I keep getting lightheaded and dizzy. My mind is a dark cloud and I keep sitting in it. I'm sooo tired of trying to keep face when I know I feel like crap or going through it. Ppl just don't know it take so much to put on a happy face.

" I wonder sometimes how happy people really are. How many are putting on that happy face for real? I believe there are people that are geniunely happy that just have bad days. Everybody has bad days but a bad day with anxiety is quite a challenge.

My sister in law works for a doctor. She said most of the patients they see are coming in for anxiety related problems. There are alot of us out there.

I guess it is getting to the point of being able to have the 'feeling like crap" not last as long. To be able to control the anxiety instead of the anxiety controling you.

Sorry you are having a bad day. :( Hope tomorrow is better! Giant big hug from me!!! "

" I can put on a really good happy face too. There are people that would never believe what I have gone thru and what therapy is forcing me to face. We become really good at pretending....don't we. "
