Hey

This is my first post. I joined because I don't have anyone who understands what it feels to have anxiety. My family thinks I'm overreacting and just pretending. I know to them it's nothing but it's not. Some days I can't sleep because I'm worried about the smallest things. I get mad at my self for always being worried. I just wish they would understand.

I know it is hard when people around you dont understand. All I can tell you is that you are not alone and hope sharing helps.

I UNDERSTAND...Anxiety? My version anyways...I am 52 and my anxiety is through the roof..So nervous my hands shake,chest tightens,ugh. My head never shuts i am lucky if I get 3 solid hours in a night. When I was younger it was called being Hyper now they call it anxiety .

But you are right very hard for people to understand who don't have it even harder to try to explain it right... try to keep busy don't have too much time to think...l have found the sound machines that people used to sleep with at night...i listens to the ocean very calming. I am here I hear you., don't let your mind go to the " mental masturbation" place.
