It truly does bug me when people say they have anxiety when you don't actually have anxiety (disorder). Like sure, everybody gets anxious at times, but disorders take over your life so much more. Same thing with depression. You're not depressed if you feel sad sometimes, depression isn't sadness. The same way everybody gets anxiety some times, people become sad at times. Emotions are fluid and tends to go in waves, like if someone hurts you, you may get sad. If you have a job interview, it's very common to become anxious. Etc. When you struggle with anxiety (disorder) or depression, it becomes irrational. Your body senses fear even when you're as safe as can be (with anxiety), and with depression it doesn't matter "how well" your life may seemingly be going. Also, you're not really sad when your depressed, it's more like a feeling of nothing and hopelessness. Don't confuse emotions with disorders.

@leonornoivo487 The thing is that everybody gets anxious in certain warranted situation. Experiencing an emotion does not mean you have anxiety. People usually just say they have anxiety instead of "I struggle with general anxiety disorder" for instance, it's just easier. But the difference is real. People that are actually diagnosed with any of the different anxiety disorders experience IRRATIONAL fear even when not warranted. For example, being scared to go to the grocery store. There's no logical reason for your body to get alarmed, yet it does. That's the thing about anxiety, it's simply not logical. Being anxious/scared/afraid before performing, going to court or whatever situation that can be scary is normal. That doesn't mean you have anxiety, it means your body works.
