I have suffered from anxiety for most of my life and I am 54, yup it has been a dream.

Do you ever wonder if you are going to make it?

Will I ever live with out it?

I think anxiety will always be apart of my life. I'm 31, and I go through periods of happiness and depression. I'm learning to except that is life.

I've always had anxiety in my life--in some form or another-and until this past year I was able to get around it and push through it---had a complete breakdown and now am learning new ways to cope and think--so I am hopeful that I will turn it around at least somewhat and get back to what is "normal" at least for me----the dream would be able to stay calm in the most stressful situations....without medication--but I don't know if that is possible for me-most of my family has anxiety issues-so I think there is a genetic component to it.....

Hyperpgal i agree i think there is a genetic componant to anxiety my mom and a few of my sisters have it as well as myself. I have mostly been able to deal with my anxiety until march when my anxiety has been the worst it has ever been. I only had 2 good weeks since march otherwise i wake up everymorning and i throw up and i'm shaky. I hate living like this because i love to be out and about espesially now that it is summer but when you feel like this you don't feel like doing much of anything.

As soon as I can identify my feelings as "anxiety", I KNOW I am going to make it!

With each incident, I just have to get to that point where I quickly distinguish "anxiety" from any of the more serious conditions it mimics.

Anxiety is a necessary emotion and I need to express it in proper proportion to the situation...so I expect it to always be there, less often over time; identifiable and controllable...with practice, support, and/or meds.
