What kinds of things make you anxious? They can be big or small, we’re using the word anxiety to encompass anything and everything that makes you nervous or fearful or uneasy.
Side note: anxiety and associated disorders are not funny. However, we are adults and we poke fun at most everything so let’s not devolve into a serious discussion about how certain posts diminish real anxiety sufferers. We aren’t competing for who suffers the most here, just making conversation.

I get immobilized when my email gets higher than 21 messages. If I see 22 or more I feel a sense of panic like I’m missing something important but I can’t seem to make myself go through it. Same with receiving a long and/or thoughtful message. I struggle to reply not because I don’t want to but because of this same inability to just do it.9

At times I get anxiety on my way to the gym. It's a feeling like I don't belong there. I don't know where it comes from but I have to force myself to work through it.5

I'm not referring to a hook up. More like a conspiring to humiliate and embarrass others.
Oh THAT? That still happens? Hunh. I thought it was a kinder, gentler MFP?0 -

ohh yes I understand now.... I am still allowed to be concerned for your well being however. My mom said I could.
It’s true. I’m her mom and I said she could.1 -
Merge lanes. Holy *kitten*. I hear Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone" every time I have to get on one.
Like, is this *kitten* gonna let me in?

I always dream that I am in high school again and I can't remember my locker combination, or I am at school and I suddenly realize I have a final right now in a class I forgot to go to all year, or the school was remodeled and I can't find a map.

Relate-able.
Just this morning I passed the main IT guy in the parking garage and I could have sworn he looked at me a little too long.2 -
Being late gives me some serious anxiety, also large crowds, I can't do concerts etc, can do sporting events though strangely enough.0
