26525 Hey guys Thanks for writting back guys. So if the disorder just consists of our thoughts and people who dont have the disorder would react the same way if they had the same thoughts. Than you cant call it a disorder. Because for it to be a disorder, only certain people would be able to get it and we would have to react differently from everyone else when thinking those negative thoughts. I agree that people who have suffered intense anxiety for a extended period of time have their fight or flight response triggered much faster then people without anxiety attacks. But I dont believe that people without anxiety issues can think the same things we do without having anxiety or go into a bit of fight or flight. Thanks for reading guys. The only reason I right this is because Im confused about this and probably partly because I dont really wanna be labeled as a person with a disorder. I know I shouldn't feel ashamed or bad about it but its hard when you here and see how people without anxiety problems think about people that do. Take care guys
