FINAL THOUGHTS
As is already evident, whenever a person attempts to hide their anxiety, it can really affect the other aspects of their lives in ways that can be damaging and destructive. Anxiety is a highly treatable condition but not a lot of people will actually be honest with themselves to acknowledge that they need to be treated. There are plenty of people out there who will continue to suffer in silence.
If you happen to deal with anxiety yourself, or if you know someone who is dealing with anxiety, then always be open-minded about the idea of seeking professional help. Anxiety is like quicksand. Just because you aren’t doing anything to deliberately worsen your situation doesn’t mean that things aren’t getting worse. You need to grab a lifeline or a rope that you can hold onto.
Self-care is very important in this modern world where everyone is always speeding at a fast pace.
