Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I know that sounds crazy...to be grateful for anxiety. But honestly, every person I know that has anxiety is more loving, thoughtful, creative, intelligent and emotional than your average person.
Even though anxiety can ruin some days, ruin some plans, ruin our self-esteem if we let it...
Let us remember that being anxious is us feeling life more deeply than others can. There's a reason behind it. There's something to discover.
Here's a quote from one of my favorite poets, Pablo Neruda:
"If we were not so single-minded
about keeping our lives moving
and for once could do nothing,
perhaps a huge silence
might interrupt this sadness
of never understanding ourselves
and of threatening ourselves with death
Perhaps the world can teach us
as when everything seems dead
but later proves to be alive"

I have been told I am the most sensitive person someone has ever met. I am sweet, loving, sensitive but I do often feel that it's too much. My level of sensitivity isn't serving me or anyone else. If there was an operation, I'd have it dialed down. I want to be sensitive just not overly.
I've read so many accounts of people who say that having the disorder made them a better person. It's hard to see that sometimes, but I think ultimately, that's the case.
