Anxiety can mean stressing over little things, or really really big things; there's no in between. Even if you know you've done something, you still panic and contemplate if you've done it or not. It's hard for others to understand whether or not you're faking it or if you really are freaking out about something so small, but in reality, it's hard for you to understand it too. You know by now that there's not much you can do about it other than find your ways to cope and move on. Spongebob is a perfect example of someone with anxiety; perfectly portraying the emotions you feel when you forget to feed your pet dog, flip the burger, or close the door.

1. Forgetting To Do Something

Did you lock your car? Did you put your dirty clothes in the hamper? Did you feed your fish? Did you take your medicine? Probably not, so let's freak out about it.

2. Messy Areas

I can't live with myself if my living space gets too cluttered. Clothes on the back of my chair? No. Shoes scattered across the floor? No. Items that I'm not using that are just laying around? No. When I clean, I clean hardcore.

3. Information Overload

Too much information, not enough time. I need to learn this, this, and that, all in a certain amount of time to consider myself productive. I need to memorize this, study for that test, and write this essay.

4. Being Late

I can't be late. There is nothing in this world I hate more than being late. If you're not more than ten minutes early, you're late. Do not make me late.

5. Not Being Good Enough

There are those days where you feel like you can't get anything right and nothing is going your way. The entire world is against you, and you can't figure out why you just can't be good enough.

6. Screwing Something Up

Someone with anxiety's worst fear. You want everything to be perfect. Even if it's something small and fixable, you find yourself blowing it up in your head, making it ten times worse than it actually is.

7. Sitting somewhere for a long period of time.

Please don't make me sit somewhere for longer than an hour-and-a-half. I can barely watch a movie without getting impatient and antsy. I will go crazy.

8. Over-Commitment

The most stressful of them all. You want to help everyone, but you just end up draining yourself until you can't do it anymore.

9. Being Around People For Too Long

Don't get me wrong, I love my friends, but time to myself is extremely important. I start to get easily frustrated and annoyed even when I'm with some of my best friends. I know my limits, and I know when to separate myself.

10. Having An Anxiety Attack

This is the hardest one to deal with, every single time. Whether it be any of the above reasons, or something else, you know whatever is causing it isn't worthy of your stress, but it takes you over anyways. No one ever understands why you're stressing over something so small, but you know all of the secrets to calming yourself down. This is almost always the end product of the above statements, but you've learned how to cope in all circumstances, despite others misunderstanding.
