Anxiety disorders are the most common Mental Health issues in the world. But anxiety is often misunderstood.

While some people with anxiety disorders struggle to leave the house, others can’t stand to be home. And while some chronically underperform, others become overachievers.

Author Morra Aarons-Mele shares her own experience with anxiety and how she’s learned to channel it into something helpful. Some of the things she shares are how to cope with anxiety, strategies for recognizing unhelpful habits that stem from anxiety, and how to use your anxiety to your advantage.
