Anxiety has always been paired with depression. It could be true that they do attract each other. When you have anxiety you tend to avoid doing things. Which can in turn cut you off from activities that might have actually distracted you or made you “happy”. On the other hand when you are depressed you feel sad you feel worthless which then brings on the anxiety… Am I good enough? Have I ever been good enough?

But from my point of view anxiety is much less curable than depression. For depression you could try get away from situations or people that make you feel worthless and you reconstruct yourself. But anxiety.. Anxiety is that feeling in the gut that you just can’t distance yourself from.

I would say its just as crippling as depression but anxiety is much more sudden. Funny (now) how when i was younger my mom would say that its just laziness nothing else. And I would believe her. Its only a couple of years ago that I realised that not everyone feels the same way as I do. Laziness is not the same as this feeling.. this feeling of total desperation. Laziness is carefree. Laziness does NOT feel like that! Anxiety is the opposite of carefree anxiety is caring too much…
