Anxiety Support Group
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...
So I asked my therapist for more CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) at our last session and she gave me a book on it. I've been reading it the past few nights and came to a chapter on panic disorder. It's like I'm reading about myself. How come no one has ever diagnosed me with it? Do any of you suffer from this specifically?

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.

I have anxiety. But you know I don't really get panic attacks that much. I think I feel more of the physical symptoms that the anxiety brings on. I get dizzy, shaky, and it's hard for me to concentrate. I start to feel warm too. And my breathing gets kinda of shallow. I really get like this mostly when I drive, since I have a driving phobia. I guess you can call it that. I'm gonna have to learn more about CBT. Maybe it will help me. Take care.
If you have Generalized Anxiety (GAD) they call it Anxiety Disorder.
You can have both. They are just terms.
I wouldn't worry about the labels.
I hope the book is helping you. I have read maybe 2 books that helped me, out of 100 that I bought.
Panic is covered by anxiety. Just a label distinguishing specific ways to provide a possible option for restoring balance.
A lot of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) options have different methods to provide possible connections to find the better balance.
Best wishes!
I have a psychology degree, so i always tell my therapist that it's a bit more terrifying to know what's going on and how to fix it but not be able to.
