Be Anxious For Nothing: Coping with Anxiety in Undergraduate Student Culture

This research project began just as I was realizing my own struggle with social anxiety.
Because of this, I was curious about what is being done at Marquette University to make the
college experience more comfortable for students with social anxiety. As my research
progressed, however, I expanded my area of interest to include general anxiety and panic
disorders. Throughout it all, I learned how easily anxiety can disrupt a college students life,
altering both their educational and their social experiences. The seriousness of the issue led me to
wonder what options are available to help these students and whether more resources could be
offered.
From this curiosity came my primary research question: what are the resources available
at Marquette University for students with anxiety and social anxiety?
This paper covers the progression of my research throughout the semester. I begin by
recounting my motivation for research, which was my own experience with anxiety. From there,
I explain the specific methods I used in conducting my research, individually addressing each of
my several data sources. I then proceed to discuss my findings, including the information that
surprised me as well as the information that didnt. Finally, I finish with my proposals for
change, asking what can be done to improve resources for students with anxiety at Marquette
University.

Personal Experience
Sometimes in life, strange things happen. Say you learn a new word. Suddenly, that very
word starts appearing everywhere, and you think Surely this word wasnt so common before I
learned it! I would have noticed it by now if it were! Similarly, there are times when you feel
uneasy about something even while youre not entirely sure what youre uneasy about, and this
unease builds and builds until you feel like youre going to burst. Just when you cant take it
anymore, you find something. Or someone. Or someplace. You find something that tells you
exactly what you need to hear exactly when you need to hear it, and not a moment sooner. It was
an experience like this that led me to realize I have something called social anxiety.
Obviously, I had heard the term social anxiety before. I knew, generally, what it was,
but I never would have dreamed I might have itto me, social anxiety only applied to people
who are so petrified at the thought of interacting with others that they refuse to leave the safety
and seclusion of their homes. I always thought it was for the crazies, the truly extreme cases.
After all, social anxiety is a disorder. Its not for someone with friends and family they talk to
regularly, its not for someone who acted a large role in every play and musical her high school
put on, and its certainly not for someone who aspires to one day be a lawyer. I had always
rationalized that my own reluctance to try new things or attend parties was just laziness paired
with extreme introversion.
Ive always been awkward and introverted, after all. A good friend of mine likes to refer
to me as The Queen of the Introverts. If you know me at all, youll know just how well that
title describes me. I first discovered the term introvert in high school, and I remember
thinking: This is it. This explains why I am so different. The teacher used an analogy to
explain the difference between introverts and extroverts, and I still remember it well. Introverts

Hainsworth 3

feel that their emotional battery is drained when they socialize and that it charges when they
are on their own. With extroverts, however, it is the opposite. This does not mean that introverts
dislike socializing. I was delighted to realize there is nothing wrong with being an introvert over
an extrovert and that I wasnt broken, as I used to worry.
While this introversion discovery explained a lot and saved me from constantly
worrying Is this normal? there were still questions that remained unanswered. Do other
introverts have to be warned at least a day in advance before having social events sprung on
them? Do other introverts panic when plans are sprung on them? Do other introverts worry about
an event for days before it actually happens? In class, do other introverts have to rehearse their
answers several times in their heads before raising their hands? Do they have to be one hundred
percent be sure their answer is correct before they risk answering, for fear of being laughed at?
When visiting a new place, do other introverts have to research everything about it to make sure
they dont end up looking stupid? How many introverts let their shyness get in the way of them
living their life?
All of these fears were what I brought to college with me, and without answers my social
anxiety only worsened.
My low point came at the beginning of sophomore year. A friend was throwing a small
back-to-school get together in her apartment and I was invited. The apartment was further off
campus than I had ever been on my ownbut still close enough to walk and while I knew
roughly where it was and how to get there, I also knew I would have to wing it and see how
things looked when I got close. That in itself was terrifying, and was something I fretted over
ceaselessly in the days leading up to the party. Though I cant remember what it was (I think

