Thanks for sharing a little piece of your soul with us girlfriend. It is appreciated because for us (and I say that because I too suffer from anxiety or more specifically panic disorder), it is very hard to come out and explain what we deal with on a daily basis. I feel like some people just don’t understand. It’s like, “Hey buddy, just because you can’t see what’s going on in my head/body, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”
I am glad you are getting better. Therapy always helps. High 5!

Thank you for sharing your anxiety issues with us. Our daughter suffers from anxiety, OCD and BDD. I wish it could be thrown away and she wouldn’t have to suffer daily. ((HUGS)) to you…..

In reply to missliz. Hugs to your daughter. I've ended up in the ER a few times when I was pregnant because of how bad the panic attacks got. It's pretty terrifying. It's also incredibly draining for the people who love you, they might not have anxiety issues of their own, but they end up taking on some of your issues because they worry and care.

Thank you for writing this. I have a daughter who suffers from anxiety, and her symptoms sometimes take her to the ER. It is real, and really scary. I’m so glad that more people are becoming aware of it so that when we see someone who needs to hear “you are going to be okay”, we will be the comfort that someone needs. Bless you, Mami!
