“Being anxious isn’t who you are, it’s something you’re feeling.”
In case you weren't aware, J.K. Rowling is probably the loveliest human being on the planet. Just a few days ago, she helped a fan with depression in the most perfect possible way.
So, of course, when another fan turned to her for advice regarding her anxiety, J.K. responded immediately.

"I'm a Gryffindor but my anxiety keeps me from being a true Gryffindor a lot recently," the fan wrote. "Am I still a Gryffindor despite that?"
And J.K.'s response was almost as wise as Dumbledore's would be.
Since she tweeted, other Potter fans have been using the hashtag #GryffindorStrong to share their own stories.