Hainsworth 4

perhaps I did everything I could to repress the memory of that night), I had some obligation that
day that led to me having to show up at the party late. Alone.
On shaky legs, I made my way over to this girls apartment. By some miracle, I found it,
but of course, when I tried to buzz in nobody answered. I tried several of the other rooms, but I
got no response. My heart rate doubled. Was this the right building? Was this the right night?
Was this all some really elaborate joke to humiliate me? I checked my phone, looking at the
official Facebook event for the party. Everything seemed right.
Calling all of the friends I knew would be at the party, I desperately hoped that someone
would pick up. No one did. I was stuck outside the building when I knew my friends were just
inside, and all the while strange, slightly terrifying-looking people walked past and saw me just
standing there stupidly, and I was sure they saw through my be cool faade and were secretly
laughing at me.
On top of it all, there was a creepy guy that looked like he was on several types of drugs
standing at the street corner looking my way.
It started getting harder to breathe. I was sweating and my heart was beating out a samba.
For a second, some annoyingly detached part of my mind absently wondered if I was having a
heart attack while studiously avoiding thinking the phrase panic attack.
I made myself sit down, and after a few deep breaths I was already starting to feel better.
I wasnt dying, then. It was probably just a weird fluke, I reasoned, nothing to worry about.
Besides, I had no other explanation at hand for what Id just experienced.
It was by mere chance that I learned the real reason for my panic, and fortunately I
learned the reason before my anxiety got any worse.

Hainsworth 5

Several weeks before my panic attack, I bought a book by a Youtube star Im fond of
watching. It was called Graces Guide: The Art of Pretending to be a Grown-up. I had neither the
time nor motivation to start reading it until the day after the party incident, when I was sitting in
Starbucks and had nothing better to do. The book was just as funny as I predicted, but it really
got interesting when I reached a chapter called Tips to Manage Your Anxiety. As I read on, I
found that everything Grace described about her struggle with Social Anxiety paralleled my
own story.
It threw me. After all, Grace Helbig is a professional comedian. She has two million
Youtube subscribers. One million twitter followers. She has her own book. She has her own
show on E! How can she have social anxiety? As it turns out, social anxiety can affect anyone.
And it doesnt mean someone is bad at socializing, or that theyre some sort of whack-job,
as Id first assumed.
Grace shares in her book that she didnt know what she had was social anxiety until she
was past college age. This, she explained, was because she hadnt been much exposed to the idea
of anxiety, much like myself. When discussing her experience, she said:
I even posted a video in 2010 on YouTube discussing my social anxiety, but in more of
a joking way because I still didnt totally recognize what my feelings were. I thought I
was just prone to nervousness and eventually my totally irrational, paralyzing fears would
melt away (Helbig).
Both Grace and I experienced severe anxiety and social anxiety before we knew what it was, and
I began to realize this may be a more common occurrence than I initially believed, especially
since the term anxiety started showing up everywhere once I knew what it was.

Hainsworth 6

Curious to learn more about anxiety, I consulted the internet. My search resulted in
millions of relevant articles, from well-reputed medical articles to student blogs. One of the most
recognizable links I saw was from Everydayhealth.com. Their article lists anxiety disorders as
the one of the most serious mental health issues facing college students, second only to
depression and suicide risks (Iliades). According to the article, a recent survey of college
students found that 80 percent report feeling stress frequently and 13 percent have been
diagnosed with a mental illness such as depression or an anxiety disorder. The term anxiety
disorder can include social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and others.
There are many different ways an individual can suffer from anxiety, and it affects everyone in
varying degrees even those not officially diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. In the more
severe cases, however, anxiety can be completely debilitating and can really destroy a persons
life.
Just a few months after what I dubbed the party incident, the new semester began and I
was told Id have to choose a research topic for my English 3210 course. Because of what I had
been going through personally, because of what I had read about Graces experience, and
because of what I had seen of a friend suffering from a panic disorder, researching anxiety on
college campuses seemed the obvious choice.
Methods
Research Design
My research project is a mixed-method qualitative study using a variety of different data
sources, explained below. The variance in the data sources I chose serve to provide a number of
different perspectives on the topic of my project. My personal experience and the social media
sources, for example, provide a students perspective while my interview with the Counseling

Hainsworth 7

Center and the scholarly articles provide a more objective, professional view. The social media
posts also gave me an unfiltered response.
Personal Experience
As I explained earlier, my personal experience with social anxiety is what led me to
pursue this subject. I thought telling my own story with my project might make it more relatable,
so I included my firsthand account of my first panic attack. I also included in this category my
discovery of Grace Helbigs book, which I stumbled across by chance. I used Graces testimony
as an example of someone seemingly confident and collected that suffers from anxiety. I pulled
several quotes from her book, even using one on my research poster and including several in this
paper.
Interviews
I conducted two interviews. The first of these was with a friend from high school who I
knew suffers from a panic disorder. The interviewee is a good friend of mine, and I have
witnessed her struggle with anxiety over the yearsit is what led me to realize how serious a
panic disorder can be, even before I was aware of my own struggle. This interview was
conducted over the phone, as the interviewee attends Concordia University. The other interview
was with Dr. Christopher Daood, who is the outreach coordinator at Marquette Universitys
Counseling Center. I interviewed Chris Daood with a colleague, Breanna Klugiewicz. After
completing both interviews, I coded them by topic. These codes are included in the table below,
and the interview scripts can be found in Appendixes A and B.

