With five children we have seen different presentations of anxiety. We have had OCD (severe, which thankfully was taken out of the disorder level after some therapy and home therapy. No drugs were used though they were suggested. Mom read five books and Dad was great at getting her to open up. That was at 8 years old. She is now a 22 yr old just one year from becoming a Physician's Assistant. One shows her anxiety with stomach aches. Another daughter has panic attacks and general that makes her miserable. Intrusive thoughts plague some of them. For the most part they are living thriving lives, but they just have to work through these times of their lives harder than someone without it. But as I tell my children, we ALL have something. And when I found myself worrying about what someone else thought about me one night, it suddenly hit me that they weren't lying in bed thinking about ME. That helped put myself into perspective. I taught my more introvertive children to ask questions of people if they didn't know what to say. People love to talk about themselves. Thank you for opening up about anxiety. It's something that sooo many people live with on all kinds of levels.
+Dawn Oldham thanks for opening up about your family. I agree about how anxiety is something everyone faces, some just have it much worse. Talking about these things openly is hopefully helpful.
Kyle Marshall PS I'm sorry that you deal with anxiety at the level YOU do. I'm glad you've found some ways to cope. I can tell you are a very real and a kind person. My motherly thoughts (ha ha) would be the quote, "Those who matter care and those who don't care, don't matter." It's easier on paper though, right? ☺️ Best wishes!
I do have anxiety! We have so much in common. We should be friends! Oh wait, we are already friends. I guess that’s one less thing I have to worry about!
