A frustrating thing about anxiety
It's when the people around you don't really understand anxiety, especially when one of those people is your spouse. My husband's attitude about my anxiety is that I just need to stop worrying, stop having anxiety.
I've said it on here before, and I'll say it again - don't you think that if we could just immediately stop feeling this way we would??? OF COURSE!!!
Sometimes having anxiety is very lonely.
I can understand how tough it can be when the people we care about don't fully get how anxiety works. It's not that simple to just turn it off whenever we want, right? It's frustrating and can make us feel so alone.
@thoughtfulmomma I know right! They always say things like “Just take deep breaths” or “if you look at life in a more positive way it’ll all be better.”

Yeah, a lot just tell me to breathe deeply. Yeah it will help only a while but the racing thoughts are so hard to control. Even friends I know for a long time think I can just shut the anxiety off if I want to. NO I can't, cause sometimes the anxiety is too strong and I can't stop it.
A lot of people doesn't understand that anxiety is a serious matter sadly. :(
@thoughtfulmommai totally agree and understand. I feel the same