Social Media and Online Resources

To substitute for field observationsbecause anxiety is a difficult thing to monitor
through observationI looked to the internet. This turned out to be a good idea, as anxiety has a
massive online presence. The first two of my online sources come in the form of social media:
Yik Yak, an anonymous messaging community, and Tumblr, a widely-used blog site. Im an avid
user of both outlets, and while perusing them for my own interest, I noticed a good deal of posts
pertaining to anxiety and social anxiety. I took screenshots of my findings and used them later on
as examples of how commonly anxiety and social anxiety are mentioned online. My next online
source involves screenshots of the Counseling Center webpages for Marquette and other colleges
(UW-Madison and Georgetown University), which I explored because I was curious about how
rival schools compared to Marquette in the online resources they provided for students with
anxiety.

Hainsworth 9

Finally, there were several smaller searches that I conducted. I typed social anxiety into
google, finding millions of relevant results. I perused hashtags on Instagram, Twitter, and
Facebook, also finding an unbelievable amount of results. I used these as more examples of
anxietys online presence, even including some statistics on my poster and in my findings.

Figure 2: The anxiety page on the Marquette Counseling Centers webpage, found at:
http://www.marquette.edu/counseling/anxiety.shtml

Relevant Scholarly Literature

Finally, I gathered scholarly data. First, I visited the Raynor Library archives with a
colleague, looking for possible past mental health awareness campaigns at Marquette or even in
the general Milwaukee area. While I didnt find anything particularly useful in the archives, I did
find several other scholarly articles that fit my topic. In addition to the archives, I utilized the
librarys search engine to find articles pertaining to my topic, and I used these to learn about the
research that has already been conducted about anxiety on college campuses as well as to learn
more about anxiety.

Hainsworth 10

Findings
Through the course of this project, with all of the data Ive collected, Ive made several
interesting discoveriessome of which were expected and others that were wholly unexpected.
Ive divided my findings into four main categories: the effect of anxiety on a college student,
public education and awareness, Marquette Counseling Centers existing resources, and anxiety
online.
The Effect of Anxiety on a College Student
As I suspected, anxiety can completely change a college students life. Without even
conducting any research, I knew this from my own experience. There have been many cases
where my social anxiety has prevented me from doing something I wanted to do, both socially
and academically. Socially, I may have been too afraid to try new things, for example.
Academically, my anxiety to speak up in class has cost me a participation grade on several
occasions.
Reports of students with high in SAD (the Social Avoidance and Distress Scale) showed
that they tended to avoid social interactions, preferred to work alone, reported that they talked
less, and were more worried and less confident about social relationships (Watson) and students
with high FNE levels (Fear of Negative Evaluation) tended to become nervous in evaluative
situations, and worked hard either to avoid disapproval or gain approval (Watson), and those are
just the effects of social anxiety.
There are many physical and emotional effects stemming from chronic general anxiety as
well. According to the American Institute of stress (AIS), some of the top anxiety/stress
symptoms can include headaches, depression, weight loss or gain, constant fatigue, irritability,

Hainsworth 11

and can even cause cardiovascular and neurological complications over time. Obviously, every
one of these symptoms can interfere with a college students lifestyle.
In my student interview, the interviewee discussed her struggle with anxiety. She
explained to me how she sometimes has to manually breathe, for example. By manual
breathing, she explained to me, she meant that she had to consciously think in, out with every
breath she took or she would stop breathing altogether. This is only one of the many ways
anxiety affected her life. She said:
Id go into these moods where Id have to have somebody touching me, somebody
caressing me to calm me down, and then I wouldnt go on long car rides because I was
afraid of being outside. I didnt like open spaces; I felt like there was no air. I would
barely be able to make it through a school day without freaking out.
In high school, she told me, she tried dating with anxiety and regrets how hard it was to get to
know someone when, in the back of her mind, she realized there were things she would never be
able to do with them because of her anxiety. When she started college, her anxiety got so bad she
could barely function. She described it as a literal hell inside of her mind. She couldnt sleep
in her dorm because at night the anxiety would take hold and she wouldnt be able to breathe.
Instead, she had to have her mother drive her to and from the school every day. Then, because
she couldnt stay at school overnight, she missed out on many socializing opportunities during
the first few week of classeswhich any college student knows is when students rush to form
friendships that could potentially last the rest of their college careers.
While hers is an extreme case, anxiety affects everyones life in many different ways. The
worst part about it is the fact that an individual with anxiety is fully aware of how it affects them,
and this, usually, just becomes the cause of more anxiety. Grace Helbig explains this

