Give me the shaking knees and sweaty palms. I want the sad and angry.  I love the stress. I get drunk on disappointment. I like the suffocating feeling. I know I have to talk myself into doing anything involving human interaction but I like that. I want my anxiety. I want my feelings of dizziness and overwhelming fear of impending death. I'm fine with my inability to stay calm. And even if I didn't want all these things what do you offer? Hour long sessions of breathing techniques?  No.  I'll keep my muscle tension. I want my insomnia. I like my anxiety. It is a part of me. I like me.  I want me.
