This has been bugging me for awhile now.. this was a few months back but has anyone ever told you when your beginning to have an anxiety attack that if these two  people can do this (who also have anxitey)  so can you. I know they weren't trying to be mean or anything I know they probably had good intentions but how I would that make you feel? How would you respond to that?  One of aunts said that to me once when we went to a hockey game and I was in a middle of starting an anxiety attack because of the noise and having her keep moving us to different seats.. I kinda felt taken back when she said that.. I understand completely that those other two have anxiety (they are my cousins who are a lot younger than) but people with anxiety all handle situations differently.. at the same time it didn't feel like she was supporting me, just telling me to push it away. Ive never really been close to her, and it kinda hurt me to have her say that instead of trying to help me in that situation..