Hainsworth 12

phenomenon in her book. The most frustrating part about my anxiety was the constant,
obsessive, spiraling thoughts: this didnt used to happen, just go back to being that other person
who didnt overanalyze her anxious thoughts. And I couldnt (Helbig).
Public Education and Awareness
The biggest concern I found while conducting my research was the fact that in many
cases, students endure unnecessary suffering because they dont realize what theyre
experiencing is anything unusual. By this I mean that they internalize their concernsthey tell
themselves the anxiety they feel is just stress. They tell themselves its something everyone
experiences and that nothing can be done to alleviate it. During my student interview, when the
interviewee explained her experience, she echoed this sentiment. I dont think I really knew that
what I had had a name, I just kind of thought that Okay, this is my life now. Im just going to
have to manually breathe, Im not going to be able to go on trips or go outside, she said, I
dont think I really knew what it was.
It wasnt until college, when her anxiety got unbearable, that she sought help. S couldnt
stay overnight at her dorm, she was rapidly losing an unhealthy amount of weight, she had
trouble sleeping at night, and she had frequent panic attacks. But finally, she got medication and
that eased her anxiety. Because she didnt know she could get medication for her anxiety and
because of the stigma associated with taking medication, she wasted time trying to endure it
instead of seeking help.
This is something that happens frequently, especially with the high number of college
students that experience anxiety today. Over the past few decades, anxiety in college students has
increased exponentially. In fact, anxiety that would have put a student in the top 16 percent in
the 1950's made a student merely average in the ratings for anxiety in the 1990's (Twenge).

Hainsworth 13

According to Chris Daood, anxiety is the Counseling Centers number one pressing concern.
That took over as number one about five or six years ago, he said. While the Counseling
Center does see many students about anxiety, there are even more students struggling with
anxiety without realizing they can get help.
Marquette Counseling Centers Existing Resources
The Counseling Centers webpage is a very important resource for students with anxiety,
particularly for those with social anxiety who may not want to visit the Counseling Center in
person. While the Counseling Center does have a page set aside for anxiety (Figure 2), this page
has very few resources concerning social anxiety. There is one link on the page, titled
Overcoming Social Anxiety, and that link leads to the Counseling Centers webpage for The
University of Texas at Dallas, which uses social anxiety and shyness synonymously (See
appendix C). Shyness is something almost everyone experiences at some pointparticularly
when beginning their college career. Social anxiety, on the other hand, is chronic and completely
debilitating and it should be treated with the gravity it deserves.
The webpage does, however, have a lot of valuable information on it. It both explains the
seriousness of anxiety and reassures students that the Counseling Center is equipped to handle
cases of anxiety. The site includes tips for coping with anxiety, links to calming videos, self-help
book references, and a reassurance that:
The Marquette University Counseling Center can help you develop better ways to deal
with the stress in your life, and teach you skills to manage your anxiety more effectively.
In fact, anxiety and stress management are some of the most common reasons that
students come to the Counseling Center (Anxiety).

Hainsworth 14

On that note, I did find that because anxiety is such a pressing concern, the Counseling
Center does offer many different, well-developed, and helpful resources for students with anxiety
and social anxiety. Chris Daood acknowledged the severity of social anxiety, saying that:
Social anxiety is a big deal for a lot of people. Pretty much all of us have some level of
social discomfort, but if its paralyzing, if its interfering with peoples ability to live their
lives the way they want to, thats where somebody needs help for that.
First and foremost, the Counseling Center offers private sessions with a counselor, which may be
appealing to a student just beginning to address their anxiety. In addition to this, Chris promoted
the Counseling Centers group therapy sessions, which are a remarkable experience for students
with both social anxiety and general anxiety. During finals and midterms, the Counseling Center
brought therapy animals to campus in an attempt to both assist students with stress management
and advertise Counseling Center services. In addition to this form of promoting the Centers
services, the Counseling Center also supports Mental Health awareness week, which takes up a
week in March.
Anxiety Online
Mentions of anxiety and social anxiety are all over the internet. It isnt difficult to find
posts pictures, quotes, and other forms of virtual communication about the topic. It seems there is
an element of solidarity online which allows people to speak openly about their struggles without
feeling like theyre being judged. Just casually perusing Yik Yak, a phone app that provides an
anonymous posting community for college students, I found many posts regarding anxiety and
social anxiety, and the responses to these posts are always friendly and supportive (Appendix D).
As of April 28, 2015, the photo app Instagram has 4,170,270 posts with #anxiety and 398,224

