It seems like these last couple of years people have been trying to raise more awareness for anxiety disorders and other mental health issues.
It seems like more and more people are struggling with anxiety disorders, people like myself.

Do you think anxiety disorders are more common amongst millennials and generation Z or do you think it only seems that way because these last couple of years people have been trying (and succeeding) to raise more awareness for anxiety disorders?

I know I do and I’m on the dumber side of things. People at work state I’m doing fine but I feel like I am a bit slow/not as competent as the others but haven’t gotten fired yet lol. It’s hard to tell if it’s in my head or if I am really that stupid. It’s my first real job after college.

I have a low self esteem and poor self image. I was previously diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and medication didn’t help me, neither did therapy. I’ve been told in the past that I could be ditzy and I think these people are on to something. Please tell me that I am not alone with my lack of intellect or maybe this is normal to feel. I feel paranoid because it’s a new job but I feel stupid most of the time.

My parents tell doctors often that i have sleep issues/social anxiety/learning disorders.

Reasons they believe some of it are.
-I don't speak often because I had gotten yelled at for wanting a little privacy with my old doctor, ending up with my mom yelling at me accusing me of saying bad things about them, also they changed my doctor after it too.
-I don't have friends, only because when i did have friends they didn't let me go the last few days of school so I couldn't get someone phone number and stuff.
We didn't do it during school because my family is very private, they even took a bag that a friend gave me that was supposed to be like a friendship thing instead of a bracelet it was just similar bags.
-I don't sleep well because I have to do things for my famly sometimes otherwise i sleep very well.
-They believe i am bad at school because a few times when transitioning homeschool or transitioning from public to homeschool then they would put me behind.
