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.

You know when you have an unexpected bad experience (possibly a crime), and it's so shocking your mind blocks it out?
This is exactly what my mind has done. A few months ago sort of a trauma surfaced in my mind, and it was when I was 12 having private tuition. My teacher was teaching in another teacher's house and the place was cluttered with stuff out ready to be used. I was struggling to write to the end of the pages in my exercise book (had a habit of writing to the middle and then beginning a new line), so she threatened to cut my book in half. Then, she went to the window and picked up a saw and with a smile on her face, held it about 8 inches away from my right hand. I began feeling terrified and just froze while she ignored how I was reacting/appearing.
Now that this awful memory has hit me, I'm thinking to make a police report. It won't leave my head.
How many kids whether 5 yrs old or 13 yrs old, would find it funny having a huge saw shoved near to one of their hands? Surely not many

Hello- I am new to the group

I’m in agreeance, if a therapist makes fun of you in a negative way, I would start looking for a new one.
