Hi Lulu, if you do another survey sometime I would add a word like "warning' or "informing" because in hindsight, anxiety is our warning system trying to tell us something. It could be wrong or it could be right but it's still trying to tell us something.

Frustrating. I get frustrated with myself and how it can limit me in many areas of life.

Hello mysmugcat :-)

Yes I relate very much to frustrating and when we feel frustrated we can feel we are in a battle with this anxiety !

I hope you are keeping as well as can be :-)

Thank you for your reply :-) x
