I've learned that anxiety disorder is not just a one and done illness. You don't just pop a pill and it's better. Anxiety disorder is crippling. It gives off the feelings of having a heart attack. its sitting outside of a restaurant trying to catch your breath and keeping yourself from throwing up the meal (or lack thereof) you just ate.
Anxiety disorder is a constant motor running in your body. It's feeling the buzzing motion of wheels turning inside your chest. It's the thoughts that twist and turn and inside your head.
Anxiety disorder is not the nervousness before a test. Anxiety disorder is sitting on your couch watching TV and suddenly wanting to curl up in a ball.
Anxiety disorder is walking into a store and having to leave because there are too many people and too much noise and energy.
Anxiety disorder is not a one and done illness. It attacks at every chance it gets and always finds a new way to evade your life.