Hainsworth 15

posts with #socialanxiety. Both Facebook and Twitter also have millions of posts with
#anxiety. When you type anxiety into Google, 166,000,000 results show up.
Tumblr, a popular blogging site, seems to be the top advocate for anxiety, social anxiety,
and mental illness support. The site contains millions of posts about anxiety, many of these posts
having hundreds of thousands of notes (likes and reblogs) like the post captured in Appendix
E, which had 593,946 notes as of April 20, 2015. Tumblr provides an understanding and
supportive community where anyone can vent about their problems behind a comforting mask of
anonymity, and the Tumblr community definitely utilizes this to its full potential.
Proposals for Change
Based on my findings, I present several proposals to improve the conditions for students
at Marquette with general and social anxiety. The first involves education, the second
advertisement, and the third online accessibility.
Education
The general Marquette Community needs to be educated about anxiety for two reasons.
The first of these reasons is to make individuals with anxiety aware of the fact that something
can be done for them. As long as the nature of anxiety is something that remains a mystery, there
will be students suffering in silence because they believe what they feel is something uncommon.
Before I knew that my shyness was social anxiety, I wouldnt have been comfortable
discussing it. I used to think I was strange because of just how introverted I was. Even reading
about Graces experience with anxiety led to me feeling better about myself.
The second reason for educating the Marquette community about anxiety and social
anxiety is so that everyone without a high degree of anxiety in their lives can be more
understanding and considerate in their dealings with someone who does have high levels of

Hainsworth 16

anxiety. Because of how common anxiety is in todays college culture, it is impossible not to
know someone with anxiety. As my college interviewee said in her interview, I would meet
people around campus who I would later find out might have some anxiety and how they get
through it, and it would just blow my mind that I actually had friends who had anxiety.
Advertisement
An important way to help students on campus with anxiety is to find ways to better advertise the
Counseling Centers resources, such as their group therapy and individual sessions, as many
students arent aware of these resources. I myself hadnt heard about them until Chris mentioned
them in his interview.
While the Counseling Center does find ways to advertise their services to students, more could
be done. The Counseling Center could host more events, for example. Mental Health Awareness
week is a great resource, but it is only one week at the end of the semester. By that point,
students suffering from mental health related issuesincluding anxietyhave already most
likely spent a year managing without the Counseling Centers assistance. One way to fix this
would be to change the date, or to even just sponsor more events spread throughout the course of
the year.
The biggest way to spread knowledge about the Counseling Centers resources, however,
is through its online presence.
Online Accessibility
Right now, there are many improvements that could be made when it comes to the
Counseling Centers online presence. The website, for example, could be made even more useful

Hainsworth 17

to studentsGeorgetown Universitys Counseling Center webpage, for example, goes into an

incredible amount of detail while also being reassuring to students.
As I mentioned in my findings section, social media is filled with talk of anxiety and
social anxiety. While the Counseling Center has an incredible Facebook page filled with friendly
posts and reassuring images, there are only 80 total likes. I wasnt aware a Facebook page even
existed for the Counseling Center until I was nearing the end of this project. The Facebook page
has potential if more students were to use it.
I will end this paper with a final, concrete proposal for change. I have talked about how
the Counseling Center can improve its webpage and I have also discussed how people are more
likely to talk about their problems if they can do so anonymously. For this final proposal, I will
be discussing three online resources. The first of these is Yik Yak, the anonymous posting app for
college students. This app occasionally has students discussing mental health related concerns
(Appendix D). The second resource is a Facebook page called Marquette Confessions.
Through a site called Surveymonkey, students can submit anonymous messages, which are then
published to the Facebook page. Many colleges have similar pages. The third and final resource
is the Raynor Library Ask A Librarian chat box (Figure 3). This chat box is an instant
messaging tool which allows Marquette students to ask a Raynor librarian questions. My
proposal is that the Counseling Center do something similar, a combination of these three
sources. It can be through Facebook or, more likely, the Counseling Centers webpages. This
would provide students who may not be comfortable visiting the Counseling Center in person
with a way to ask a school counselor questions, and it is a way to do so without feeling like
theyre being judged. It would be a way for students to affirm that what they are experiencing is
normal, and that it is something the Counseling Center can help them overcome.
