And I got there for the three day move in and I got way to much anxiety and didn't even act like myself. After two days my roommate told me I was weird and akward and she didn't wanna be my roommate anymore. All I could do was cry and my anxiety took over and I shut down. My grandma had to come get my the next day and I had to drop out because I couldn't handle college and I didn't even get to start. It was the worst and I still ain't doing any better. Its been sense september. :\daynadayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045912970068372664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070167261357747024.post-75323523698173055622008-07-03T15:46:00.000-04:002008-07-03T15:46:00.000-04:00Thanks for your comments.

There's so much power and freedom in that. Imagine the impact for someone in the audience who gets educated about anxiety because of you or the person who feels more normal because you disclosed.

I have many friends that have anxiety and we talk frequently about our concerns and wishes for an anxiety free life.<BR/><BR/>I have been asked to speak in front of large groups over the past 6 years and the first thing that I tell them is that I suffer from a panic disorder and I might faint, throw up, pass out and possibly use the bathroom in my pants, but I will still come back and speak. This usually frees me from my secret sickness that people seem not to be able to understand. They say how can you be afraid of going to the grocery store and what possible answer can I give that would make them understand.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for writing about this, I totally understand and I appreciate you taking the time to tell your story.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918256750095455275noreply@blogger.com
