My understanding was so bad that I didn't even realize I have anxiety to some degree, but now I am learned. Sadly that doesn't mean I have any sort of solution, but if talking about it helps ya then that's something. I made a similar thread for similar reasons. |
I'm glad you can at least understand anxiety! Understanding it and recognizing it are the first steps to getting better. Neglecting it is just furthering the pain.

I most likely have a genetic predisposition for anxiety, since my mother's side of the family has always severely suffered from anxiety and depression. I couldn't tell you when it started, but I think it was during my early school years. I started to consult with a psychologist every week to help with that when I was, like, 7 or 8.
