What is anxiety

[dmoquinn]

I was just wondering what ''anxiety'' is.

I was wondering because I've seen it everywhere and don't know what it is.

i.e. In the Banned Topics. Can someone tell me what it is?

You could try looking it up in a dictionary. That will give you a better definition than anyone can post here.

Here is a definition i got from dictionary.com:

distress or uneasiness of mind caused by fear of danger or misfortune:

He felt anxiety about the possible loss of his job.

It means to be worried about everything, and to think that bad things are going to happen all of the time. You could say it is a disease of the mind, and there is medication for it.

It can mean you are worried about an upcoming event, or if you have an anxiety disorder, it can mean you are worried about everything.

I have social anxiety, so I get very anxious in a lot of social situations and don't like to draw attention to myself or talk very much in public, and sometimes have panic attacks in certain situations.

taken from Wikipedia.org

Anxiety is a physiological state characterized by cognitive, somatic, emotional, and behavioral components. These components combine to create the feelings that we typically recognize as fear, apprehension, or worry. Anxiety is often accompanied by physical sensations such as heart palpitations, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, or headache.
