Yes, that is true. In today's society, everyone is busy and hardly has time for another person. It is difficult to sympathize with others when sometimes you may be facing with a worse case of anxiety. While it may discourage some, everyone must keep in mind that your mental health must not be taken lightly. As long as the person who writes your stress off is not an experienced person, you should be conscious of your problem.Vivian Paschal wrote: ↑19 Aug 2020, 04:52 I think that people who suffer from anxiety disorders may not seek help partly because humans are prone to competing for the worst problems. If you tell someone you have anxiety or you're overstressed, it's very likely that they will compare your anxiety or its source to theirs or others. Something like: "People are going through worse. Yours is not that much of a big deal." In essence, people look at persons with anxiety as being overdramatic or too much. An expectation that you'll receive this kind of reaction or that you won't be helped could prevent you from seeking help.

Yes, however, the situation is much better than it was, say, a decade ago. The main reason for this is because you need to keep yourself up as you see what is happening around you and keep it safe from those around you. Stigmatization related with mental stress is something you cannot avoid but at the same time you should avoid effecting it you too much as it can effect the stress you are already having.

Yes, when the source cannot be eliminated properly, it affects your life the most and it is difficult to ignore it and move on with your life. The idea of relieving stress is fixated on the source and not removing it, effects your life in the long term.Helene_2008 wrote: ↑19 Aug 2020, 13:43 I think sometimes people feel that the anxiety can't be fixed because the problem is still in their life. The easy solution would be to just eliminate the source, but sometimes that's not possible. Therefore, the person just puts up with it. And yes, they might feel like they won't be taken seriously or stigmatized.

Yes, lack of awareness is an essential contributor to stigmatization. But in today's society, the stress-related stigma is on the decrease as everyone is so busy that most of them are under stress, in some form or another.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑17 Aug 2020, 07:28 mmm17 wrote:

It's vivid that in the search for acceptance and for the sake of fitting in, some individuals will forego seeking help. The biggest contributor to stigmatization is lack of understanding.

Yes true. A stigmatized person will be under a lot of stress even without the anxiety contributing to the stress in the first place. An anxious person is prone to behavior unusual to others. In this time people fail to miss the point and many people stigmatize others to vent their stress in the first place.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑17 Aug 2020, 07:29 Slater678 wrote:

Although it's not externally visible, anxiety impacts a person's behavior. Depending on whether the behavior is good or bad, stigmatization may occur.

In our country, there is also a problem with the accessibility of mental health services, and when you have a mental disorder, they'll think that there's something wrong with you, that you're crazy. It is true though, in a sense. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing, because it can be managed. We have to remember to separate the mental illness from the person. Their personality or who they are does not revolve around their mental disorder.
