Today, when I picked up my repeat subscription of anti-anxiety medication, they had changed the packaging to be more 'child safe'. Now it's so hard to get the pills out that I had an anxiety attack trying to take one. FML

I think all negative commenters need to read up on anxiety disorders before they come to a conclusion of 'stop being a pussy'. Trust me, I'd love to not take meds and be normal for once in my life. But, my brain isn't like everyone else's. Gladly I haven't had a panic attack in over a year because of my medication. It's nothing to joke around with. Some people can lose motor functions because of panic attacks. I literally went blind from a panic attack once. If those who make fun of people with a mental illness had to live in their bodies, they would feel like utter shit. Just had to get that off my chest because I've suffered for years trying to find a way to control my disorder.

18 - Anxiety is no laughing matter. I know a few people who have anxiety attacks and/or panic disorder. Something so small can trigger an attack; it doesn't mean they're a pussy.

Oh yeah, totally. I listened to my father try to kill my mother and was verbally abused by him everyday until the day he died. Damn, I had it easy. Anxiety does NOT come from child coddling. Are you a licensed therapist? Did you go to school for nine years to get your PhD in mental health? No? Didn't think so. I see a therapist for my anxiety who DID go to school for 9 years to earn her PhD. Anxiety comes from trauma, not being coddled. I can't go to school because I'm so terrified of it. I was treated like shit by my father and I get treated like shit at school. I do absolutely nothing wrong to them. I keep to myself at treat everybody with respect. But I can't go because I'm reminded of my father. Don't be ignorant. You know nothing about anxiety, so don't try to act like you do.

Usually doctors understand how to write the English language as they need to document patients' symptoms etc and need to successfully get their message across to the patient. It's very unprofessional to, say, use "like", "um" or any other form of slang when speaking to a patient. That said, as a doctor you should know that suggesting weed as an alternative is not a good idea and that there are much better alternatives to "cure" anxiety. I don't work in the medical field and even I know this.
