To say, "I get stressed," is to imply that one is the victim of some kind of stress virus that entered the body. Rather, one chooses to look at life in a way that leaves her feeling stressed. For example, if a person walks into an office and finds the bathroom light and AC on and makes a big deal about it, even though it's a rare occurrence, that's a decision to take something that's not serious and make it seem serious. Lights will be left on. Food will be left out. It happens. To get upset each time is to fail to allow people to be human. And that causes more stress than most anything. Furthermore, to press others about the incident, to accuse and say, "You were the last one in here," brings stress into a relationship and infects the other person with a problematic perspective.
People like this take pills, go to psychologists, eat special herbs in the hope that all of those external entities will provide a remedy for the "anxiety disorder."
The anxiety is not a disorder. It's a symptom of an outlook on life that needs work.
