So some years ago I went to the doctor and I was told that I had anxiety. It made sense, really. Today though, my mom told me that I officially don't have it. I feel like I've been living a lie. Sincerely, I am a really anxious person. In social situations, doing things in front of lots of people, and I've had several massive panic attacks. I know I should feel happy that I don't have it, but I don't know. And it's not like I want to have it because it'll make you look "cooler" or whatever, but I have kind of accepted anxiety as a part of me. I'm so confused, someone please help.
What should I feel?

The first line of defense against depression and anxiety is B vitamins. Get nutritional yeast powder and/or B-100 pills. Vitamin B2 is a water soluble dye that turns urine bright yellow. When the color fades, it's time for another dose. Read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right.
To answer your question, everyone has anxiety. It's part of the human condition. We all just have varying amounts of anxiety, and different ways of coping. Sometimes it's triggered (like by a situation), and other times you will find you're feeling anxious for no reason. This is okay, you just need to develop ways of coping that work for you through self care. Do some breathing exercises, read a book, remove yourself from a situation, etc. If you're really struggling, you can try suppliments like vitamin B, or consult your doctor about anti-anxiety medication (I don't suggest this, as it doesn't promote developing coping strategies that will work in the long run, but some people don't have another option). Hope this helps! Go easy on yourself, it's totally okay to feel anxious.
