If you suffer from anxiety, you’re not alone. Anxiety disorders affect 40 million U.S. adults, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.
Doctors typically diagnose patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder if they suffer from symptoms of anxiety (constant worry, insomnia, difficulty concentration and more) for more than six months. But according to Everyday Health, almost all of us have experienced anxiety at some point.
What triggers those feelings of panic and worry that we’re oh-so-familiar with? We reached out to HuffPost Lifestyle’s Facebook community and got some honest, heartfelt answers from our readers. Here are 21 things that trigger anxiety:
1. “Money woes! Trying to save for a wedding, a house and pay down debts seems unattainable after paying monthly bills. And forget starting a family — how do people afford it?!”Facebook user Rebekah L
2. “My child’s struggles in school.” Facebook user Tess E. Williams
3. “I feel heat rising in my neck when too many people speak to me at once.”Facebook user Zandra Rios-Martinez
4. “Being far from home.”Facebook user Jojo Bean
5. “Trying anything new, going anywhere by myself, or going anywhere period. Arguing with the ones I love. Anxiety sucks.”Facebook user Kristi Marshall-Miller

6. “Not being able to predict the future. I hate surprises and I love spoilers.”Facebook user Bailey Annan Sonday
7. “Crowds!”Facebook user Linda Balzano
8. “Being verbally attacked or being around extremely negative or judgmental people.”Facebook user Anna Heiser
9. “My performance at work. Being a leader, but feeling as though I’m ‘faking’ it as I go along. Being found out that I don’t know as much as my peers think I do.”Facebook user Shelly Bornemann
10. “Being alone.”Facebook user Robyn Cox
11. “Death. I’ve lost a lot of people in my life over the past 10 years.”Facebook user Lindsey Solenberger
12. “Heat! I associate it with being claustrophobic.”Facebook user Selina Torres
13. “Thinking about my anxiety triggers my anxiety.”Facebook user Monica Theis
14. “Work. The feeling that even though I’m a really good performer, I could be fired at any moment.”Facebook user Gabby Nelson
15. “Hearing an ambulance.”Facebook user Tina Mike
16. “Losing control and uncertainty. A lack of communication and trying to come to my own conclusions also does.”Facebook user Jill Grodan
17. “Meeting new people.”Facebook user Karen Temple Walker
18. “Not living up to the über high expectations I place upon myself!”Facebook user Gayle Redick Cramer
19. “Driving on the freeway.”Facebook user Camille Wright
20. “Getting older.”Facebook user Jill Zimmerman
21. “Life in general. It’s too busy. Nobody ever takes the time to slow down.”Facebook user Penelope Dryden
If you suffer from anxiety, take a deep breath and just know you’re not alone.

吃斋的猪

猪现在的三餐多是吃蔬菜瓜果类。 偶尔蔬菜碗中加几片薄薄的肉片或鸡蛋增添点滋味。 吃素吃多了脸色也绿黄绿黄的。 本来都正在步入中老年人的步伐,脸色已经非常灰暗了,再加上营养不均匀的三餐。 猪脸越见丑陋,自己都不想看到镜中的自己。 这样的伙食也使猪脚步乏力,整天缺乏动力。 只想躺着不...
