be upset by paranoid thoughts.

This is because you're more on edge and accustomed to negatively interpreting things.

"I'm so overwhelmed."

Work? School? Kids? Chores? Love? Money? Future?

How often have you felt bombarded by your thoughts that you don't even know what to do anymore?

People with unmanaged anxiety are prone to having nervous breakdowns.

The combination of pressure, stress, worries and triggering events can cause a mental breaking point where you're not able to function well.
