Who when we were living apart in different states I would talk to him on the phone for hours screaming into the phone with my anxiety that I was in hell & that I was terrified to leave the apt that was my prison to walk to the mailbox.
who was driving me to the airport while in the grips of a full on anxiety attack that made me irrational( my daughter said to him..G-d dad.cant you see she’s terrified?)
How I moved to a new state all by myself to live “near” my brother & my mother(& away from my husband & children)& that I fell apart being all alone in a state where you HAVE to drive & ive been too terrified to drive in the past 10 years?And how my brother hardly speaks to me anymore bc I moved back home after all he did for me.

My 82 year old mothers anger at having to come get me to take me to group therapy & my pdoc who were both 3 miles down the road from where I lived?How I called her every morning in a panic bc I couldn’t figure out how to dress myself & feel normal?When I finally agreed to Uber there & she’d pick me up my thumbs shaking so violently it would take me 20 minutes to call an Uber & even then I was convinced I’d put in the wrong address..oh I could go on.My point is they ALL WITNESSED IT.THEY WALKED ME THRU IT but they just didn’t get it Apparenly I’m “ difficult” “ ungrateful” etc etc
Medication has effectively reduced my surface anxiety so that some days I think I may longer have any “ abnormal” anxiety..that I’m just depressed But I know my anxiety still exists Ive done 1or2 little things lately I consider a step in the right direction but for the most part I’ve surrendered

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much!
