Being anxious is something that all of us have felt at some point or another, and it can really take a toll on people. But for some, anxiety is something that they live with on a daily basis and have to spend their whole week battling how they are going to pass that test, make that phone call, or drive a different route than they are used to.

Although for those that don't experience anxiety on a regular basis, it can be difficult to understand what it all really means. These internet users have managed to capture some of the characteristics and feelings of anxiety really well, but with a humorous twist.

Humor is a great way to get these feelings out in the open, but support can be totally rewarding too. If you need someone to help out, don't be afraid to ask.
