If you're struggling with intense anxiety symptoms, panic attacks, scary intrusive thoughts, depersonalization, and derealization, you probably ask yourself, "Why do I feel like my mind is working against me?" or "Why can't I just enjoy life like everyone else?"

But you must have heard that very smart people often struggle with anxiety – it's a common topic on social media. So maybe it's time to ask yourself, "Is this happening because I'm too smart?"

Just kidding, of course.
