I'm tired of hearing people say shit like this. 99.999% chance you've never had an anxiety disorder and actually do not truly "know [how or how much] it's hard" or have any real basis from which to judge who has a "real" problem or is using their diagnosis as a tool, vs who is using it as an excuse. Nor do you know how toxic this attitude is to so many people who are genuinely struggling, or how often we have to hear it directed at us (including from our own loved ones), or how aggravating and isolating it is when people who clearly have no idea what the fuck they are talking about say things like "yeah I feel anxious too sometimes" or "I've been through some hard things and I just did x, y, and z to try to fix it - why don't you do what I did?"
Get a life and stop judging how others live theirs. You do not know from the outside what people have been through or how hard they may be working just to be standing in front of you appearing "lazy."
Surprise, I was diagnosed with PTSD and GAD 6 years ago. Used to be medicated for it. But I didn’t let those things act as a prison sentence for me. They were challenges to overcome, and though I don’t struggle like I used to, I have improved immensely and I don’t plan to stop.

Great. You are still not the judge of what others can and can’t, or should and shouldn’t do, and your attitude is harmful.
