Anxiety is a relentless adversary that many battle daily. There’s no better space to vent than The Confessional. Here, judgment is non-existent, allowing anxious individuals to express themselves freely. We don’t have to engage in face-to-face conversations or phone calls (which can be downright uncomfortable). You might even connect with confessions from others who share the same nervous, irrational, and socially awkward tendencies. Here are a few anxiety confessions that are all too relatable.

“I deal with anxiety, but I’ve stopped sharing it because it seems like everyone is anxious now. I don’t want to blend in with the crowd.”
Indeed, it feels like anxiety is a universal experience. As anyone who has faced it knows, anxiety doesn’t need a trigger to disrupt your mental well-being. It can strike regardless of whether your past is filled with trauma or fond memories, ready to deliver a blow at any moment.
