A member asked:

Would really bad anxiety make you stronger? im just wondering because you know how when you get anxiety it releases a lot of adrenaline?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The brief adrenaline rush with anxiety gives brief increased "nervous energy" but in the longer term this is really exhausting and counterproductive.
