I understand that War Veterans go through a much accelerated degree of Anxiety, Combat Fatigue, War Neurosis, Shell shock and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. (I think these are all proper terms) But many people have anxiety no matter what age they are for different reasons at different degrees.
Some people cope better with Anxiety than others. I have a very high threshold for pain, so going to the Doctor does not frighten me. Yet Gretchen is scared to death to visit the Doctor and has a panic attack and starts hyperventilating over a vile of blood being taken. Two different persons with two different reactions.
"Where is this society going?" I ask myself: "Why are those not strong willed as their parents are and their parents? What has changed?" I really wish I had an answer for this! Sometimes I think that our parents and grandparent suffered from Anxiety just like their children but just never spoke of it. "These symptoms will pass, embrace it and stay strong." I feel many today don't speak of their flaws in fear of being labeled weak and not strong willed. Now to play the Devil's Advocate, I think many do speak of it to use as a crutch or an excuse to avoid situations.
This is an interesting topic!
