About 40 million adults aged 18 and older suffer from anxiety in the US,
美国约有四千万18岁及以上成年人患有焦虑症，
making it the most common mental disorder in the region.
这使得焦虑症称为该地区最常见的精神疾病。
It develops from a complex set of factors that include genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life events.
焦虑症从一系列复杂因素发展而成，其中包括基因、脑化学、性格和生活事件。
It’s more than just feeling nervous to speak at a public event.
焦虑症并不仅仅是在公众面前讲话的紧张。
It’s a mental disorder characterized by excessive worry or fear strong enough to interfere with daily life.
焦虑症是一种精神疾病，其特征是因过度担心或强烈的恐惧而妨碍了日常生活。
With that, many don't realize things a person does because of their anxiety.
许多人都没有注意到那些因焦虑而做出事情。
This is a list of 13 of those things.
以下是其中的13件事。
Number 1: You disappear without notice.
1. 你会悄无声息的走开。
Anxiety can hit you anywhere, whether it's at the grocery store, a party or at work.
焦虑感会在任何地点来袭，不论是在杂货店、聚会还是在办公室。
You just need 15 minutes alone to recollect yourself.
你只是需要15分钟的独处时间来重整自己。
People who don't understand anxiety may see this as rude or weird, but it's something that you really need.
不了解焦虑症的人可能认为这样的突然离开很蛮横或怪异，但是这却是你非常需要的。
Number 2: You freak out over the time and take someone to respond to your text.
2. 你会崩溃并需要别人回复你的信息。
Anxiety blows a lot of things out of proportion whether you send a text to your mom or that special someone
焦虑将所有事都变得不合情理，不论是发短信给你的母亲或那个特别的人
when they take a while to respond you begin to wonder what you said was a little too weird, too rude or if you're annoying them.
如果他们过了很久才回复你，你就会开始想是不是自己说了什么奇怪的话，是不是自己太莽撞了或是自己惹恼了他们。
Why are they taking forever? Was it something I said?
为什么过这么久都不回复？是不是我说了什么？
Number 3: You over check things.
3. 你总反复检查。
Teachers have always told you to double check your homework before turning it in
老师们总告诉我们要在交作业前再次检查自己的作业
but what if you check it too much, too much at the point of never turning it in.
但是如果你检查太多次了怎么办，在临近交作业前，反复检查无数次。
Your anxiety makes you perfectionist.
你的焦虑让你变成了完美主义者。
Whether it's homework or checking to see if the door is locked you check and recheck things multiple times.
不论是作业还是锁门，你都要重复检查无数次。
Sometimes you know something is perfect but your anxiety won't let you relax unless it's checked one more time… or two.
有时你知道有些东西已经很完美了，但你的焦虑仍不放过你，除非你无数次的再次检查。
Number 4: You don't go to parties.
4. 你不去参加聚会。
It's not that you're antisocial, actually do want to go to the party.
这并不是因为你是反社会者，事实上，你也想去聚会。
Whether it's worrying about the big crowd or the loud music all you want to do is have a good time like everyone else
不管是担心这一大群人还是吵闹的音乐，你所想做的只是像他人一样享受时间
but you know your anxiety won't let you because of that you skip the party all together.
但是你知道你的焦虑不会让你如愿，因此，你只能不去参加聚会。
Number 5: You let opportunities pass you by.
5. 你让机会与你擦肩而过。
As a perfectionist you often think you're not good enough for opportunities presented to you.
作为一名完美主义者，你经常觉得你还不够好不值得拥有这些机会。
You become afraid of failing and making a fool of yourself
你变得害怕失败害怕出洋相
because of this you convince yourself to not to take the opportunity at all.

Number 13: When you ask someone to be alone you're not asking them to leave forever.
13. 当你让某人走开独处时，你并不是让他们永远消失。

When you take that break people who don't understand anxiety tend to think you're either upset with them or that you don't like them.
