for those of us diagnosed with anxiety, i'm just wondering what anxiety is to you or what it feels like to you? my T thinks i suffered from anxiety before the depression set in. Prior to seeing T i never even considered that i was a candidate for anxiety. but through our discussions, and with increased awareness of my moods and states, i agree whole-heartedly that i suffer from anxiety. it took a long time to realize exactly what my day-to-day, consistent affective state was, and longer still to give it the label "anxiety", but it's happened and i was just wondering what others thought about this condition. also, for the longest time i considered that the label of being "anxious" was perhaps trivial in that everybody suffers from anxiety. right??? but, i think i've finally realized the what the anxiety "state" is, and the fact that it really isn't as trivial as I believed. i'll share what it is to me (and i'm sure it says a lot about me for not just putting it out there now), but i just wanted to see how it manifests itself to others and how it affects their lives. i don't want my opinions to hamper what others' experience with anxiety is. and, i suppose, it's different for everybody. anyway, muchas gracias for your thoughts/experiences/opinions on this.
